NEPAL:  Trekking and Climbing Paradise : Where is Nepal ?

Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, sandwiched between the two giants India and China, Nepal is a land of sublime scenery; time- worn temples scatter around the best trekking and climbing routes on earth. It is one of the richest countries in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters to Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from sub-tropical to arctic. This amazing variation fosters an incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountain range on earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers, rolling hills, hidden valleys, along with centuries old diverse ethno cultures and festivals. Thus resulting one of the most fascinating Himalayan destinations for adventure trekking, cultural tour, peak climbing and mountaineering expeditions.
