Om landet och staden
Nepal is a mountainous country in South Asia, sandwiched between India and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is home to Mount Everest and eight of the world's fourteen 8,000-metre peaks, making it the capital of high-altitude trekking and mountaineering. The Kathmandu Valley with its three royal cities (Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur) preserves a UNESCO-listed treasury of Malla-era temples and crafts, while the Terai national parks such as Chitwan are known for rhino- and tiger-watching safaris.
