Nepal in Depth: 15 Days of Discovery from Peaks to Pagodas

Nepal, nestled in the heart of South Asia, is a land of extraordinary natural beauty and deep spiritual heritage. Bordered by China to the north and surrounded on three sides by India, this landlocked country stretches across 147,181 square kilometers and is home to nearly 30 million people. Its vibrant capital, Kathmandu, serves as both the cultural and political heart of the nation.

Renowned for its dramatic geography, Nepal boasts some of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. The towering Himalayas dominate the north, where eight of the world’s ten highest peaks—including the majestic Mount Everest—rise to touch the sky. Over 240 peaks soar above 6,000 meters (20,000 feet), making Nepal a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers alike. In contrast, the southern lowlands offer fertile plains, lush vegetation, and bustling urban centers.

Culturally, Nepal is a harmonious blend of ancient traditions and living faiths. It is the only Hindu kingdom that transitioned into a federal republic, and Hinduism remains the dominant religion. Yet, Nepal also holds immense significance for Buddhism—being the birthplace of Lord Buddha—and many locals honor both faiths interchangeably through daily rituals, festivals, and temple visits.

This journey through Nepal offers more than just scenic beauty—it’s an invitation to explore sacred temples, medieval cities, majestic mountain views, and warm, hospitable communities. Whether you're drawn by spirituality, history, culture, or nature, Nepal promises an unforgettable experience at every turn.
