User:(WT-en) Travel Nepal

Nepal, the ultimate destination for the travellers and holidaying tourist is a land-locked country. Draped along the spine of the high Himalaya, Nepal is a land of sublime scenery, time-worn temples, deepest gorge, highest lake, eight out of ten highest peaks and some of the best challenging hiking trails on earth. It's a poor country, but it is rich in scenic splendour and cultural treasures.

The Himalayan kingdom is located between India and China, in South East Asia. It is the home of the historic cities, dense green forests along with the world's most endangered species like one-horned Rhinoceros and Royal Bengal tiger. It is also the birthplace of Lord Buddha.

The tiny country is consider as the country with more temples than houses and more gods & goddesses than the people who live here. You can count more festivals than the number of days in this unique country, where we have got ten World Heritage Sites, out of which seven are located within a a distance of 20 km inside Kathmandu valley. We even got Living Goddess Kumari here.

This Hindu kingdom’s culture, traditional arts and heritage dates back to more than thousand years. The wide mosaic of races and ethnic groups have given this country a distinct character and culture of her own, which was hidden from the western world till the mid of 19th century. Nepal, the birthplace of deities, the home of the legendary Gurkhas and hospitable people with exocitic culture is a souvenir mystic kingdom.

It is the kind of country that lingers in your dreams long after you leave from here. This is why so many travellers are drawn back here again and again with a greater appreciation of its natural and cultural complexity.
