Nepal
Nepal is home to eight of the world's ten highest peaks, including Everest, and draws trekkers and pilgrims to a landscape that shifts from steamy lowland jungle to the roof of the world within a single day's travel. Kathmandu's ancient temple squares and the warmth of its mountain communities add deep cultural richness to the dramatic scenery.
