yeh,

Nepal is the country where (Gautam) Buddha was born 2550+ years ago.
It is a beautiful country with lots of high mountains; we have 8 out
of 14 tallest mountain of the world.And because there are numerous
isolated vallies and its remoteness Nepal has very diverse culture and
there are over 60 local languages (not dialects) in the country.

However, we are facing serious political and therefore security crisis
in country. Daily life have been seriously hampered in the country.
you can check some of the common website of nepal for the news

www.nepalitimes.com

I will try to post some my experiences/observation and photoes and
share in group in coming days. By the way, have anyone in this group
visited Nepal ??

with best regards
Prakash
Kathmandu, NEPAL
