Nepal is a mountainous country which is a gift of nature.
Nepal is famous for its high snow-capped mountains and the panaromic scene of the mountains can take anyones breathe for sure. Nepal has tremendous topographical diversity and presents amazing geographical features. Landlocked by India on the south, east and west and by China in the north, Nepal has the highest peak in the world named Mount Everest which is 8,484metres high in elevation. The geographical difference in the country ranges from snowy mountain peaks touching the skies and corroding desert-like terrain of Mustang with ash-like cliffs and mountain caves. Settlements and villages on the foothills of the Himalayas and mountain lakes situated admist the crevasses of the peaks are only some of Nepal’s wonders.
