Nepal lies between India and China, along the southern slopes of the Himalayas and is home to Mount Everest and the world's highest mountains. Nepal is also associated with Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, who was born at Lumbini in present-day southern Nepal around the 5th or 6th century BC.
The 2015 Constitution established Nepal as a federal democratic republic, with a federal government, seven provinces, and 753 local governments. Nepal has a population of about 30 million, and the capital is Kathmandu
The official language is Nepali. 81% of the population are Hindu, 8% Buddhist, 5% Muslim, 3% Kirat, and 2% are Christian
We visited Nepal in Oct 2006.
These pictures are from our old website, and the quality is pretty bad. Sorry.

Bikes, cars, and people - all on the same sidewalk
Kathmandu has ancient history at every corner
There were these little restaurants everywhere

I have quite a few pictures from Nepal. The file size and quality are very poor, but I don’t want to forget this trip. I have divided the pictures into three groups: city streets, temples, and mountains. The city scenes are mainly Kathmandu, but we did visit several other towns and cities during this trip.
