The history of Nepal’s modern tourism industry dates back to 1953 when Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary successfully climbed Mt. Everest, the world’s highest peak. However, commercial tourism in Nepal technically began in 1955 after ‘Thomas Cook and Sons’ received special permission to organize tours for foreign tourists. Since then, Nepal’s tourism industry has flourished day by day. Over the last seven decades, the Nepalese tourism industry has taken significant steps to deliver quality services to tourists and promote country’s tourist destinations worldwide. However, most travel agencies have focused on offering standard packages with limited variation.

Nepal has ample opportunities in tourism. It boasts eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including Mt. Everest, the deepest gorge, the second richest water resource, and the third largest concentration of Royal Bengal Tigers, among many other natural wonders. Similarly, Nepal is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, known as the Light of Asia. The country possesses diverse cultures, geography, flora, and fauna. Interestingly, all the major ecosystems of the world are found within just 150 – 250 km in Nepal. Nepal’s mountains are among the youngest geological formations on Earth, having formed about 10 – 20 million years ago due to tectonic movement. For tourists, Nepal offers not only leisure activities but also opportunities for learning and conducting various research activities. There is no doubt that the majority of modern tourists are not only idle wanderers but also curious learners.
