Home of the renowned Gurkha warriors and Sherpa mountain guides, Nepal is the highest land in the world. A nation of vertical perspectives that boasts the mightiest mountains in the world, it is home to the world's highest, 8,848-meter (29,028-foot)-high Mount Everest, and 7 more of the 14 mountains above 8,000 meters (26,240 feet). Much of the land is remote and seemingly inaccessible - enchanted valleys tucked away between these great mountains - but Traveler's Nepal Companion takes travelers and readers on a truly remarkable journey to the farthest corners of this magical land. With whole sections devoted to the best places and experiences Nepal has to offer, Traveler's Nepal Companion also gives intimate details about the country's fascinating cultures and flora and fauna, as well as information on classic high-altitude treks and other adventures.
