Answer 4

Temperature of Nepal is not very hot or cold... it is varied.

Nepal can be divided into three parts, east to west, geographically. Southern part is bordered to India. It is terain region and indeed very hot. Example of Terain cities are, Mahendra nagar, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, Bhairahawa, Butwal, Birgunj, Kalaiya, Janakpur, Biratnagar etc.

Middle part is hilly region where temperature is moderate. Eg., Kathmandu, Hetauda, Surkhet, Dang, Ilam, etc.

Upper most part or the Northern part is Himalaya region which is very cold. Everest, having its base camp at Namche Bazar (again a himalayan region) lies in this region. This part is more than 4000 mts. in altitude and is very cold. Not only on top of Mounth Everest (Sagarmatha in Nepali) but there are snows after you reach Himalayan region.
