The people of Nepal can always be seen to be smiling. Nepal is a deeply religious country, as you will see in their temples, monasteries and buildings. The fertile, mountain sheltered Kathmandu Valley is the historic heart of Nepal, where the Himalaya's most sophisticated kingdoms rose and fell and where Nepali art and culture were developed and refined. In many ways the Kathmandu Valley is Nepal.
