Welcome to Nepal
Nepal is a landlocked country sharing its territorial borders with China in the north and India in the south, east and west. Previously ruled as a kingdom, today it is the Federal Democratic Republic. Nepal is known for its exquisite natural beauty, with the iconic Himalayas running across the northern and western parts of the country. Eight of the fourteen highest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest, reside within the country's borders. Although Nepal is a relatively small country, it has an astonishingly diverse landscape having the world’s highest point Mt. Everest standing at 8,848m while the lowest point is in the Terai plains in eastern Nepal at 60m only.
Nepal is a land where deities mingle with mortals, and strange legends follow yak caravans down from the mountain passes to become part of Hindu folklore. Here live the Gurkhas, famed for their courage; the Sherpas, legends in mountaineering and the Newars, skilled craftsmen who contribute to the rich artistic heritage of the Kathmandu Valley.
