Nepal is a country of natural beauty and it is small world in itself. Here you will find the world's highest mountains including Mt. Everest (8848m) towering above lush green valleys and forested plains. Enchantment is found everywhere - be it on the slopes of the high mountains, the terraced farmlands, the numerous rivulets and the rushing rivers and the forests filled with flowra and fauna. No wonder Nepal has been described as "Sangri-La" or the abode of the gods and goddesses.
