Giant Hornbills, King Cobras, Golden Emperor Butterflies, One Horned Rhinoceroses, Asian Elephants, Impeyan Pheasants, Snow Leopards, Red Pandas-are just only a few representatives among the tremendous number of species inhabiting this small Himalayan Kingdom. Although Nepal is a developing nation, its natural inheritance seems a 'Jewel Box', containing ruby Rhododendron inflorescence, emerald sub tropical jungles and the crystal Himalayas.

Nepal occupies only 0.09 per cent of the world's land surface area, but is known to comprise 2.7 % of globally recorded flowering plants, 5.1 % of gymnosperms and so forth, similarly, 4.5 % of mammals, 9.3 % of birds, 1.6 % of reptiles and 2.6 % of butterflies.
This small country is located at the border between the Palearctic and Oriental regions (realms) as well as crossroads of six floristic provinces of Asia, and possesses an amazingly great geographic, climatic and cultural variation. Its diverse terrin, with more than 8,000 meters of the world's greatest elevation gap, extended from Terai lowlands (60m) to Mt. Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest, 8,848 m) fosters a remarkably rich biodiversity and a specialized ecosystem, which undoubtedly affords the great natural wealth and beauty to this petit but attractive nation, Nepal.
