Nepal: A Natural Wonderland of Biodiversity

Nestled in the Himalayas, Nepal is a biodiversity hotspot. Despite occupying less than 0.1% of Earth’s land area, it is home to 3.2% of the world’s flora and 1.1% of its fauna, including iconic species like the Royal Bengal Tiger and Snow Leopard. With 12 national parks, 6 conservation areas, and 47% forest coverage, Nepal is a sustainable travel haven.

Adventure Awaits: Trekkers’ and Mountaineers’ Paradise

Nepal, home to 8 of the world’s 14 peaks exceeding 8,000 meters—including Mount Everest—is an adventurer’s dream. Whether conquering Everest, trekking the Annapurna Circuit, or discovering the wilderness of Bardiya National Park, Nepal promises thrilling journeys enriched by its vibrant cultural heritage.

Conservation Triumphs and Global Recognition

Nepal’s conservation success is a global beacon. TIME Magazine named Bardiya National Park’s Burhan Wilderness Camp one of the “Top 100 Places on Earth for 2024.” With its thriving wildlife, including tigers and one-horned rhinos, and the cultural richness of the Tharu community, Bardiya exemplifies Nepal’s unique blend of nature and heritage.

The Heart of Nepalese Hospitality

Guided by the ethos of “Atithi Devo Bhava” (Guest is God), Nepal offers heartfelt hospitality. From trekking through Himalayan villages to participating in local festivals, every visitor becomes part of Nepal’s rich cultural fabric, experiencing warmth, unity, and celebration.
