The nation is blessed with incredible floral and faunal diversity because of great variation in its altitude (60m from sea level to 8848m), and variation in geography (from lowlands of Terai plain to the gigantic Himalayas in the north), resulting in at least five distinct climatic zones. Nepal stands unrivaled in this aspect in the world, since this variation is compacted within the breadth of 193 km and a total length of 885km.
Nepalese society is unusually diverse with numerous cultures and languages spoken by people belonging to different castes, tribes and ethnic groups. So get prepared for a real cultural shock as you visit Nepal. With every village and settlement you pass through, you are likely to get different culture and customs. Historically it has become a bridge between the Aryan Hindus and the Buddhists, and a melting pot of the Aryan, Tibeto-Mongoloid and Indo-Mongoloid races.
