Flora and Fauna
Nowhere else in the world does the landscape change so greatly over so short a distance as in Nepal, from the mountain areas of the Himalaya, down through lush valleys and into the tropical plains of south. �the flora and fauna much of it indigenous, is remarkably diverse for such a small area (95). Eleven of the World’s 15 families of butterflies are represented in Nepal and 614 species have been identified. Nepal’s National Park in Terai is habitat for endangered species like Bengal Tiger, Great One-Horned Rhino, Gaur; whereas the Himalayan National Parks are the habitat for Musk Deer, Snow Leopard, Red Panda and more.
