Information About Nepal |
The Kingdom of Nepal is one of the most diverse
and beautiful places on earth and it is rich in
history home to more than 80 different groups of
people and generally unaffected by the modern
ways of the western world. With the world's 10
highest mountains, lush tropics, arctic tundra,
high deserts, compressed into 147,100 square
km., there is always another mesmerizing place
for us to take you to quickly. And unlike other
Asian destinations, you |
|
|
|
can
visit Nepal any time of year. If fascinating cities and ancient
architecture is what you seek, take a journey back in time to
today's Kathmandu, the Kingdom's capital and travel crossroads.
Shop at its bazaars, visit its countless temples, walk the
grounds of ancient palaces, or have a cup of tea at one of the
many tea stands that offers people watching like you have never
known it. When you're ready for something more rural, we can
take you south to the Terai, Nepal's agricultural home where
farming is still carried out by hand and fields plowed by ox and
to Royal Chitwan National Park where Bengal tigers, elephants
and rhinos rule the land. Western Nepal is the most remote and
least-known region of the Kingdom, and of course, the Himalayas
which separate Nepal from neighboring India, Bhutan and Tibet.
Nepal is among the few countries in the world where
Seven World Heritage Sites are situated within 20 kms. of
radius. |
