NEPAL
Nepal is a small, mountainous kingdom 550 miles long by 90 to 150 miles wide with
a population of around 18 million people. Roughly rectangular in shape, the country
follows the line of the Himalayas from southeast to northwest. India
that makes it one of the few landlocked countries in the world borders Nepal on
the north by the Tibetan Autonomous region of China and on the east, south and
west. Nepal is divided into 14 zones that are further divided into 75 development
districts. The official language is Nepali and the currency is Nepalese Rupee.
Nepal calls itself the world's only Hindu Kingdom. Nearly 90 % of the population
claims to be Hindu though in Nepal there is only a very thin line between Hinduism
and Buddhism. Overlaying both these religions is the practice of Tantrism. Tantrism
is a set of prescribed formulas to understand the percepts such as meditation,
yoga and magic formulas to understand the interconnectedness of spiritual and
physical existence.
