Nepal is a landlocked nation in South Asia, bordering India to the North India and to the South, East and West. Nepal also borders with People’s Republic of China (Tibet) to the North as well.

For a relatively small country, Nepal has a diverse landscape, ranging from the humid Terai plain lands in the south to the mountainous Himalayas in the north. Eight of the world’s top ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest, are in Nepal.
