Nature

Nepal offers an astonishing topographical variation with altitude ranging from 60 m to 8,848 m just within a span of just 193 km. Partly on account of this, Nepal boasts of all kinds of climates ranging from alpine to temperate to tropical. All kinds of flora from tundra-like vegetation to desert-type cactuses to rainforest. All kinds of fauna from prairie dog-like Marmot to snow leopard to dolphin. All kinds of geo-features ranging from the steppes (wind-swept desert landscape) to countless river to lake valleys and vales to hills to mountains to plains to jungles to marshland to grassland, etc. Not to mention, hundreds of rivers, glacial lakes, lakes, and creeks with their common origin in the Himalayas. The Kali Gandaki meanders between the world’s deepest gorge/canyon. The highest mountain in the world— still the last mystical symbol of purity left in the world gone wrong. Over 70 ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture and language, spread out across the length and breadth of Nepal mostly in hamlets, villages and shantytowns. Temples, shrines, festivals all year long. All you need in order to enjoy all these are a pair of strong legs and the spirit of adventure. If you feel you the spirit of adventure along with strong legs then you got to go for it for its worth.
