Nepal is a country located on the subduction zone of the Indian lithospheric plate that penetrates under the Chinese plate. This collision is the cause of the world’s highest mountain range, the Himalayas.

This uniqueness explains Nepal’s great geographical diversity. Indeed, Nepal is made up of plains, hills, high and very high mountains. Thus, Nepal is accessible to any visitor, whether young or old, mountain or not, sporty or not. The trek, in other words hiking, does not necessarily rhyme with high altitudes. In this sense routes of several days or weeks can be organized in low altitudes. It varies from a few hundred meters or around 2000 meters in inhabited areas.

The average altitude of the Teai is 100 metres above sea level. The Teai is the Great Southern Plain, wich means the Nepalese side of the Ganges Plain. On the other hand, the north is made up of the high peaks that make Nepal a unique country. Of the 14 peaks of more than 8,000 meters of altitude on planet Earth, 10 are located in Nepal.

Nepal has many reserves of several hundred square kilometres where flora and fauna are highly protected. Some are located in the southern plain and are not without exhaling the scents of Rudyard Kipling’s Book of the Jungle. For exaple, Chitwan is the closest to Kathmandu. But it should not obscure other fascinating and much less frequented reserves such as Bardihya or Sukla Phanta in the far west.
