Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia. It is bordered by India to the south, east, and west, and China to the north.
Nepal has one of the most diverse topographies in the world. The majestic Himalayas rise in the north, the Terai plains stretch in the south, and pristine hills lie in between. Known as the birthplace of Lord Buddha, “The Light of Asia,” Nepal offers landscapes that range from the peak of Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth, to fertile plains rich in wildlife, flora, and human culture.
Despite its small size, Nepal is extremely rich in natural and cultural heritage. It is home to people of all religions, where Hinduism and Buddhism have coexisted in harmony for thousands of years.
