| Mountains
in Nepal |
Nepal is the home of mountains. The awe-inspiring,
majestic mountains of Nepal attract the tourists
from far and wide. Mount Everest, the world's
highest peak, juts out in north eastern region
of the country, on the Sino-Nepalese border.
It seems competing with other mighty mountains.
Adventure activities like mountaineering, trekking
and hiking can be enjoyed in this mountain range.
Journey on these mountains transends one to
an entirely different world. Mountain biking
is also a popular game in this region
