The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, its rich cultural heritage and its friendly people. A small country wedged between India and China, it contains 8 of the worlds 10 highest peaks, including Mount Everest. It is the worlds only official Hindu state and is dotted with both Hindu and Buddhist temples and sites of pilgrimage.
