nepal

The Kingdom of Nepal, situated in the Himalaya, is the world's only Hindu kingdom. It is in South Asia, sharing borders with China (Tibet Autonomous Region) and India.
----------------------------------------
Nepal is landlocked between China and India; total land area 147,181 km² (56,827 mi²). The terrain is mountainous and hilly, although with physical diversity. Three broad physiographic areas run laterally — lowland Terai Region in the south; central lower mountains and hills constituting the Hill Region; the high Himalaya, with 8,850-metre (29,035-foot) high Mount Everest and other peaks forming Mountain Region in north. Of Nepal's total land area, only 20 percent is cultivatable. Deforestation is a severe problem.

Sagarmatha (also known as Mt. Everest in English and Chomolongma in Tibetan), the highest mountain in the world, straddles the Nepal - China border. The vista and majesty of Sagarmatha and the Himalayan range, including eight of the world's top ten peaks, (the eight-thousanders (mountains over 8,000 metres), are major tourist attractions and are cited as wonders of the natural world.

We are all going to Nepal in the Summer.
