Nepal Himalaya
Nepal being the mountainous country has a great many Himalayan ranges. These Himalayan ranges form a great mountain system of Asia standing as a barrier between Tibetan Plateau to the north and alluvial plains of the Indian subcontinent to the south. The Himalayas of Nepal include more than one hundred and ten snowcapped peaks rising to elevations of 7,300 meteres or more above sea level. The highest mountain Mt. Everest, also known as Chomolungma in Tibetan, Qomolangma Feng in Chinese and Sagarmatha in Nepali is the world’s highest mountain with an elevation of 8848 m. The high summits of these mountains rise into the zone of unceasing snow.
The Himalayan ranges occupy most part of Nepal being extended into Sikkim in India and Tibet, the autonomous region of China. The Highest part of the Himalayan ranges, also called the great Himalayas, roughly follows the the Nepal-Tibet border holding many of the World's highest peaks such as Mt. Everest (8,848m), Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), Mt. Makalu (8,463 m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), and Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m). These perennial snowcapped mountains form huge glaciers, that creates a number of rivers. These rivers apart from their tributaries in their waydown flow southward through deep ravines and watershed between the Brahmaputra and the Ganges. The Great Himalayas stands as a climatic barrier between Indian lowland plains and the Tibetan high plateau. The uncultivated, uninhabitable highlands and the steep rocky banks of the trubulent rivers cause major difficulty to human travel. Nevertheless, there are a few passes at an elevation betweeen 5000m and 7000 m and river valleys allow human habitation, grazing and agriculture at an elevation of 5000m.
There are many places of interest in Nepal. Annapurna circuit has a diverse landscape covering the area from jungle to the alpine forest entails a 125 kilometers circumnavigation of the breathtaking Annapurna region. Fifty five percent out of 140000 trekkers, who visit Nepal trek to this region. Everest, and its base camp is another popular destination for the intrepid trekkers and climbers as they begin and end their ultimate mountain adventure, needs not much introduction, but deserves a lot of credit. Lukla, about an hour's flight from Kathmandu, is the exact gateway to Everest, but a moments of reflection standing breathlessly close to the mountain itself gives a kind of awe-inspiring experience. The Langtang Valley, another popular destination, offers alpine trekking that runs from east to west. The Langtang valley trek can be performed in about a week. This trek is a short and easily accessible trek. Nevertheless, it lacks highest peaks but offers much more such as amazing scenery of oaks and rhododendrons. Phakding, a small village, is situated in the Dudh Koshi river valley is a stop-off place while trekkers are en route Everest. Apart from other places, Phakding is a photographer’s dream where you will view Buddhist prayer wheels, Mani stones and rustling flags making the scenery more colourful. This region belongs to the northeastern side of Nepal which is accessible only by trekking. Similarly, none of the beautiful places like Thyangboche and Tengboche are beyond the access of the road network but there are many fascinating sites such as Tengboche monastery, the largest monastery or the Buddhist learning centre in the entire Everest region. The monastery, popularly known as the cultural hub of the Sherpas. This monastery not only preserves the social and cultural values of the Sherpa tribes but also holds a museum containing treasure of sacred and rare texts and artefacts of the Buddhists.
