NAMASTE and warm greetings to you from
the land of the living Goddess, "KUMARI".
Nepal, a tiny Himalayan Republican State that is nestled between
China to the North and India to the South is one of the world’s
favorite destination for holidays, adventures and inner knowledge.
Nepal boasts of the famous landmark on Earth "Mt. EVEREST",
legendary Gurkha soldiers and above all it is the birth place
of Lord BUDDHA. For centuries NEPAL
has fascinated outsiders (particularly the Westerners) with
its natural beauty and cultural heritage. With the population
of 24 million and the land area of 147,181 sq km, Nepal is
fairly a small country compared to its neighbors, but richest
in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position.
Its altitude at sea level varies from a mere 60m in the southern
terai region to the highest point on Earth, Mt Everest at
8,848m, and all this within a distance of only 150km. Nepal,
a land of peace and tranquility, is a “destination
of a life time” for all foreigners.
From the Himalayas to the jungles
of the Terai, Nepal boasts of varied birds, animals, flora
and fauna some of which are rare and endangered. The ancient
temples and pagodas of the country reflect the rich culture
and architecture of the bygone era. Nepal has different ethnic
groups living in perfect harmony. The pleasing manners and
ever welcoming smiles of the Nepalese people have won the
hearts and minds of millions of visitors to this tiny Himalayan Republican for centuries. |
