Nepal is rich in culture and beauty in nature, making it an ideal journey for visitors who really want to discover. The valley’s pleasant climate and safety from floods and other natural disasters, complemented by the fertile soil, attracted invaders to conquer and settle here. Various mighty dynasties ruled Nepal through many centuries and brought together diverse cultures and religions that thrive to this day. Nepal is divided into three layers, according to its geographical settings: the Himalayan region, the Mid-Hills, and the Madesh (Tarai) region, which is flat plains.
The Himalayan region is the home of the legendary Sherpas, who are renowned for climbing Mt. Everest and many other high peaks. One of the first mountaineers to climb Mt. Everest was Tenzing Norgay, along with Edmund Hillary. Sherpas follow Tibetan Buddhism, the ancient school of religion; they are friendly in nature and share part of the culture of Tibet. People trek to the northernmost region of Nepal to see the rich mix of culture, tradition, lifestyle, and historical places. The hilly areas of Nepal are populated by many hill tribes of Nepal, like Gurung, Magar, Rai, Limbu, Tamang, Chettris, Brahmins, Newars, etc. Before the unification of modern Nepal, Gurungs, Rais, and Magars had their independent countries and still have their independent culture, manner of practicing religion, language, cuisine, music and dance, and their architectural settlement is distinctly different.
In Kathmandu Valley, Newars, being the indigenous people, are rich in metal works, arts, crafts, and building palaces and temples. Chettries and Brahmins are Hindus by religion, and historians state they are ancient settlers of the Karnali region of Nepal. They have carried their cultural values with them wherever they settled. Tarai is the home of Tharu tribes and of Madhesi people. They have distinctive cultures and lifestyles, though their social life is influenced by Aryan culture and Hindu religion. Being a hot province of Nepal, people of the Terai region wear light, cotton clothes, but they work hard during the day.
So, we highly recommend it to our guests from all over the world, who are genuinely interested to know more about culture, nature, tradition, and architecture; Nepal is the best and a paradise to visit.
