Basking in the grandeur of the mighty Himalaya, the youngest yet highest mountain range in the world, considered the abode of the Gods, Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia, bordered by China in the north and India in the south, west and east. This birthplace of the messenger of peace Siddhartha Gautama Buddha is also home to the bravest of the brave Gurkha warriors and hosts the world’s highest peak Mt. Everest among many others.

Nepal is embellished with the gleaming Himalayan range in the north and adorned with tropical low­land greenery in the south. Captivating art and culture, cryptic monasteries and temples, numerous massive palaces and monuments, unique festivals and lifestyles, sublime exquisite scenery and some of the best walking trials on earth combined with stirring adventurous bustles are the prominent attributes of this breathtaking land which has positioned it as a distinctive travel destination in the world.
