In a small periphery of 147181 sq km, in a length of 885 km from the east to the west, is the world's longest Himalayan region where the 9 highest peaks of the world are situated, including Mt Everest. In a small width of about 250 km from the Indian plains of the Terai in the south through the greeneries of the hilly region to the highest Himalayan ranges of the north, one can realize every climate of the world. From the sweating 40 degrees C of the southern plains to the -40 degree C of the Himalayan region, it is found the world's richest biodiversity.

From the 67 meters above sea level of the Terai to the top of the world (8848.86m), the climate will be changed every one hour. As the living museum of the world, happy and smiling Nepalese people of more than 120 ethnic groups with their own culture, language, customs and traditions and the way of life welcoming you everywhere make you a feeling of meeting the best real friends and the happiest poor you ever seen and touched.

Three hundred and fifty million people offering 33 million God and Goddesses with 10 world heritage sites in a small area make you feel the relationship between the real divinity and the richest cultural and religious way of life.
