Nepal is one of the richest countries in
the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique
geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of
the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest
point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a
distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from
sub-tropical to arctic. This wild variation fosters an
incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountain range on
earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife,
thundering rivers, forested hills and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest
cultural landscapes anywhere. The country is a potpourri of
ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 70 languages and
dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing
attractions and adventure oppurtunities found nowhere else on
earth. And you can join in the numerous annual festivals that
are celevrated throughout the year in traditional style
highlighting enduring customs and beliefs. |
