Explore Nepal
From the world’s highest mountains to peaceful alpine lakes, wild rivers, lush forests and wildlife-rich plains, Nepal is a country shaped by nature.
Within a remarkably compact landscape, Nepal rises from the subtropical plains of the Terai through green hills and deep river valleys to the spectacular Himalayan range.
Home to eight of the world’s fourteen mountains above 8,000 metres, including Mount Everest, Nepal offers an extraordinary concentration of natural beauty and biodiversity.
Come for the mountains. Discover everything in between.
Nepal is home to some of the most spectacular mountains on Earth. Eight of the world’s fourteen peaks above 8,000 metres rise here, including Mount Everest (Sagarmatha), Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna.
But Nepal’s Himalayas are about much more than reaching a summit. Walk beneath snow-covered peaks, watch the first light of sunrise touch the mountains, cross high Himalayan valleys, visit remote communities or simply stand quietly before landscapes that have inspired generations.

Across Nepal, pristine lakes reflect mountains, forests and open skies. Relax beside Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range on the horizon, journey to the remote beauty of Rara Lake, experience the striking turquoise waters of Shey Phoksundo, or trek into the high Himalayas to discover Gosaikunda, Gokyo and Tilicho.
From subtropical wetlands to high-altitude glacial lakes, Nepal’s waters are places of extraordinary natural beauty, biodiversity and cultural significance.

Thousands of rivers and streams begin their journeys in Nepal’s mountains, carrying Himalayan waters through dramatic gorges, green valleys, forests and fertile plains.
The Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali river systems help shape both Nepal’s landscape and the lives of the communities that have developed along their banks. For travellers, these waters offer everything from peaceful riverside scenery to unforgettable adventures including rafting, kayaking and canyoning.

Nepal’s wilderness extends far beyond its mountains. Travel from the Himalayas toward the southern plains and the landscape transforms into dense forests, wetlands and sweeping grasslands supporting an extraordinary variety of wildlife.
Nepal provides habitat for remarkable species including the greater one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, gharial, red panda, Himalayan tahr and the elusive snow leopard. National parks and conservation areas protect these landscapes while giving visitors opportunities to experience Nepal’s wild side responsibly.

Some of Nepal’s most beautiful landscapes are found between the high Himalayas and the southern plains. Green hills, forested ridges, peaceful valleys, traditional villages and generations-old terraced fields create landscapes that change with every season.
From the lakes and mountain views of Pokhara to the historic hill town of Bandipur, the tea gardens of Ilam, and the panoramic viewpoints around Nagarkot and Dhulikhel, Nepal’s middle hills reveal another side of the country. Here, nature and everyday life exist side by side.
