The Kingdom of Nepal is blessed with the most awe inspiring gift of nature anywhere in the world. It is home to the mighty Himalayas, which mean's "abode of snows" in Sanskrit. These mountains are the root of thousand's of years of Nepali culture. They intimidate us with their overwhelming size and humble us with their apparent immortality.
They are home to 8 of the 10 highest mountains in the world including the highest of them all Mt. Everest. Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha as the Nepali's call it) rises to the top of the Himalayas at 29,028 ft.
