IMAGES OF NEPAL
If you have never been to Nepal this photo gallery should give you a glimpse of the natural beauty, cultural heritage and soul of the people. If you have been to Nepal we hope that this gallery will temporarily transport you back to this amazing country.
The pictures in the gallery were primarily taken by Steve Conlon. He has been traveling to Nepal since 1972, and lived there for over five years. He is committed to, and actively involved in, the preservation of the traditional culture there. His knowledge of each corner of the country, and love for the Nepali people is reflected in the photos included in this gallery.
Enjoy!
