Travel Information
Nepal’s acronym Never Ending Peace And Love, does well to characterize
this nation of good-natured and accommodating people; a land of majestic
Himalayan scenery comprising eight of the world’s ten highest mountains,
including Mt Everest the uppermost place on earth at 29,029ft (8,848m).
Situated between India and Tibet, the Kingdom of Nepal is filled with many
different ethnic groups, customs, and traditions reflected in wonderfully
diverse geography.
Spread across these varied altitudes are communities of colorful cultures
and people (many untouched by modern development), animated cities and towns,
and far-flung mountain villages. Life here revolves around an intricate
intermingling of ancient Hindu and Buddhist religious rituals. Numerous
festivals are celebrated throughout the year colored by a diversity of
religious and tribal traditions. The capital of Kathmandu brings an assortment
of these different societies together into a vibrant collection of brilliant
sights and exotic smells, with modern shops co-existing with street sellers,
while pyramidal Buddhist temples, holy Sadhus of the Hindu faith, and medieval
palace squares fill the urban landscape.
Nepal has many attractions, but the essence of the country is its smiling,
friendly people with their heartfelt palm-pressed greetings, and together with
its inspiring scenery, this beguiling kingdom is a place where one visit is
usually not enough to satisfy the captivated traveler. Find Cheap Flights to
