About Nepal

Nepal, a country of the Himalayas surrounded by the white Himalayas, is internally linked with the history, culture, and resources of Nepal. Nepal, being a landlocked country, is just 800km long and 200km wide. However, Nepal is a small country with just an area of about 147,181 square kilometers wedged between the two giant countries of Asia. The gradual change in sea level has increased from just 150m above sea level to 8848m at the top of Mt. Everest. Thus, the unique geographic feature of Nepal makes it one of the best places for trekking destinations. Rising from the low plain open lands of the Terai to the high mountainous region, the altitude difference is from minimum to maximum. Due to this dramatic landscape, Nepal is home to a variety of plants, animals, and people, which opens up the opportunity for activities like jungle safari tours in Nepal. The landscapes of Nepal are not only about hills and mountains; they are also about the flowing rivers drained down from the glaciers in the Himalayas, which have designed the landscapes of Nepal into ridges and plunging valleys. As villages are the most important part of Nepal, they are close to the water resources and are the trail for most of the trekking destinations. Because of the difficult terrain and the unique landscapes giving rise to ridges, valleys, gorges, hills, and mountains, a variety of activities like trekking, climbing, bungee jumping, and paragliding are available in Nepal.
