Nepal is a land where history, mythology, and breathtaking landscapes intertwine. Every street corner whispers a story, and every mountain holds a legend. According to the Pashupati Purana, the name “Nepal” comes from the Hindu sage “Ne,” the guardian of this sacred Himalayan realm in ancient times.
Home to 8 of the world’s 14 highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Nepal offers a stunning contrast of landscapes—from the snow-clad Himalayas to the lush jungles of the Terai. Each region boasts its own unique culture, traditions, festivals, and cuisine, making every journey here a cultural discovery as much as an adventure.
Whether you seek the thrill of high-altitude trekking or the serenity of temple courtyards, Nepal has something for every traveler. You can trek among the towering peaks, explore ancient cities, experience vibrant festivals, or venture into national parks rich with wildlife. Nepal is also an adventure playground, offering bungee jumping from one of the world’s highest commercial jumps, paragliding over stunning valleys and lakes, white-water rafting through thrilling Himalayan rivers, as well as zip-lining, canyoning, and rock climbing for adrenaline seekers.
For those with creative or educational interests, Nepal offers equally enriching experiences such as photography tours capturing landscapes, wildlife, and culture; educational and cultural programs for students and researchers; volunteer opportunities in local communities; and wildlife and birdwatching tours in the Terai’s protected reserves.
