Nepal
Nepal, birthplace of the Buddha, roof of the world, land of the legend, beauty-within it’s narrow confines contains an amazing range of culture and physical environment, presenting one with an abundance of contrasts and experiences. From the vast sweep of the Himalayan peaks in the north to the subtropical expanse of open country side and wild jungles to the south, squares brimming with fairy tale temple and palaces to the timeless remote and untouched villages. It is an open invitation to gain precious insight into a fast disappearing world and embark on truly life enhanced journeys of discovery.
Being at that confluence, the intruding of culture icons cannot be better showcased where it would be difficult to distinguish between what is northern Tibetan and southern Indian. Its where Buddhism and Hinduism have influenced and to a high degree. Thus if you asked a Nepali his religious he may reply Hindu but a Buddhist too. The greatest binding factor across the Himalayan valleys has been this spiritual mix stirred by rituals. Both thoughts stem from a series of beautiful spiritual streams composed over long periods of time, the earliest around 700 B.C., the latest around the late medieval. By their spirituality, the Upanishads, unlike the Vedas, where more concerned with practice than mere devotion.
