Nepal is a small country located in South Asia, sandwiched between India and China. It’s home to some of the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest. The country’s geography is diverse, with the Himalayas in the north, the Terai in the south, and the hills in between. This diversity in geography has led to a diversity in flora and fauna, and the country is home to many rare and endangered species. The country is also home to many ancient temples and monasteries, which are a testament to its rich cultural heritage.
