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.
