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.
Crowned by eight of the world/s
10 highest mountains (including Mt. Everest at
8,848 m), Nepal/s geography packs an extremely
varied landscape into a small area. This wild
variation fosters an incredible abundance of vegetation
which is the habitat of an equally amazing wealth
of wildlife. Tigers, rhinos, monkeys, bears, yaks,
leopards and other animals co-exist with thousands
of species of insects, birds and butterflies.
Animal lovers NEPAL has lots in stored for you
to see .Thanks to Nepal/s extensive and effective
park and reserve system, the country has managed
to preserve more endangered species of flora and
fauna than any other area in Asia. Nepal has nine
national parks and three wildlife reserves, which
include areas in the highest mountains in the
world as well as tropical lowland of the plains.
Most of these parks are accessible by road and
provide visitors with easy access to the full
array of Nepal/s natural wonders. Nepal is home
to almost 10% of the world/s bird species - among
them 500 species are found in the Kathmandu Valley
alone. Get your binoculars and look up in the
trees.
The beautiful lake-city of Pokhara
is nature/s favorite child. The stunning Himalayan
panorama and the serene Phewa Lake and other rare
creations of nature make for a truly enjoyable
and relaxing interlude for delegates in between
long and tiring talk sessions.
