Nepal, the land of majestic Himalaya is full of living legends and festive occasions.  The warm and friendly greeting of “Namaste” welcomes each visitor to Nepal.  Here Living Goddesses are still worshipped; temples and monasteries reverberate with the sounds of chants and prayers. To visit Nepal is to experience a holiday brimming with memorable moments.

Tourism officially opened in 1951. Nepal’s exotic reputation comes from its incomparable blend of high mountains and rich cultures.  Mount Everest towering over the rest of the Himalaya certainly is the crown jewel.  In addition, stunning locales range from high snow peaks to sub-tropical lowland jungles of the terai plains inhabited by diverse ethnic groups each with their own language, customs and beliefs living in close proximity for centuries.
