Nepal Info |
Nepal is the land of remote
mountain villages where people survive by
growing their own food on the thousands of hill
terraces that scale even the steepest lopes. 86%
of the populations in Nepal are subsistence
farmers but mechanized farming is unheard of
here; the fields are ploughed by water buffalo,
and ox, the corn harvested and threshed by hand
and ground by water mills.
The country is virtually road less so travel
throughout the hill regions is only possible on
foot and all basic goods have to be carried by
men or beasts. Many areas lack basic facilities
like drinking water, elementary education and
medical facilities. But many touristy areas are
sufficiently developed for your stay to be
comfortable. The past splendor and glory of this
land can be seen in the architectural expression
still to be found in the ancient cities of
Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.
Nepal is well known as a mystical land of
unparalleled variety with the altitude of 70m
above the sea level in the south & 8848 m height
of Mt. Everest in the north. This vast diversity
in altitude has reflected to our unique culture.
Verities of ethnic groups have their own
dramatic culture, language and dialects but most
of them can communicate in Nepali. Nepal is
famous for the beauties of nature by the soaring
peaks of the Himalayas, green valleys, terraced
farmlands, hilly foot trails & the forested
plains full of rare wild lives including the
lordly tiger, one – horn rhinoceros. The
religious homogeneity is next unique feature for
Nepal. The flourishing of art and architecture
of Nepal reflect the artistic ingenuity & the
religious tradition of people as well. The
crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers with deep
gorge and hot springs can be well thought-out as
the major astonishing point of Nepal & plants
like orchids & laden rhododendrons is as
charming as you can visualize.
Nepal has captivated the imagination of
mountaineers, explorers and all the manner of
foreign visitors since it first opened its door
in the 1950s. A lot of tourist visits Nepal to
scale an unconquered peak, others to undertake
scientific research in the high mountains, some
come to complete an energetic trek or
high-adrenaline rafting trip, others to enjoy
the peace and cultural richness of Nepal's lower
slopes and valleys. Nepal is known as trekking
Paradise. One trek is rarely enough in Nepal,
and many visitors soon find themselves planning
to return. Many visitors come to Nepal expecting
to find these things but also discover how
outstanding friendly the Nepalese are. |
