The artistic monuments, exotic wildlife and diverse cultures are some of the features of this country. Nepal is the birth country of Lord Buddha born over 2,500 years ago- a great preacher and practitioner for World Peace. Roughly rectangular in shape, it is situated between China in the north and India in the east/west/south. The land extends approximately 885 km east to west, and 193 km north to south. Nepal is primarily an agricultural country and 80% of the people live in rural areas. Tourism, carpets and garments are the major industries of Nepal.

Climate:

Nepal contains a variety of climatic conditions ranging from the tropical heat of the Terai plains to the freezing cold of the high Himalayas.

The Kathmandu valley, originally inhabited by the Newars consists of three districts namely Kathmandu (The capital city of Nepal), Bhaktapur and Lalitpur and is the  home of all casts and creeds of the country. The culture and artistry have earned an international reputation. The Sherpas of the Himalayas are known as tough mountain climbers. Brahmins and Chhetris are scattered over the hills and valleys. And Tamangs are found in the mid-hills and Kathmandu valleys. There are many other ethnic groups living in Nepal.

The name of Nepal’s currency is Nepali Rupee. Foreign currency must be exchanged through the banks or through authorized foreign exchange dealers. The receipts from such transactions are to be obtained and retained by the visitors other than Indian nationals. They have to make their payments in Hotels, Travel agencies, Trekking agencies and Air tickets in convertible foreign currency only.

Best Seasons of Nepal

Nepal has a typical monsoonal two-season year. The best time to be in Nepal is during the dry season which is from October to May. The start of the dry season, September through November is in many ways the best time of the year in Nepal. With the monsoon only recently finished, the countryside is green and lush. Nepal is at its most beautiful during this time and there are many colorful festivals to enjoy.
The trekking in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal is possible at any times of the year depending on where visitors are going . The most popular seasons for the high altitude are spring (February - May ) and Autumn (September. to November ). Winter (December - January) is very cold above 4000 m. and high mountain passes may be snowbound. But it is best season for trekking at lower (below 4000 m) altitude. During the monsoon season (June - August), you can trek in the rain-shadow areas north of the Himalaya like Mustang. Upper Mustang and Dolpa. These places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the high mountains and unaffected by the monsoon.
