...simply breathtaking..

The Nepal is derived from Nepa. The old name of Katmandu Valley was Nepa in Nepal Bhasa, the language of Newars the early inhabitants of th valley. It has also been suggested that the name comes from the Tibetan niyampal, which means "holy land".
For a small country, Nepal has a great physical diversity, ranging from the Tarai Plains, the northern rim of the Gangetic Plain about 300masl in south to the almost 8800masl Mt Everest, locally known as Sagarmatha in the north. The rhythm of life in Nepal is intrinsically intertwined with its physical environment.
