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.
It is an opportunity for you to take in the
country’s remarkable natural Kaleidoscope, delve
into its vast cultural repository, and delight
in its equally extensive adventure offerings.
The Nepal Himalayans, containing as many as
eight of the ten highest peaks in the world, is
undoubtedly the country’s biggest allure.
However, there is much more to Nepal than just
Mt. Everest and its minions. 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.
Equally breathtaking is Nepal’s cultural
heritage. The Kathmandu valley with temples,
shrines and other monuments packed into its nook
and cranny, as well as its arts and crafts,
architecture and the year round celebrations
that mark numerous festivals, is the cultural
hub of the nation. The practices and beliefs of
the diverse communities living elsewhere in the
Kingdom have added extra colour and flavour to
Nepal’s vibrant culture. |
