About Nepal T he serenity and grandeur of Nepal attracts nearly one-half million visitors every year. From the north Nepal's sky high border with Tibet to the south, where the Terai's jungles buzz just above sea level, Nepal offers the visitor so many different environments to explore, even in a short time.
Climate ranges from tropical in the low lands, to arctic in the higher altitudes.
With regards to the Monsoon period, it mostly rains at night, leaving the following days clean and fresh. Nepal is also the home of many endangered species and wildlife. Temples, shrines, monuments and monasteries are very active with devotees burning butter-lamps, singing hymns, chiming temple bells and playing drums. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and also the political, cultural, and commercial hub of the Kingdom. Patan, famous for its bronze and silverware, is located at the southern end of the Kathmandu Valley.
