Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity
due to its unique geographical position and latitudinal variation. The elevation
of the country ranges from 600 m above sea level to the highest point on earch,
Mt. Everest at 8,848 m, all within a distance of 150 km with climatic conditions
ranging from subtropical to arctic. This wild variation fosters an incredible
variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountian range on earth, thick tropical
jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers, forested hills
and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes
anywhere. The country is a potpourri of ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak
over 70 languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing
attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on earth. And you
