Nepal

Nepal, small though it may, has so much to offer the visitor that each day of your journey through this ancient land will be a discovery. Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mount Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from sub-tropical to arctic.

Nepal - occupying only 0.1% of the earth - is home to:

- 2% of all the flowering plants in the world

- 8% of the world's population of birds (more than 848 species)

- 4% of mammals on earth

- 11 of the world's 15 families of butterflies (more than 500 species)

- 600 indigenous plant families

- 319 species of exotic orchids

The Nepal Himalayans, containing as many as eight of the ten highest peaks in the world, is undoubtedly the country's biggest attraction. However, there is much more to Nepal than just Mt. Everest. Mighty rivers tumble down from the Himalaya offering world class rafting opportunities, and the flatlands of the Terai are dotted with jungle reserves that shelter some of Asia's most exotic wildlife. Indeed, the breathtaking biotic diversity that can be found here has given the Kingdom a natural affluence matched by few places on this earth.

Nepal has been claimed as one of the best sightseeing destination among the tourists with all its varied language, tradition & unique hospitality of the people inhabited in the countryside. Hinduism & Buddhism are the two principal religions of Nepal along with other several religions followed by the people from different ethnic groups. The amazing & magnificent sight of the Himalayas, a diversity of beautiful landscape, all are beyond human imagination. Nepal has lots to offer to the world in the field of tourism.
