About Nepal
The Roof of the World
Nepal is a landlocked country nestled between India and China, home to eight of the world's fourteen highest peaks β including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,849 metres. But Nepal is far more than its mountains.
With a history stretching back over 3,500 years, Nepal is the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama β the Buddha β and a living tapestry of Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Its 30 million people speak over 120 languages and celebrate hundreds of festivals each year.
From the subtropical jungles of Chitwan to the alpine meadows of Mustang, Nepal compresses an extraordinary range of ecosystems, cultures, and experiences into a country smaller than the state of Arkansas.
