Nepal :

Nepal is a destination that combines the aesthetic and spiritual excitement and adventure between the valleys rich in 2500 years of culture where Hinduism and Buddhism met and created undreamed glories of spiritualism through stone, brick and metal for the eyes to behold and for the soul to experience.

The valley consist of three main cities of great historic and cultural interest in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Situated at an altitude of 1336 meter above sea level. The Kathmandu valley covers an area of 218 sq. miles. A bird's eye view of the Capital features the city as an oval shape structure with the sacred river Bagmati and its tributary Bishnumati wadding towards the south.

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is named after Kasthamandap, an imposing pagoda near Hanuman Dhoka Palace. The King Gunakama Dev built the city in 723 AD.

Contrary to common belief, there is a lot more to Nepal than trekking and mountaineering in the high Himalaya. It is a country rich in culture and history. There is a great variety of things to see and places to visit.

The Katmandu Valley itself has a huge number of extremely interesting sites to visit. The temples of Patan, Bhaktapur, Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath and Boudhanath are fascinating examples of living history. The sister cities of Patan and Bhaktapur, offer an experience akin to time travel. Then there is the jungle of the Terai plains with it tigers, rhinos and elephants; the roaring white water of the Himalayan rivers and the religious towns of Lumbini and Janakpur.
