The way of life in the Himalaya is determined by the Himalayan topography, altitude, and climate, factors which quite substantially differ from region to region, plus, naturally, by the cultural diversity of the individual ethnic groups. According to the 2001 census, there are 103 different ethnic groups in Nepal speaking at least 93 different languages. Closer look at the variety of ethnic groups that populate this impressive mountain range reveals fascinating mix of architectural house styles. In terms of settlement characteristics, each of the Himalayan racial groups prefers its own altitude and peculiar habitat. No other part of the Himalayas is as rich in cultural and topographic diversity as Nepal. As a home staying visitors, this program is intended to provide you with the opportunity for exploring and experiencing aspects of these diversities around Kathmandu valley rim; which are as contrasting as they are captivating.
