Welcome to nepal

Nepal is a land of very mystic, beautiful and historically, tropically as well as geographically unique with a drastic cultural enrichment. Nature has bountifully bestowed Nepal with the magnificent Himalayan Mountain range which traverses the kingdom right across its northern fringe providing spectacular views to the onlooker and many a great challenge to mountaineers from all over the world.

Besides these marvelous snow-clad phenomena, the rest of the country is hills, valleys and tropical lowlands. These variations in altitude makes Nepal an arena for a great variety of plant and animal life. Such exotic species of flora like the Rhododendron, Primulae and Orchids are a common sight in the wilderness. Likewise, among the fauna, the alpine region of the country harbors rare animals like Snow Leopards, Musk Deer, Blue Sheep and Himalayan Tahrs. In the lowland Terai region while on a jungle safari, encounters with Rhinos, Tigers, Leopards, Gaurs, Sloth Bears and Crocodiles are not uncommon. The numerous glacier fed rivers that flow down from the Himalayas to the Terai, lowlands provide exciting white-water courses for rafting and kayaking.

For the traveler, Nepal is the perfect destination to encounter the spirit of true Himalayan adventure. This is the country where one can experience delightful holidays of culture tours, a thrilling mountain flight to the vicinity of Mt. Everest, wildlife safaris into the abode of Tigers and Rhinos, treks into the breathtaking Himalayas and running the river rapids on kayaks or rafts.

Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitudinal variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 m above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 m, all within a distance of 150 km resulting into climatic conditions from Subtropical to Arctic.

Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and is the world's youngest republic. It is bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometers and a population of approximately 30 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass[3] and the 41st most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city. Nepal is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north contains eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Mount Everest. The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. By some measures, Hinduism is practiced by a greater majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation.[4] A minority faith in the country, Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama who, as the Buddha Gautama, gave birth to the Buddhist tradition. Nepal had been a monarchy throughout most of its history. Prithvi Narayan Shah, a Shah dynasty king, unified the many small kingdoms in 1768. Since then, the country had been ruled by a dynasty of kings. However, a decade-long People's Revolution by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) along with several weeks of mass protests by all major political parties of Nepal in 2006, culminated in a peace accord and the ensuing elections for the constituent assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the abdication of the last Nepali monarch Gyanendra Shah and the establishment of a federal democratic republic in May 28, 2008.[5] The first President of Nepal, Dr. Ram Baran Yadav was sworn in on 23 July, 2008.
