Welcome To Nepal.. |

In
the pages of world history, Nepal is known
to be the Himalayan Kingdom, with a huge
diversity of ethnic groups from the
subtropical lowland of Terai Plateau up to
the highest mountains in the world including
Mt. Everest, Makalu, and Annapurna . Imagine
an incredible ascent from below the Terai
Plateau to the top of the world, Mt.
Everest! After tourism began in Nepal in
1951, Everest was conquered by Tenzing
Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953.
Besides the breathtaking natural scenery,
Nepal offers its visitors an abundance of
flora and fauna, which are best observed by
visiting one of the many national parks or
conservation areas. Chitwan National Park in
the Inner Terai region is one of the best
protected areas in Nepal and provides
habitat for such creatures as the one-horned
rhinoceros, royal Bengal tiger, sloth bear,
and gaur, as well as several hundred species
of birds. Fish-eating crocodiles, wild boar,
musk deer, and mountain goats can be found
throughout the region. Flowering plants such
as rhododendrons, magnolias, orchids,
poinsettias, camellias, cobra flowers, and
jasmine bloom in the hilly regions in
Spring.
A trip to Nepal will be one of the great
memories of your life. From the legendary
hospitality of its people, to the lonely
walks along the ancient trails amongst the
chirping birds and majestic peaks, to
rafting or kayaking on world class
whitewater, Nepal has something for
everybody. It is a Himalayan paradise that
creates the poetic views for the poets.
