Welcome to Nepal! The biggest natural museum
in the world. Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of
bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and latitudinal variation.
The elevation of the country ranges from 600 m above sea level to the highest
point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 m, all within a distance of 150 km with
climatic conditions ranging from subtropical to arctic. This wild variation
fosters an incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountian range on
earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering
rivers, forested hills and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes anywhere. The country is a potpourri of ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 70 languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on earth. And you can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the year in traditional style highlighting enduring customs and beliefs.
