Nepal is crowned by eight of the world's ten highest mountains. Its altitude ranges from near sea level to 8848 meters above it – the Mt. Everest. The wild variety produces an incredible range of ecosystems – from steamy jungles and terraced valleys, to forested hills, frozen peaks and elevated mountain deserts.
The Himalayas contain a wider range of vegetation within a smaller area than possibly anywhere else in the world. Over 6500 species of flowering plants appear in Nepal. |
