Introduction to Nepal

wounderful nepal

Nepal is small landlocked country like heaven located in South Asia. Nepal, home to Mount Everest, is dominated by the world's most imposing mountains. It is a small country(147,181 square kilometers), 80 percent of its territory is occupied by the dramatic peaks of the Himalayas. Population of approximately 27 million , Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass. This small, hospitable country has since become an exceptionally popular destination for travelers, whether they are in search of climbing challenges or spiritual enlightenment.Nepal has a rich geography as well. The mountainous north has eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth,Mount everest, called Sagarmatha in Nepali. It contains more than 240 peaks over 20,000 ft (6,096 m) above sea level.

    By some measures, Hinduism is practiced by a greater majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation. A minority faith in the country, Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama who, as the Buddha Gautama, gave birth to the Buddhist tradition.

The climate varies considerably with elevation. May to October is monsoon season, when rain soaks the Terai and snow falls on the Himalayan peaks. Mid-October to mid-December is prime mountaineering weather: the skies are clear and sunny, temperatures range from warm in the lowlands to crisp in the mountains. March and April are also good months for mountain treks, although temperatures in Kathmandu and the Terai tend to be steamy.
