Nepal is a land of incredible diversity and seeming
contradictions. A small land locked realm that
encompasses eight of the world’s ten highest peaks and
plunges into the flaming heat of the Gangetic plains,
inhabited by a remarkable variety of peoples
and
culture.
The Himalayas, ‘Abode of the Snow’, marks the northern
bounds of South Asia and the Indian Subcontinent, while
Nepal’s territory edges beyond this mighty range to
reach into the Tibetan Plateau and Central Asia.
The country is the world’s only Hindu Kingdom and has a
sizable Buddhist minority. Nepali people of all ethnic
and religious persuasions are famous for their friendly,
welcoming attitude. You will be welcomed into homes
across the country with a smile and a warm cup of tea
and leave with lifelong friends.
