Itinerary
Nepal
has been the dreamland of the tourists for a long time. Nepal invites, welcomes,
charms and bewilders the visitors. Those who have already visited Nepal
cherish the desire for a second visit and those who have heard or read about
the kingdom make a plan to visit the country. The pattern of religion gives
the country a unique status in the world. Almost all the important religious
sects of the world are found in Nepal, however, the majority of the population
believes in Hinduism and the conglomeration of the two religions, Hinduism
and Buddhism serve as an unique example of tolerance and brotherhood. Many
festivals of religious significance are celebrated commonly with equal enthusiasm
by both the sects and there is the co-existence of all the other religious.
