Nepal Holidays

Nepal is a developing country with extensive tourist facilities, which vary widely in quality and price. The capital is Kathmandu. Nepal ended a ten-year Maoist insurgency in November 2006 and established an interim government in January 2007. Since

that time, the major political parties have been unable to come to an agreement on a new constitution. This stalemate has created an environment of politicaluncertainty, however a caretaker government is in place and the major political parties continue to negotiate to resolve this constitutional crisis. Read the Department of State Fact Sheet on Nepal for additional information. Nepal is a small Himalayan Kingdom in South Asia. The highest peak of the
world, Mount Everest, lies in the country. It is a landlocked country with India to the
east, west and south, and the Tibetan Region of People's Republic of China in the
north. Kathmandu is the capital city. The total area of the country is 147,181 sq. km.,
with 885 km across the country (east to west) and 193 km. from north to south. The
country is situated between 80�04' and 88� 12' east, and 26� 22' and 30�27' north,
along with the southern slopes of the Himalayas (CBS, 2002:1). The climate varies
sharply with altitude, from arctic to humid sub-tropic. The availability of different
climates offers perspective for production of a variety of agricultural crops.

Ecologically, the country is divided into three broad regions: the mountains, Hills
and the Terai (a flat strip of land in the south), constituting 35, 42 and 23 per cent of
the total land area respectively. The total population is 23.4 million, with an annual
growth rate of 2.25 per cent. The population density is high, at about 600 persons per
km. of arable land. The total urban population is about 3.3 million (CBS, op.cit: 12-14).

The urban population growth rate is 4.4 per cent, whereas the rural growth rate
is 2.1 per cent. The urban population of the country is growing rapidly. However, this
growth is uneven since Kathmandu, Pokhara and some of the small towns along the
east-west highway are growing at rates of between 6 and 8 per cent per annum.
Several major factors have contributed to the rapid urbanization, such as high
natural increase (ranging from 2.6 to 3.0 per cent per annum in the last four
decades), high levels of rural to urban migration, extension of municipal boundaries,
and the designation of new municipalities (ADB, 2000).

Socio-culturally, Nepal is a multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-
cultural country. Nepali is constitutionally recognized as the official language. Hindus
(80.6 per cent) and Buddhist (10.7 per cent) are the two predominant religious
groups, followed by Muslims, Jains and Christians.
