| Nestled
high in the Himalayas between China(Tibet) and
India, Nepal rises from almost sea level to Mount
Everest at 8,848 m, and squeezes 8 of the world's
10 highest peaks between its landlocked borders.
However, Nepal is distinguished not only for its
high mountains, but also for its unique cultural
heritage, artistic monuments, exotic wildlife,
friendly people and generous hospitality. |
"The
first thing an outsider notices is the happy
atmosphere. Walk along a mountain trail and hear
a lilting flute or a farmer at work in his field,
singing at the top of his voice, oblivious to an
audience; singing for the sheer joy of it or as
an anthem in praise of the gods..... Yet this is
only the beginning, to taste this nectar is to
become addicted. One is compelled to delve deeper
into the heart of the country, to sink into the
Nepali cultural fabric and enwrap oneself in its
folds. So sensuous is this experience, that it is
hard to leave the country.... a splendid world
within a pinpoint."
(Steve Van Beek -
"Nepal: Our World in Colour.") |
