Nepal….Land of the world’s tallest mountains and the deepest jungles, sits on the shoulder of India’s north-eastern borders. To the East and North of Nepal are its Himalayan sisters, Bhutan and Tibet. Nepal is home to timeless religions, cultures, and traditions, colorful fiestas and festivals, ancient temples and monasteries, and always…friendly, smiling people who truly follow the age old saying; Athiti Devo Bhava”….Guests Are Our Gods
Nepal was partially closed to foreigners until the 1960’s when it gradually opened for tourism. In the year 1990, the country was declared a multi-party democracy. Until then, Nepal was ruled by a succession of kings and Prime Ministers from the Shah and Rana Dynasties. In 2008, the monarchy was officially abolished. Currently, there is a multi-party democratic Republic system in place with a Prime Minister and President as heads of the country.
