About Nepal
Nepal - a fairly large country, sandwiched between India and China. Nepal is situated on the slopes of the Himalayas, and natural areas of Nepal are dependent on the altitude - from the Terai (jungle swamp) on the south by the Indian border to the eternal snows on the six-thousand-altitude Himalayan mountain range. Over the Himalayas is Tibet, whose nature is similar to the Eastern Pamirs - flat alpine desert with a relatively low hills.The main population of Nepal is concentrated in the south - along the Indian border, where the warm, growing, well-developed road network. Western tourists are usually interested in mountain areas, where there are practically no roads, and on trails is not always possible to pass, and the population is very rare. Only a small part of Nepal opened to Western tourists, in many areas of entry is prohibited or requires special permission.
State religion in Nepal is Shaivism adopted by a majority of the population. In the suburbs of Kathmandu is the largest temple shivaistic Center Pashupatinat. Mountain people - mostly Buddhist Vajrayana.
According to the Nepalese caste system (which was formally abolished not so long ago) the higher castes are Brahmins (Bakhun) and Kshatriyas (chhettri). They mostly consist of Hindus who fled to the Middle Ages from the Muslim conquests. Buddhist nations belong to low castes. Foreigners (non-Hindus) belong to the caste of untouchables. They have their presence defiled the home, churches, food. Therefore, the higher castes (especially chhettri) talk with the Europeans reluctantly. Tourists are usually not allowed in shivaistskie temples. Entry to the European caste can not under any circumstances. Is that the children born from his marriage to Nepalese can enter a low caste.
In many respects probably on grounds of caste, Nepal - the country is closed. Visas are reluctant for a limited time, extension of visas for more than three months is extremely difficult, overstaying their visas are jailed and expelled from the country. Stay in Nepal for several years can only be in exceptional cases. On visits to many parts of the country require a special permit, and police everywhere checks for permits to stay. If you receive a visa from us demanded a written commitment not to stay in Nepal with the presentation of tickets back.
