Introduction to Nepal

General Information about Nepal:
Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from Sub-tropical to Arctic .

Talking about the climate of Nepal,
Nepal 's climate varies according to elevation. The Terai of southern Nepal has a tropical monsoon climate characterized by rainy summers and the southwest winds of the monsoon, and almost dry winters. The effect of the southern monsoon climate extends northward into mountain valleys. In the Middle Himalayan valleys the amount of precipitation varies with the extent of exposure to the rain-bearing monsoon winds. Several high valleys located in the rain shadow (area where precipitation is partially blocked by mountains) are dry. In the Kathmandu Valley the average rainfall is about 2,300 mm (about 90 in), most of which occurs from June to September. Between elevations of about 500 and 2,700 m (about 1,640 and 8,860 ft) there is a warm temperate climate; between about 2,700 and 3,000 m (about 8,860 and 9,840 ft) a cool temperate climate prevails. Between about 3,500 and 4,100 m (about 11,480 and 13,450 ft) summers are cool and winters are very cold. Above 4,100 m (about 13,450 ft) a severely cold, alpine climate prevail.

Nepal is Very rich in its culture and cultural Heritages.Culture varies with the caste and the way of living here. Here people of different castes have their different Festivals and the religion. We cant even count the number of festivals celebrated here. Many Tourists from different country visit here and enjoy themselves. Some of them get the golden chance to get involven in our culture too. The other think which people in all over the world know that the biggest monk and the Ideal person lord Gautam Buddha was born in Nepal. Lots of tourist visit Nepal and the birth place of Buddha.

Nepal has a great chance of Development in future. Due to the lack of Infrastructure and development the concerned person are not able to reach the mines and resources which are in such place where man can go with difficulty, all due to the geographical disorder. The other thing is also political disorder and government not councious and motivated on their duty. Innocent Nepalese are lacking behind due to those shameful things which government can’t manage for us Nepalese.

Nepal is Famous all over the world. The geographical proximity, Rich biodiversity, forest and the resources, etc. had reached Nepal at the destination of tourists and other project works that tourist and the professional people look forward. Nepal has a great chance to be highly developed in future. It has great chance for the prosperity and the development.

Himalayan:

Himalayan region has a cold climates all year. It is undeveloped among the two region due to lack of development in the Infrastructures and communication. The production produced here like potatoes, phapar, kodo, apple cannot be reached in the urban areas, so they don’t get good market. Jumla, which lies in the himalayan region is the remote district of Nepal and also the world we can say. But it has a great possibility of development in the future because the worlds largest himalaya lies here. Mount Everest (8848m) which is the worlds tallest peaks lies in the himalayan region of Nepal. Others like Langtang, Dhoulagiri, Ganesh, are all above 8000 m tall from the sea level.most of the tourist vist here with so much difficulty. Nepal is famous due to the Himalayan Region as well.

Most people are backward here in all the aspects. Most of the children are lack of education. And other thing is that here is too much scarcity of foods and the daily items. Most Sherpas lived here and most of them follow the Buddhisms. Government if give some time to think about this area then it will have some future.
