Nepal, a soaring republic intertwined with the Himalaya, boasts eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains, drawing those captivated by the magnetic allure of rarefied peaks.

Bordered by China and the Indian state of Sikkim, this mythical country is believed to have emerged from the Indus Valley Civilization (3300 – 1300 BC), expanding into the Kathmandu Valley. Small medieval kingdoms flourished, and successive empires vied for control over Nepal’s principalities amidst the vital trade of the ancient Salt Route. Today, Kathmandu, the capital, remains vibrant with colorful markets offering exotic handcrafts, spices, jewelry, and textiles of the finest quality.

Nepal’s rich cultures are a convergence of 125 distinct ethnic groups, each contributing to a rich tapestry of art, craft, folklore, religion, and festivals. While Hinduism predominates, Tibetan Buddhism also holds significant sway, particularly among the Sherpa people in Nepal’s mountainous regions—and as the birthplace of Lord Buddha.
