Welcome to Nepal

The biggest natural museum in the world
Nepal is one of the richest
countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique
geographical position and latitudinal variation. The elevation of the
country ranges from 600 m above sea level to the highest point on earch, Mt.
Everest at 8,848 m, all within a distance of 150 km with climatic conditions
ranging from subtropical to arctic. This wild variation fosters an
incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountian range on earth,
thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers,
forested hills and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular
geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes anywhere. The
country is a potpourri of ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 70
languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing
attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on earth. And you
can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the
year in traditional style highlighting enduring customs and beliefs.
We are glad to extend our warm hospitality and hope your stay in
