However, Nepal on its own is also a great and beautiful nation that has its own identity, heritage and beliefs with which it was became of the world’s most tourist friendly destinations.

So, as the topic of this blog highlights, I am going to be talking about ‘Wonders of Nepal’.

Everest which is the world’s highest mountain with a high elevation of 8,848 meters above sea level is a major attraction for people around the world.
