With an area of 147,181 square Kilometers (56,827 sq mile) and a population of approximately 30.89 million [2023 AD], Nepal is the world’s 93rd largest country by land mass and the 49^th most populous country.

Nepal is of roughly trapezoidal shape, 800 kilometres (500 mile) long and 200 kilometres (125 mile) wide in average. See List of territories by size for the comparative size of Nepal. Nepal is commonly divided into three physiographic areas: the Mountain, Hill, Siwalik region and Terai Regions. These ecological belts run east-west and are vertically intersected by Nepal’s major, north to south flowing river systems. The southern lowland plains or Terai bordering India are part of the northern rim of the Indo-Gangetic plains. They were formed and are fed by three major rivers: the Koshi, the Narayani, and the Karnali. This region has a subtropical to tropical climate.

Climate from June to August the monsoon time and only city to city based tour we recommend. The post-monsoon period from September to November is considered best time in Nepal. It will be clean air and excellent mountain views can be seen. Days are warm and sunny, although nights become increasingly cool. Winter time from December to February is dry and clear with temperatures dropping below freezing especially at high altitudes places, although in Kathmandu,Pokhara,Chitwan and Lumbini it can still sometimes reach a pleasant 25C. Spring (March to May) is warmer and considered second high season for tour is a particularly beautiful time to visit as the rhododendrons and the orchids are in flower.

Kathmandu Valley comprises the three ancient cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, which were once independent states ruled by the Malla kings from the 12th to the 18th centuries. The three cities house seven UNESCO World Heritage shrines which are together listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Culture). The valley is also home to hundreds of other exquisite monuments, sculptures, artistic temples and magnificent art – reminders of the golden era in Nepal’s architecture.

Legend has it that the valley was once a primordial lake ringed by verdant mountains. In this pristine lake lived giant serpents until one fine day, saint Manjushree, the Bodhisatva, raised a mighty sword and in one fell swoop, cut open the side of a mountain at a place now known as Chobar. The voluminous water of the lake gushed out, leaving behind a fertile valley capable of supporting large urban settlements over the millennia. The Gopala and Kirati dynasties were the earliest rulers here followed by the Licchavi (300-879 A.D.), under whom flourished trade and crafts.
