10. Miscellaneous

We all knew a lot about Nepal from above. But it is still less. When we see it with our real eyes, it would count nothing. Nepal is a country of Peace and Love, where Lord Buddha took his holy birth and proposed his Nirvanas. The holy place Lumbini is the real birth place of Siddhartha Gautam (Lord Buddha) where we can feel the perfect salvation and peace. And one of the interesting is that, Nepal has got a vast difference in climate and vegetation in every 15 kilometers of distance. Nepal's got a very favorable climate and weather. I probably guess that anyone from any part of the world can stay very easily for all the 12 months with every change in climate. It is the best point for all the tourists who want to visit this country having blessings of gods, beauty of nature, ancient mind-blowing architecture, cultures and heritages and people with humanity and hospitality. 2011 was the tourism year for Nepal. So I would like to suggest you all to have a visit to this small state with large features although this year 2011 is waving good-bye to us.

9. Citizens in here

Nepal is an under-developed country. But being under-developed also, citizens living in here are very helpful. Most of the People are with great heats with humanity and hospitality. Nepal is an agricultural country; approximately 65% of Nepalese citizens are involved in agricultural production i.e. animal husbandry, farming, horticulture, etc. They do not have the greed in others property or money. They just want to have their living with their hard work and labour. They do not want to cheat and fraud others. Nepal has got citizens both Mongolians and Aryans at most. People with Mongolian tribes are found mostly in the Himalayan (northern region) of the country. And the Aryans are mostly found in both the hilly and terai parts.

Similarly, Nepalese has no discrimination among the religions. People with all the religion are found in here and they live in perfect harmony among each-other sharing love and affection among one-another back to back in both joy and sorrows. So, Nepal is an exaplinary country for  the nature and co-ordination of people residing here.
