Nepal
is a small country in South Asia situated between
the two giant nations, India & China. This tiny
Himalayan Kingdom lived virtually isolated from the
outside world for centuries, with its untouched massive
mountains, green terraced foothills, thick jungle
terrain, awe-inspiring white rivers; and of course
its people, who with their rich and colorful culture
remain as beautiful as their natural surroundings.

Draped
along the greatest heights of the Himalaya, the kingdom
of Nepal is a land of sublime scenery, time-worn temples,
and some of the best walking trails on earth. The kingdom
has long exerted a pull on the Western imagination and it's
a difficult place to dislodge from your memory once you
return. This is why so many travellers are drawn back to
Nepal, armed the second time round with a greater appreciation
of its natural and cultural complexity, a stout pair of
walking boots and a desire for improved leg-definition.
Opened
to foreigners in the very recent past, Nepal is now readily
accessible to the traveler who seeks adventure in the Himalayan
foothills & jungles.
Nepal
is a trekkers paradise. It offers the most spectacular
mountain scenery in the world with more then a dozen of the
highest mountains on earth including the highest peak Mt.Everest.
Widely known all over the world as the SHANGRI-LA in the Himalayan,
Nepal is a pilgrimage everyone in the world would like to
make. Thousands of people from all over the world visit the
hills and mountains of Nepal every year. Special walking trips
to most of the open areas of the country are organized by
many different trekking agencies with offices in Kathmandu,
the capital city. And hordes of different adventure trip organizers
from all over the world send hundreds of groups of eager travelers
to Nepal every year.
