“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” This quote by unknown is just everything. No matter how hard you work, how wealthy you are, or how luxurious house you live in, none of these matter if you don’t actually know how to live your life. Nepalese Prime Minister K.P. Oli was laughed at when he at an event said, “Gaida nai dekhe chhaina vane, gayena ta aadha zindagi khera.” (If you haven’t seen a rhino yet, half of your life is wasted). If we actually think about it, and think about it well, he does make sense. Thousands of tourists visit Nepal every month and to be honest, they know our country better than we do because they travel to more places in our own country than we have. So, if we haven’t actually traveled our country and haven’t seen the wildlife treasure as the rhinos, are we actually living? In sort, traveling is important. Once in a while, you do need to move and see the new places you have never been to.
So today we will be talking about some of the international destinations a Nepali passport holder can visit without a visa as you can obtain it from the airport after you land at your destination.

If you plan your trip well, the visits to these countries won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Here’s the list in alphabetical order.
