Lonely Planet says Nepal the world's best value destination for 2017

“Nepal is the world’s number one destination in terms of service and value,” the Best in Travel 2017 list which showcases the top 10 countries, cities, regions and best value destinations for next year, added.

“The 2015 earthquakes caused devastation, but what is most striking from a traveller’s perspective is not how much was lost but how much remains.”
Landmark temples crumbled, but others came through with just the odd tile out of place, and whole swathes of the country escaped serious damage, including most of the popular trekking trails, it added.
According to the leading travel guide brand, Nepal has all the skills required to repair monuments and infrastructure, but what it does need is income.
“By visiting Nepal now and supporting local culture and people, you can help a nation rebuild and bounce back even stronger.”
Nepal is bouncing back from earthquakes and a fuel strike that made getting round the country tough. “It remains a fabulous choice for budget-conscious travellers, who can access the best of its world-famous trekking routes and underrated wildlife for well south of US$50 a day,” it describes.

“The number of visitors is slowly recovering and the time is ripe to get back to Nepal’s mighty mountains; wherever you go, you’ll receive a warm welcome, as your visit brings much-needed income to communities getting back on their feet.”
Lonely Planet’s listing certainly inspires the stakeholders as the country has already announced to mark 2017 and 2018 as ‘Nepal Visit Year’.
Millions of customers around the world rely on Lonely Planet to help them travel, the company said.
