Nepal

Nepal is a landlocked Himalayan nation in South Asia, celebrated for dramatic mountains, ancient cultures, and spiritual heritage. It is home to the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, and the birthplace of Gautama Buddha in Lumbini.

Historically, Nepal grew from early Himalayan kingdoms and city-states of the Kathmandu Valley, renowned for art and architecture. In the 18th century, unification under the Shah Dynasty shaped the modern state. Nepal remained independent through colonial times, transitioned from monarchy to a republic in 2008, and today is a diverse federal nation.

Culturally rich and multilingual, Nepal blends Hindu and Buddhist traditions, colorful festivals, and warm hospitality. With trekking routes in the Himalayas, wildlife reserves, and living heritage cities, Nepal offers a rare mix of adventure, spirituality, and history—compact, timeless, and unforgettable.
