Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia. It borders the People’s Republic of China to the north and India to the east, south and west.

To the north and east lies a large part of the Himalayan Mountains, including Mount Everest, whose summit is the highest point on earth at 8848 meters, and seven other of the ten highest mountains on earth. The lowest point, on the other hand, is 70 meters at Kencha Kalan in southern Nepal. Nevertheless, Nepal is the highest country in the world on average after Tibet, with over 40% of the country above 3000 meters.
