"The Land of Mt. Everest and Birth Place of Lord Buddha !!!"

Nepal is the land of remote mountain villages where people survive by growing their own food on the thousands of hill terraces that scale even the steepest lopes. 86% of the populations in Nepal are subsistence farmers but mechanized farming is unheard of here; the fields are ploughed by water buffalo, and ox, the corn harvested and threshed by hand and ground by water mills.

The country is virtually road less so travel throughout the hill regions is only possible on foot and all basic goods have to be carried by men or beasts. Many areas lack basic facilities like drinking water, elementary education and medical facilities. But many touristy areas are sufficiently developed for your stay to be comfortable. The past splendor and glory of this land can be seen in the architectural expression still to be found in the ancient cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.

Nepal is well known as a mystical land of unparalleled variety with the altitude of 70m above the sea level in the south & 8848 m height of Mt. Everest in the north. This vast diversity in altitude has reflected to our unique culture. Verities of ethnic groups have their own dramatic culture, language and dialects but most of them can communicate in Nepali. Nepal is famous for the beauties of nature by the soaring peaks of the Himalayas, green valleys, terraced farmlands, hilly foot trails & the forested plains full of rare wild lives including the lordly tiger, one – horn rhinoceros. The religious homogeneity is next unique feature for Nepal. The flourishing of art and architecture of Nepal reflect the artistic ingenuity & the religious tradition of people as well. The crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers with deep gorge and hot springs can be well thought-out as the major astonishing point of Nepal & plants like orchids & laden rhododendrons is as charming as you can visualize.

Nepal has captivated the imagination of mountaineers, explorers and all the manner of foreign visitors since it first opened its door in the 1950s. A lot of tourist visits Nepal to scale an unconquered peak, others to undertake scientific research in the high mountains, some come to complete an energetic trek or high-adrenaline rafting trip, others to enjoy the peace and cultural richness of Nepal's lower slopes and valleys. Nepal is known as trekking Paradise. One trek is rarely enough in Nepal, and many visitors soon find themselves planning to return. Many visitors come to Nepal expecting to find these things but also discover how outstanding friendly the Nepalese are.
