Nepal

Welcome to the roof of the World & birth place of Lord Buddha

Nepal is a country renowned worldwide as a nation of colour and contrasts; a hidden Shangri-La full of culture and mountainous adventure. Its hallmark, undoubtedly, are the majestic snow capped mountains of the Himalaya, which contain eight of the world’s largest peaks, including Mount Everest. Powerful rivers rush out from the Himalaya, providing world class rafting, as they cascade down the middle hills into the steamy flatlands of the Terai. Here exotic game and extensive flora have produced lush jungle reserves inhabited by indigenous peoples living in thatched huts surrounded by picturesque green paddy fields. Nepal, the Himalayan Kingdom, is thus an adventurer’s paradise, a naturalist’s dream and an ethnographic delight, which radiates a piety that is matched by only a few places on this earth. It is primarily an agricultural country with carpet making and tourism as its major industries. At its center is the ‘City of Golden Pagodas and Parasols’, Kathmandu, Nepal’s much loved capital.
