There is no use of bragging about Nepal in a small essay like this because that simply is not possible because the more you write about Nepal, the more ideas hit your brain. Nepal, no doubt, is a heaven for tourists with all it's cultural and natural heritages spread all over the holy land along with it's breathtaking scenarios of natural beauty that is luckily present everywhere in the country. Then ofcourse, the sheer joy in seeing all those beautiful, amiable faces welcoming you in your every step when you arrive at Nepal.


 Nepal can be your dreamland if you are deciding for a best summer holiday destination and you wish to escape from your daily life routines. Nepal, from my point of view, can be the perfect destination for anybody as it provides a wide range of facilities that are provided at low and affordable costs. It can also be your perfect destination, if you are an adventure lover or if you are a future biologist looking for some quality place to research. 


Come explore Nepal - a hub of cultural diversity, with a myriad of more than 100 castes within a small area of 147,181 sq. km. and a population of just 26 million. These castes have many sub-castles too, many with their own languages, diversified cultures, traditions and unique ways of living. The capital of the country, Kathmandu was once quoted to be the ‘city where there are more temples than houses.’ In some sense, it is true as it has the most number (7) of UNESCO world heritage sites within a small radius of 15 km. Everyone visiting Nepal gets astonished on hearing this.


Now, this country is basically divided into three geographical regions, namely, the Himalayan, the hilly and the Terai, each having their own diversifications in terms of culture, traditions and language.


A frequent visitor to Nepal will never forget the Thakali food or Tibetan tea or the simply awesome “Mo-Mo” dumplings. The unique tradition of respecting elders, treating guests as god and taking all citizens as brothers or sisters can hardly be found in other parts of the globe, except some. The Nepali people believe and treat every single guest as an avatar of god. So, every single person you happen to meet, from young smart juveniles to old grandpas, will greet you with their warmest of greetings, the most generous of the smiles and the most elated of their feelings. 


Nepal is also an open book for scientific researchers because of it's extreme biodiversity, including that of both flora and fauna. Well, it is said that more than 8% of the total birds of the world are found in this country. That’s something that you can never find in any other country of the world. There are many species of flora and fauna found in the country. The interesting fact is that some of the flora and fauna are strictly found in Nepal only, including the ‘Kaade Vyakur Chara (local name), Asala fish of Rara Lake, Jalkapur fish and others. 


In a nutshell, you can simply say that Nepal has something for everyone. While travelling past various houses, with it's people belonging to different beliefs and customs, sometimes it can feels like travelling to more than 100 countries in the world. The generosity flowing around the environment, the soothing air besides a river or lake, the simply awesome experience from standing above a very high hill and the very noisy, but ‘full of fun’ environment during festival times are some of the  best local experiences that awaits any first time travellers. 


All of this mentioned above actually keeps the tourism sector of this country satisfied and content, thereby assuring happiness on local guides and tour operators who in turn happily guide the tourists who come to Nepal. They really make sure people return with a happy face back to their home country with an interest to always come back for more Nepal adventures and trips.
