Nepal

Nepal is one such country with amazingly diverse geography, landscapes, culture and traditions, all of which can be cherished on one of the many Himalayan treks. Earlier, only few tourists and some hippies were seen in Nepal but now, the number of tourists visiting from all over the world can be counted as nearly a million per year. Home to the tallest mountains in the world – Mt. Everest including other tall mountains, yaks and yetis, snow peaks, Gautam Buddha, Sherpa Climbers, world renowned Gurkha soldiers and so on, this landlocked country in South Asia has tremendously marked its presence and the past few years have been even more remarkable in one or the other way. Nepal has never been colonized and the people here belong to different ethnic group and speak host of languages representing national or ethnic pride. People here follow a rich culture that amazes the foreigners. The rich tapestry of the cultural heritage of Nepal is synthesized in the Kathmandu Valley. The three ancient cities of Patan, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur represents an epitome of harmony in urban design, elegant architecture and refined culture. These cities pack a concentration of religious monuments unequalled in the world including UNESCO recognized World Heritage Sites.
