🇳🇵 About Nepal

Nepal is a small yet stunningly diverse country in South Asia, nestled between India and China. Though it covers just 0.1% of Earth’s landmass, it is home to:

  • 2% of global flowering plants

  • 8% of the world’s bird species (848+)

  • 4% of the world’s mammals

  • 11 of the world’s 15 butterfly families (500+ species)

  • 319 orchid species and 600 plant families

Nepal’s elevation ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the world’s highest point, Mt. Everest (8,848 m), within just 150 km. This creates a wide variety of climates—from tropical lowlands to arctic alpine peaks.

Home to eight of the world’s 14 peaks over 8,000 m, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Annapurna, Nepal is a paradise for trekkers, climbers, and nature lovers.

Culturally, Nepal is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious nation, with over 100 ethnic groups, 92 spoken languages, and a population of around 27 million. It is known as the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the Land of Living Goddess, and a living cultural museum due to its ancient temples, festivals, and traditions.

From snow-capped Himalayas to subtropical jungles with rhinos and tigers, Nepal offers an unforgettable experience to all—from spiritual seekers to adventurers.
