Namaste! Welcome to a land you will never forget - a land of snow-capped mountain and quiet river valleys of ancient preserved cities and towering pagoda temples, of friendly people and fascinating folkways. Nepal offers unique pleasures for everyone -- tourists trekkers, wildlife enthusiasts, mountaineers, art connoisseur, poets and those in search of a personal Shangri-La.
Tucked within the borders of this small country is an astounding variety of animals, plants and geologic formations. The world's tallest point, the summit of Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest), commands the north, while the luxurious jungles of the Terai, filled with birds and beasts, command the south. In nearly a dozen wilderness parks and reserves you can find everything from the majestic Royal Bengal tiger and the Great One-horned rhinoceros to the nimble Musk deer and the elusive Snow leopard.
Nepal is a land for all seasons -- year around there are a myriad places to go, people to meet and sites to see. Year around there are exciting adventure activities: trekking, white water rafting, biking, mountaineering and jungle safaris. And year around there is a delightful, never-ending procession of colourful festivals.
Nepal is a land where the arts and culture are as well preserved as the valleys and forests -- temples enriched with wood carving and bronzes, millennium-old statues standing along the wayside, songs and dances unchanged for centuries, and entire cities preserved in their medieval splendor. And it is a place where craft traditions are as vital as they were a thousand years ago, a place where one can buy wood carvings. statues, gems and weaving similar to those of the ancient world.
