The Kingdom of Nepal is one of the most diverse and beautiful
places on earth and it is rich in history home to more
than 80 different groups of people and generally unaffected
by the modern ways of the western world. With the world's
10 highest mountains, lush tropics, arctic tundra, high
deserts, compressed into 147,100 square km., there is
always another mesmerizing place for us to take you to
quickly.
And unlike other Asian destinations, you can visit Nepal
any time of year.
If fascinating cities and ancient architecture is what
you seek, take a journey back in time to today's Kathmandu,
the Kingdom's capital and travel crossroads. Shop at its
bazaars, visit its countless temples, walk the grounds
of ancient palaces, or have a cup of tea at one of the
many tea stands that offers people watching like you have
never known it. When you're ready for something more rural,
we can take you south to the Terai, Nepal's agricultural
home where farming is still carried out by hand and fields
plowed by ox and to Royal Chitwan National Park where
Bengal tigers, elephants and rhinos rule the land.
Western Nepal is the most remote and least-known region
of the Kingdom, and of course, the Himalayas which separate
Nepal from neighboring India, Bhutan and Tibet.
Nepal is among the few countries in the world where Seven
World Heritage Sites are situated within 20 kms. of radius |
