Nepal combines Himalayan highlands with subtropical plains in a way that reflects its position between India and China. The country is defined by the Himalaya, including Mount Everest on its northern frontier, while the Terai stretches across the south along the Indian border. The Kathmandu Valley brings together the capital, Kathmandu, and historic cities such as Patan and Bhaktapur, where Newar artistic traditions are visible in temples, courtyards and woodcarving. Lumbini, in southern Nepal, is revered as the birthplace of the Buddha. Trekking routes, river valleys and busy market towns reveal how sharply terrain and daily life can change over short distances.
