What kind of country is Nepal?

Nepal, located at the southern foot of the Himalayas, is a country dominated by mountains. From north to south, the topography and climate of this country are undergoing great changes. Nepal, this is a magical country.

Change the terrain.

The altitude in Nepal drops sharply from north to south. Nepal's terrain can be roughly divided into three major terrain areas. In the north is the high Himalayas. There are 14 peaks over 8000 meters in the world, and Nepal accounts for 8. They are Mount Qomolangma, Mount Luozi, Mount Makaru and Mount Zhuoyou on the border between China and Nepal, and Zhangjiafeng, the third highest mountain in the world on the border between Nepal and Sikkim. There are three unique peaks in Nepal? Dalajiri Peak, Manaslu Peak, Annapurna Peak.

Central Nepal is a relatively gentle mountain range. The peak here is lower than the northern Himalayas, with the highest peak of 4877 meters.

The altitude in southern Nepal drops rapidly, mainly because of the plain terrain. This part of the terrain is flat, and the altitude in many places is lower than 100 meters. Chitwan National Park in Nepal is located in the south of Nepal.

Nepal starts from Mount Everest, which is 8844 meters above sea level on the border between China and Nepal, and reaches the border between Nepal and India, which is 8000 meters above sea level, with steep terrain and ups and downs.

A diverse climate.

Nepal's rapidly changing terrain determines that its climate is also very diverse.

Nepal has a monsoon climate on the whole. The south-central region has a tropical monsoon climate, with high temperature all year round and little rain in two seasons. The northern part has plateau and mountain climate, which is changeable.

The temperature in Nepal has changed a lot. It is very hot in the south all year round. Like the tropical monsoon climate in other regions, the hottest month in southern Nepal appears in May or June before the arrival of the monsoon, and the highest temperature is close to 40℃. In Leng Yue, the temperature in these places is rarely lower than 15℃.

The Nepalese city of Boccara has a tropical monsoon climate.

With the elevation rising in northern Nepal, the temperature is also changing. Geographically, it is generally believed that the temperature drops by 6℃ every time the altitude rises1000 m. In this way, when the altitude rises to about 5500 meters, the temperature can basically be kept below zero all the year round. In the Himalayas in northern Nepal, such as Mount Qomolangma, Mount Luozi and Mount Dalajiri, the peak temperature can drop to -60℃ in winter.

There are also differences in precipitation in Nepal. The southern region has a tropical monsoon climate, and its climate characteristics are similar to those of India. The precipitation is concentrated and heavy, and the annual precipitation is more than 1500mm. In the central region and the vicinity of the Himalayas, due to being blocked by high mountains, there is a lot of terrain precipitation, and the precipitation in some areas is greater than that in the south, which can reach more than 3000 mm. The precipitation near Anna Poorna can even exceed 5000mm. But after entering the Himalayas, the precipitation began to plummet. The summer monsoon can't cross the mountains above 6000 meters above sea level, forming a huge rain shadow area behind the snow-capped mountains. The precipitation in many places is less than 500 mm, and the precipitation in some places in Musitang area is even less than 100mm, just like Ali area in China, which is very dry.

The weather in the Himalayas in northern Nepal changes dramatically. In summer, it often rains cats and dogs on the south slope of the Snow Mountain. Heavy rain leads to frequent avalanches. In winter, the winter wind roared and the temperature on the top of the mountain plummeted. In a year, only April-May and September in autumn, 10 months can usher in rare good weather. This time is also the window period for most snow-capped mountains in Nepal to climb.

Rich tourism resources.

Nepal is rich in tourism resources. Kathmandu, the capital, has a history of over 200 years and many tourist attractions. Duba Square and Bodaha Pagoda are both very famous scenic spots.

It is about 14 1 km east of Kathmandu, and it is the second largest city in Nepal, Boccara. Boccara's most famous is the Anna Poorna Great Link. Anna Poorna Great Ring Road (ACT) is the world's top hiking route. It starts from Besishar, crosses Tuolongyakou at an altitude of 5416m, and finally reaches Boccara. On this hiking route, three unique 8000-level peaks in Nepal, Manaslu, Ana Poorna and Dhahragiri, will pass by. So Anna Poorna Great Ring Road is also called the most beautiful hiking route.
