The Kingdom of Nepal, a small landlocked nation in the eastern Himalaya Mountains of South Central Asia, is sandwiched between India and China.

Though much of Nepal is mountainous - Mt Everest (known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolongma in Tibetan), the highest mountain in the world, straddles the border with China -, Nepal's climate ranges from subtropical in the south to severe winters in the north.

Nepal is constitutionally a Hindu kingdom with long standing legal provisions prohibiting discrimination.

Hinduism, with a worldwide following of 1 billion people, is a combination of religious beliefs, rites, customs, and daily practices, based on the Veda (Sanskrit root verb vid, ‘to know’) scripture. The origins of Hinduism are estimated from 3100 BCE to 1300 BCE in the Indian subcontinent; the name ‘Hindu’ derives from the Sindhu (Indus) river, which is known as ‘Hindu’ in Persian. The Hindi language is rooted in Sanskrit, the oldest of the Indo-Aryan languages.

The basic beliefs in Hinduism are Dharma (natural principles), Reincarnation (rebirth), Karma (cause and effect relationship), and Moksha (liberation from earthly matters) for every soul through moral, action-based, and meditative yogas (yoking to God).

A sadhu is a common term for a renounced ascetic who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: kama (pleasure), artha (wealth and power) and even dharma (duty).

A stupa is a symbol of the mind of the buddhas.
