🇳🇵 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

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.
