Awe-inspiring snow-capped peaks

The capital city of Nepal is Kathmandu. With eight of the worlds ten highest peaks, Nepal is glittered with spectacular mountains vistas. Nepal is also home to endless amounts of wildlife, such as tigers, rhinoceros, monkeys, bears, yaks, leopards and a myriad of insects and birds, boasting almost 10 percent of the worlds bird species among which 500 species are found in the Kathmandu Valley. 

Nepal is the Himalayan gateway for mountain lovers. Some of the Himalaya's most accessible hiking offer here, from rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas, trekking Peaks like Island and Mera Peak and mountain biking tours and trails. Mountains, hills, valleys and plains dominate the landscape of Nepal that extends from the Himalayan range in the north to the Indo-Gangetic lowlands in the south, spanning about 147,181 sq.km. To the south, west and east, is India, and to the North, China. 

Kathmandu is often called the Gateway to the Himalayas and has a rich cultural history which dates back about two thousand years. Yet it is also the cosmopolitan heart of the Himalayan Region. Kathmandu is situated in central Nepal, in a large bowl shaped valley. The surrounding terrain plummets from steep inclines descending from the snow and ice capped Himalayas, to the hot flatland beneath. 

The city of Kathmandu was built by king Gun Kamdev in 723 A.D. It is said that Kathmandu was a lake in the past and was made habitable by Manjushree, who cut open the hill to south to allow the water to flow away. It is believed that the name is derived from the Sanskrit term Kastha-Mandap meaning the temple made of wood, an imposing pagoda near Hanuman Dhoka Palace. It was built in 1596 out of a single tree by King Laxmi Narashingha Malla.
