Nepal

Nepal is a small landlocked country in South Asia, home to eight of the ten tallest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest (29,035ft / 8850m), the tallest mountain in the world. In fact, the Himalayan Region features 202 mountains rising over 19,685ft (6000m). Whilst mountains and rugged hills cover approximately 75% of the country, Nepal’s Tarai region (south) is a low-lying stretch of land, falling as low as 230ft (70m) at Kanchan Kalan.
