A land of diverse topography, climate, ethnicity and biodiversity, Nepal is a country of amazing extremes. The world's highest peaks including the mighty Sagarmatha (Everest) tower over the terraced foothills sparsely populated by over 36 distinct ethnic groups. Thick jungles where elephants, rhinos and tigers roam. White-water rivers cascading from their glacial origins high in the Himalayas. A personal Shangrila awaits every visitor who travels to this enchanted wonderland !

The exotic valley of Kathmandu is surrounded by green hills above which, to the north, tower the mighty snow-capped peaks. Three main cities of great historic and cultural interest Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal), Patan and Bhaktapur house numerous shrines, temples, palaces, squares and ageless sculptures making Kathmandu a living museum.
