Nepal is a small Asian country tucked between India and China that offers plenty of thrills!


Due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, the Himalayan range was formed. Eight of the 10 largest peaks in the world are in Nepal, all of which are over 20,000 feet tall.

Here are some reasons why Nepal is incomparable to other nations in terms of thrills mysteriously concealed by natural beauty:

1. Mountain Climbing

Climbing the world’s tallest mountain used to be an insurmountable task, but today, many climb to the top successfully and return alive. However, the cost is as high as the mountain itself--$25,000.

2. Trekking

Annapurna trekking route guarantees some of the wettest, driest and windiest places in Nepal, with stunning views, of course!

3. Wildlife

Chitwan National Park offers a plethora of animal and bird sightseeing for the whole family. On top of the elephant, all aboard!

4. Water Thrills

Whitewater rafting on the world’s fastest-moving rivers is only for the brave!

5. Cave Exploration

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave (top) and Mahendra Cave (bottom) in the city of Pokhara are a couple of the many hidden treasures.

6. Paragliding

Paragliding atop lakes and the steepest hills gives you a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape.

7. Everest Skydiving

Jump off a helicopter next to Everest for the ultimate thrill!

8. High Altitude Trekking

Trek to Tilicho Lake (approximately 16,000 feet above sea level), but beware of the thin air!

9. Surviving a Road under a High Waterfall

Check out this waterfall that flows down past a paved road!

Canoeing, biking and rock climbing are among other ways tourists soak in the excitement. With an abundance of natural beauty and action, Nepal won’t disappoint anyone who lives on the edge!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
