Floral diversity

Nepal is suituted in very high level but some places is suituted in very low level.It's vegetation is largely determined by altitude can be conveniently grouped into three main divisions. The lowlands include the Terai, Churia and valleys up to about 1000 m; the midland extends roughly from 1000 - 3000 m and the Himalaya from 3000 to 5000 m. Conditions vary tremendously within these zones however; south facing slopes usually receives more moisture but also more sun in the lower reaches, while certain area that are less protected from the summer monsoon - notably Pokhara- are especially wet. In general, rainfall is higher in the east, and greater diversity of plants can be found there.
