It would be a serious oversight for any traveller to Nepal to neglect visiting at least some of the fascinating and beautiful places of interest, most of them lying only a short distance away by plane and bus. Nagarkot, Dhulikhel and Kakani are only a short distance outside the Valley; the first two, in fact, offer excellent views of the Valley and its various landmarks. Situated in other parts of the country are Pokhara, Tansen, Lumbini, Janakpur, Gorkha and Daman. Also of major interest are Nepal's National Parks and Wildlife Reserves along with some other destinations best reached by trekking.
