Nepal being a land of topographical diversities criss-crossed by high mountains and turbulent rivers evolved a mosaic of diverse ethnic groups with their own individual & distinct culture & economy. Ours is an anthropological garden where diverse race, clans, tribes and indigenous people bloom in the not-to-be-found elsewhere Himalayan atmosphere. They live in the open plains, green hills and rocky mountains with perennial snow. Its varied, most exotic and unparalled physical and natural settings have immensely added to the cultural attributes of her people. Rising gently from the sea level to the highest peak on earth, possessing tropical to arctic climate and vegetation and inhabiting more than 36 ethnic groups speaking over 70 languages, Nepal really stands naturally, geographically & culturally unique in the world.
