"Top of the World" is exactly where you are when you are in Nepal. With home to 8 of the top 14 mountain peaks in the world, Nepal is the land of the Himalayas. For most, Nepal is a Himalayan country, Home of the Gurkha Soldiers, the mightiest militant, home of the Sherpas, the tough Himalayan climbers, land of Yeti, a mythical abominable snowman, Shangri-La, a mystical kingdom hidden beyond Himalayas, a Land of Festivals, Temples, Shrines and Sanctuaries. But there is more to Nepal than meets the eye.
Nepal is one of the richest
countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical
position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60
meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848
meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions
from Sub-tropical to Arctic.
