KATHMANDU, Oct 30: Nepal has been ranked one of the top 10 destinations for visit in 2022.


Lonely Planet, one of the world's most popular travel guide books, in its 16th edition, has identified Muktinath of Nepal at 8th rank in its annual list. “In the remote region of Mustang (which means "fertile plain"), trekkers can explore the high desert and meet locals at homestays along the way, dining on Nepali specialties like coffee with yak butter and momos served "kothey" style -- half fried and half steamed," reads the guidebook.
