Regional Background

Nepal is a small country packed between two giant countries China and India. Culturally and religiously, it has been a very peaceful country until recently it has broken this tradition and turned to an awful political unrest.   Despite everything, Nepal remains a land of spirituality. The cultural and linguistic diversity in Nepal adds to our beauty, thus making every other community an interesting and different place. The countless number of temples and monasteries that one can see here works as a center of faith for all the people and is what keeps the unity of the people intact. The two largest religions of Nepal Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal share a special relationship keeping away any threat of religious tension between these two. The Lord Buddha, a peace messenger born in the southern part of Nepal took birth in a Hindu family.
