Nepal A Himalayan Adventure
See Katmandu and ancient cities. Join a seven-day trek in the terraced Middle Mountains. Raft down the Trisuli River. Take an elephant safari to see Asian rhino in Royal Chiwan Jungle.
Nepal is a land dating back to the time of Christ. It is steeped in ancient customs and traditions.
Everest is its highest mountain rising 29,028 feet, and shared by both Nepal and Tibet. It dwarfs all other mountains in the world.
Population in Nepal numbers about 14 million, with one million in the crowded capital city of Katmandu.
Agriculture is a mainstay of this tiny country of mountains and terraces. With little flat land, its people have conditioned itself to the remote, strenuous environment. Infant mortality is high, but those surviving past 10 years old may lead into their 70s.
Like other third world countries, Nepal is striving to move into the 21st century. In 1995, a Democratic National Congress opened up the country to other minority religions. There are signs of a flowering of Christian churches, especially in Katmandu.
