Nepal forms the very watershed of Asia, Landlocked
between India and Tibet, it spans terrain from subtropical jungle to
the icy Himalaya, and contains or shares eight of the world's ten
highest mountains. Its cultural landscape is every bit as diverse: a
dozen major ethnic groups, speaking as many as fifty languages and
dialects, coexist in this narrow, jumbled buffer state, while two of
the world's great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, overlap and
mingle with older tribal traditions-yet it's a testimony to the
Nepalese' tolerance and good humor that there is no tradition of
ethnic or religious strife.
Founded on trans-Himalayan trade, its dense medieval cities display
a unique pagoda-style architecture, not to mention an astounding
flair for festivals and pageantry. But, above all Nepal is a nation
of unaffected villages terraced hillside-more than eighty percent of
the population lives off the land-and whether you're trekking,
biking or bouncing around in packed buses, sampling this simple
lifestyle is perhaps the greatest pleasure of all. |
