The country is in prevalence mountainous, Nepali territory presnt to the south, along the border with India, a flat area, part of the plain of the Ganges, the Terai plains, rich in vegetation, alternating with marshes and swamps, where the three main rivers of the country Kosi, Narayani, and Karnali flowing. Besides this narrow flat area, we find the Pahad region, where rise the chains of Mahabharat Lekh and Shiwalik Range (Churia Range), the first Himalayan buttresses, which reach heights between 1000 and 2800 metres, this area has some intensely populated valleys, such as that of the capital, Kathmandu. Towards the north along the border with China rises the highest mountain on the planet, the Himalayas, that in Nepal shows the most high side of the Himalayan system with as many as eight of the fourteen peaks of the Earth exceeding 8,000 meters, among them, along the border with China, the highest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest (Nepal-China, 8848 meters). The other peaks of Nepal exceeding the 8,000 metres are: Kangchenjunga (third mountain on the planet, Nepal-India, 8586 m), Lhotse (fourth mountain on the planet, Nepal-China, 8516 meters), Makalu (fifth mountain on the planet, China-Nepal, 8485 (8462) meters), Cho Oyu (sixth mountain on the planet, China-Nepal, 8188 (8201) m), Dhaulagiri (seventh mountain on the planet, Nepal, 8 167 m), Manaslu (eighth mountain on the planet, Nepal, 8163 meters) and Annapurna (tenth mountain on the planet, Nepal, 8091 meters). The Nepali economy is poor, based on (rice, wheat, corn, barley, sugar cane, potatoes, tobacco, jute), farming (cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep, pigs, yak, poultry) and forest exploitation (timber). The few industrial activities present are related to the food, textiles, ceramics, and processing of agricultural products.
