| Description: |
Where else on Earth could you travel 100 km and go from just above sea level to the top of the worlds’ highest mountain? Here you can do just that. The flood plains of the Terai, on Nepal’s southern border, are at an elevation of only 150 meters above sea level while a mere 100 km to the north, straddling the Nepal/Tibet border, is the 8848 meters high bulk of Mount Everest. Not unexpectedly, the landforms, flora and fauna of this region are unique. The steamy jungle, with its’ luxuriant vegetation, to the south is home to rhinoceros, elephants, tigers along with numerous smaller animals and a myriad of birds of all colours and sizes. Heading north, across the foothills, the jungle gives way to forests of pine, fir and rhododendron. |
