Mountains In Nepal


Mountains in Nepal




Nepal contains part of the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. Eight of the fourteen above eight-thousands masl are located in the country, either in whole or shared across a border with Tibet or India.
Nepal is the home of mountains. The awe-inspiring, majestic mountains of Nepal attract the tourists from far and wide. Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, juts out in northeastern region of the country, on the Sino-Nepalese border. It seems competing with other mighty mountains. Adventure activities like mountaineering, trekking and hiking can be enjoyed in this mountain range. Journey on these mountains transends one to an entirely different world. Mountain biking is also a popular game in this region.
