Nepal

With a population of roughly 28.98 million, Nepal is a small landlocked nation sandwiched between China and India. Its area is 147,181 square kilometers. Though it is still an impoverished nation, Nepal is moving in the direction of more sustainable development, even though poverty and illiteracy are still major problems. Nepal is renowned for its diverse array of flora and wildlife, as well as its high biodiversity. The Terai, Hilly, and Himalayan subregions make up the three subregions that make up the nation. Trekking, hiking, and safaris are available in the Terai region, a low-lying, level territory in the southern part of the nation. One of Nepal's most well-known national parks, Chitwan National Park is situated in the Terai area and is home to a wide range of animals, including elephants, tigers, and rhinoceroses. The Himalayan Mountain range, which contains Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, dominates the landscape of Nepal. The Koshi, Gandaki, and Karnali rivers, among others, offer perfect circumstances for the development of hydroelectric plants in the nation. Despite having the capacity to produce 44,000 MW of hydroelectric electricity, Nepal only produces 600 MW at the moment from 20 large hydropower facilities as well as several smaller and micro hydropower facilities.

About 40% of people in Nepal do not have access to power, indicating a low level of electricity availability. In metropolitan regions, 90% of the population is electrified, compared to 5% in rural areas. With only slightly over 10,142 km of paved and 7,140 km of unpaved roads, as well as 15 out of 77 district headquarters not being connected by a road, Nepal's road system is undeveloped. The road system's inadequate development makes it difficult to get to stores, schools, and medical facilities. There are many different communities and cultures in Nepal. The majority of Nepalese people still rely on the land for their daily needs, and some still enter the jungle to seek firewood and building materials. In Nepal's rural lowlands, the majority of homes are constructed with a taut bamboo framework and walls composed of a mixture of mud and cow dung. These homes stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Higher elevations see the usage of stone masonry and slate roofing, whereas houses in the hills are typically built of unbaked brick with thatch or tile roofing. In summary, Nepal is a nation with a rich culture, a variety wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. The nation is striving for a sustainable growth route in spite of obstacles, and the potential of tourism offers optimism for the future. For any wildlife fan, a trip to Nepal is likely to be a remarkable experience.
