Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is located on the country's central plateau at an altitude of about 2,350 meters and has a pleasant climate that has been described as the "Italy of Africa". The city is a blend of Italian colonial architecture and local culture, with a large number of well-preserved modernist buildings, including futuristic churches, Art Deco theaters, and colorful homes. An example of early 20th century urban planning, its historic center was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Asmara is not only a political and economic hub, but is also known for its unique cultural scene and laid-back pace of life, and is a window to explore Eritrea's history and diverse civilizations.
Located in Mugu district in the mountains of west-central Nepal, Dhanna is a hidden gem on the Annapurna trekking route. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling snow-capped mountains, this traditional village at an altitude of about 1,120 meters retains its original Thakuri culture. Its stone-built houses and terraced rice paddies stand out against the landscape, and the villagers still make a living from farming and handicrafts, living at a leisurely pace. As the gateway to the 'world's deepest gorge' on the banks of the Kali Gandaki River, Dhanna is both a starting point for trekking enthusiasts and an ideal place to experience Nepalese village life. With early morning views of the snow-capped peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, and dusk walks through quaint villages, Dhanna offers a tranquil and isolated charm that makes it one of Nepal's most untouched natural and cultural treasures.
