Nestled in the Himalayas, Nepal is the Kingdom where mortals mingle with deities. This tiny Himalayan Kingdom is a travelers paradise indeed – where one can stare at the worlds highest range, trek to the lower slopes where the mountain folks live, raft down a snow fed river, seek out a rhino or the elusive Bengal tiger from atop an elephant, ponder and admire the rich culture and artistic achievements of the Kathmandu valley, all in just one visit.
Within, this spectacular geography is also one of the richest and most diverse cultural landscapes anywhere. A virtual potpourri of ethnic groups, with as many as 30 languages and dialects. The best way to experience Nepal’s’ unbeatable combination of natural beauty and cultural riches is to walk through them. You will be passing through picturesque villages, inhabited by diverse ethnic groups and looming in the background scenery, the icy pinnacles of the Himalayas.
