Nepal

Nepal is a small country located in the Himalayas in South Asia, between China and India. Its capital, Kathmandu, gives the country its name. Nepal is known for its diverse and abundant biodiversity, which is due in part to its unique geographical position and range of altitudes. The country is home to a variety of ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural groups, all of which are united by their commitment to national independence, territorial integrity, national interests, and prosperity.

Despite its small size, around 147,181 sq km, Nepal has a wide range of altitudes, from the Terai region near sea level to the highest point on earth, Mount Everest, at 8848 m. The country is situated between 800 4' and 800 12' east longitude and 260 22' and 300 4' north latitude.

Nepal was largely isolated from the rest of the world until the 1950s, when its borders were opened to outsiders. Since then, it has become a popular travel destination for people around the globe. It is known as the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, and as the home of the Gurkhas. It is also referred to as the "roof of the world" and the "land of legend and beauty," among other names. The Nepalese people are known for their warm and welcoming nature, and they often greet visitors with a smile and a "namaste." The country's location at the base of the majestic Himalayan peaks makes it a place of great beauty and fascination, a place that people return to again and again to visit new friends and explore the next base camp or summit.
