Nepal represents a blend of ancient history, vibrant cultures and scenic grandeur. Located between China and India, Nepal’s main geographical features include snow capped peaks, lower mountains, mid-hills and fertile plains of tropical jungles. Nearly one third of the total length of the Himalayas and 8 of the world’s 14 highest peaks lie in Nepal. The landlocked country covers an area of 147,181 kilometer ranging from 60 meter to highest point at 8,848 meter above the sea level. Nepal’s popularity as a tourist destination has increased vastly over the years.
Similarly, Nepal offers an incomparable scope to connoisseurs of art and culture to see and study the different aspects of fine arts in its painting, sculpture, woodcarving and architecture. The three main historic cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur with numerous historical monuments, old palaces and palace squares, shrines and temples, ageless traditions and legends make it a veritable living museum. This Kathmandu valley boasts seven UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites all within a radius of 20 kilometers.
