One of the most fascinating nations in Asia, both for its morphology and for its architectures. Here there are the tallest mountains of the world, among which its majesty the Everest, to whose feet there are imposing valleys and splendid terraced rice-fields. And anywhere, but especially in the magnificent valley of Kathmandu, city and religious complexes rise with them fantastic architecture and magic atmosphere as the same capital as Patan as Bhadgaon, or as the stupas and the monastic centers of Swayambunath, Bodnath and Pashupatinath on the shores of the sacred river Bagmati.
