Mystic Nepal

Nepal, the birthplace of deities, the home of the legendary Gurkhas and hospitable people with exotic culture is known as a federal repulican of Nepal.

The Word Nepal resembles Never Ending Peace and Love. The tiny Himalayan country of Nepal is located between India and China in South East Asia. Nepal is the home of the historic cities, the world's deepest canyon, the most challenging trekking trails and eight of ten highest peaks including Mount Everest along with the world's most endangered species like one-horned Rhinoceros and Royal Bengal tiger. It is also the historical birthplace of Lord Buddha.

It is consider as the country with more temples than houses and more gods and goddesses than the people who live here. We can count more festivals than the number of days in this unique country. There are ten World Heritage Sites, out of which seven cultural sites are located within a distance of 20 km. inside Kathmandu valley namely Boudhanath Stupa, Swyambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Darbar Square, Bhaktapur Darbar Square, Patan Darbar Square, Changu Narayan Temple and Pashupatinath Temple. The eighth cultural site is Lumbini The birth place of lord Buddha. The rest of the two are natural world heritage sites, which are as Chitwan National Park and Sagarmatha National Park. In addition it is also the home of Living Goddess Kumari.

The 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 until the mid-19th century.
