ABout Nepal

The Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal lies between India and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, at 26o 12' and 30o 27' North Latitude and 80o 04' and 88o 12' East Longitude.

From the highest mountain on Earth - Mt. Everest (8848m.), known as Sagarmatha in nepali, to the deepest gorge in the world - Kali Gandaki , the topography of this country varies, covering an area of 147,181 sq. km. This country is a land of people belonging to diverse ethnic groups. The traditions, culture, and way of life of each group are all fascinating.

Whether you like to indulge yourself in a leisurely visit to historical monuments and religious shrines or experience an adventure through trekking, white water rafting, and jungle safaris, you have your own choice. Nepal is the perfect destination for high altitude adventurers, trekkers (both experienced and beginner) leisurely travellers and holiday makers.

The Valley of Kathmandu houses three cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur}
all packed with both historical and religious monuments. A tour of these cities lets you travel back into Nepal's history, enjoying the artifacts and heritage of the Himalayas that is still alive and dynamic.

The co-existence of two great religions - Hinduism and Buddhism- encourages everyone  to live in harmony, putting aside all worldly material differences. This valley houses seven World Heritage Sites (Cultural). Throughout the year the Nepalese celebrate one festival after another.

Each and every corner of the three cities offers you a variety of arts and crafts such as woodcarvings and metal crafts.

After a visit to Nepal, you will keep those beauties

preserved in your mind that the camera never can.
