NEPAL,
lies between 80 degree 12' east longitude and 26 degree 22' and 30
degree  27'
north latitude. Climatically, it lies in the temperate zone with the
added advantage of altitude.The Himalayan Shangri La, may be small
in terms of size but you will find, compact within its small area,
a roaster of highest mountains of the world, a repertoire of enchanting
cultures and exquisite temples, dense tropical jungles holding the
treasure of wildlife, thundering rivers swollen by the snow of the
Himalayas and most of all, the friendliest people in the world.
Nepal is an incredibly diverse country with respect to culture
and language. There are 125 different documented languages spoken
in Nepal. The primary language of Nepal is Nepali which has been the
push of the King and government for about 50 years now. Up to about
50 years ago, each isolated area basically spoke their own language
and had there own customs. Since the launch of a national educational
program in Nepal in the 1950's, the majority (58.3%) of Nepali's speak
Nepali, but by no means is it consistent throughout the kingdom.
