Study Abroad Programs in Nepal

Nepal is located in Northeast Asia and is bordered by China to the north and India on the west, south and east. The country is broken into three main regions: the Himalayan, mid hill region, and Terai region.

The Himalayan mountains, meaning “abode of snow”, are home to several of the world’s tallest peaks including the tallest of them all Mount Everest. One look and it is easy to see why thousands of visitors and climbers flock to them each year. They are stunning and provide a backdrop for the whole country stretching along the northern border.

Climate varies greatly depending on location since the nation’s geographical features range from snow covered peaks that reach for the sky to sea level tropical valleys. The range in elevation is huge. In the northern peaks, temperatures are extreme with hot summers and freezing winters but the south has a subtropical climate offering warmth, heavy rains and lots of sunshine.
