Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia, nestled between India to the south and China (Tibet) to the north. Known as the "Roof of the World," Nepal is home to the majestic Himalayas, including Mount Everest—the highest peak on Earth.

Its diverse geography spans from the low-lying Terai plains to the towering Himalayan peaks, offering stunning natural beauty and an array of climates. Nepal is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, ancient temples, and deep spiritual traditions, making it a hub for adventure seekers, trekkers, and those seeking tranquility.

Nagarkot, a serene hill station located just 32 kilometers from Kathmandu, is one of Nepal’s hidden gems. Known for its panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest on clear days, Nagarkot is a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature and enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Its tranquil atmosphere makes it the perfect escape from the hustle of city life and an ideal spot to begin your journey in Nepal.

Kathmandu, the bustling capital city, serves as the main gateway to the country and is steeped in history, with ancient architecture, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and a vibrant local culture.
