NEPAL
Nepal is a beautiful landlocked country. Despite its small size, the country has a variety of landscapes, from high, rocky mountainous terrain to lush green hills and flat, fertile Terai plains. The rich culture, natural beauty and heartwarming hospitality make Nepal a must-visit country. There are many ways to explore Nepal. However, to explore the Himalayan region, the best option is to trek.
The mountainous country of Nepal is located in South Asia. To the north is the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China and to the south is India. Roughly rectangular in shape, Nepal is 885 km long and ranges from 145 km to 241 km wide. Nepal is also home to the largest mountain range on Earth, the Himalayas. This creates an elevation profile that is one of the most extreme in the world. It ranges from just 70m above sea level to the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest, at 8,848m. Due to this vast disparity in elevation over a distance of 150 km, Nepal has vast climatic variations ranging from subtropical to alpine. It is world renowned for its incredible diversity of ecosystems.
The high peaks of the Himalayas in the north quickly drop to the dense tropical forests teeming with wildlife in the south, on their way to the Gangetic floodplain. Between the two extremes lie sparkling glaciers, roaring rivers, forested mountains and terraced slopes. Apart from an incredibly rich and diverse ecology, Nepal also has wonderful cultural traditions. As you gaze at the architecturally valuable temples and historic palaces, you can marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic talent of the people, both then and now. Part of the religious and cultural fabric of Nepal are their numerous national and religious festivals. These festivals and ceremonies have been celebrated since time immemorial and can be witnessed at all times of the year. Nepal is also renowned for the warm hospitality extended to every guest. Awaiting you in this mysterious region is an atmosphere of welcome and warmth for all who come. Nepal is a breathtaking and captivating land of myths and legends to visit, see, and experience.
Similarly, Pokhara, Chitwan, Janakpur, Ilam and many other places in Nepal are famous for their diverse activities and culture. Wherever you go; you will be greeted with the broadest smiles of the most friendly Nepalese. Nepal has so much to offer you. Being at the top of the world, Nepal is one of the most visited places in a lifetime – it is just a step away from heaven. Come and travel to the holy land to see the combination of nature and culture, the most popular areas of which are the Everest region, Annapurna region and Langtang ranges as well as the many iconic Mera peak and island peak. Nepal is not only about mountaineering and trekking, but also white water rafting, canyoning, paragliding, mountain flying, kayaking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, or for nature lovers, the chance to see the Bengal tiger or the rare one-horned rhinoceros. These wonders and more await you in Nepal.
