fantastic array of attractions for tourists.
It is best known as the home of the Mount
Everest but there is much more to the country
than just one mountain. Nepal is a fascinating
land of ancient history, vibrant cultures
& people and scenic grandeur. It is also
one of the richest countries in the world
in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique
geographical position and latitudinal variation.
Nepal has a rich and a most diverse culture
because of its unique location between the
world's two largest and ancient civilizations.
Nepal is the holy land of Lord Pashupatinath
and Gautam Buddha, where the Hindus and
Buddhists have coexisted for centuries in
total harmony. Lord Buddha, the 'light of
Asia', was born in Lumbini in Nepal's southern
plains, which makes Nepal a scared pilgrimage
destination for all Buddhists as well. The
Temple of Pashupatinath is Nepal's most
scared Hindu shrine and one of the four
most important sites in the world for Shiva
worshippers. Please allow us to share with
you and your friends - the many splendors
of our beautiful country and the warm hospitality
