About Nepal

Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and as of 2010 the world's most recent nation to become a republic. It is boardered to the north by China, and to the south, east, west by India.Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city.

Nepal is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north has eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Sagarmatha, known in English as Mount Everest (8848 m). The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. It contains over 240 peaks more than 20,000 ft (6,096 metes) above sea level.

Nepal has five climatic zones, broadly corresponding to the altitudes. The tropical and subtropical zones lie below 1,200 metes (3,940 ft), the temperate zone 1,200 to 2,400 metes (3,900–7,875 ft), the cold zone 2,400 to 3,600 metes (7,875-11,800 ft), the subarctic zone 3,600 to 4,400 metes (11,800–14,400 ft), and the Arctic zone above 4,400 metes (14,400 ft).

Nepal experiences five seasons: summer, monsoon, autumnſ winter and spring. The Himalaya blocks cold winds from Central Asia in the winter and forms the northern limit of the monsoon wind patterns. In a land once thickly forested, deforestation is a major problem in all regions, with resulting erosion and degradation of ecosystems.
