Festivals and Attractions (Holi)

By far, the most famous attraction in Nepal is Mt. Everest. Previously considered unconquerable, the mountain was successfully summited in 1953 by New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary and Nepali Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Ever since then, foreigners have flocked to Nepal (and Tibet) to get their chance to climb from Base Camp to the highest peak on earth. Napali tourism brings in about a half billion dollars annually, and almost all of this comes from fees to climb Everest.
