About Nepal
Nepal
is a landlocked Himalayan country in South
Asia, bordered by China to the north and by
India to the south, east and west. Nepali
landscape is uncommonly diverse, ranging
from the humid plain area in the south to
the lofty Himalayas in the north. Nepal has
eight of the world's top ten highest peaks
with Mount Everest as the highest one Nepal
is famous for tourism and trekking.
Kathmandu is the capital and largest city.
Nepal experiences five seasons and zones:
summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring.
broadly corresponding to altitude.
The tropical and subtropical zones lie below
1,200 meters (3,940 ft), the temperate zone
1,200 to 2,400 meters (3,900?7,875 ft), the
cold zone 2,400 to 3,600 meters
(7,875?11,800 ft), the sub arctic zone 3,600
to 4,400 meters (11,800?14,400 ft), and the
arctic zone above 4,400 meters (14,400 ft).
Nepali culture is very similar to the
cultures of Tibet, and India, which borders
to the north and south. There are
similarities in clothing, language and food.
A typical Nepali meal is dal-bhat - boiled
dal served with rice and vegetables, and
some spicy relish.
Between these main meals, snacks such as
chiura (beaten rice) and tea are consumed.
Apart meat, eggs, and fish are considered a
treat. In the mountainous region the staple
diet are based on wheat, maize, millet and
potatoes. Culture of different ethnic groups
are rich in their own ways.
Houses in rural parts of Nepal are made up
of stones and clay. Most houses in rural
Nepal are made up of a tight bamboo
framework with mud and cow-dung walls. These
dwellings remain cool in summers and retain
warmth in the winter. Dwellings at higher
altitudes are mostly timber-based. Nowadays
we can see the cemented houses in the
cities.
