Where is Nepal??
Nepal is in Southern Asia
region, between China andIndia.
As you can see in the map,
Nepal is a very tiny
country.
It is more less than half ofthe size of Japan.
It is 5000 kilometers awayfrom Japan! (quite faryeah? )Some more info about Nepal!
Nepal has a population of only 30 million
people. (Japan has about 126 million)
However, there are 129 DIFFERENTLANGUAGES spoken in Nepal!!!!
Some are only spoken by less than 100 people
and are specific to that ethnicity.
The main language in Nepal is called Nepali orNepalese.
Nepal has a very unique blend of different
cultures. (surprising for such a small countryright????)

RELIGION
Most people in Nepal are Hindu or Buddhist.
In Nepal, there are over 33,000,000 gods!
That’s more gods than people!!!
There’s a god for everything.

You can pray to the god ofwisdom while doing homework, or
the god of finishing projects when
doing chores.
This is Ganesha (the Elephant god).
He is a very kind god who loves eating!!

Nepal's FlagNepal has the only national flag inthe world that is not rectangular orsquare!
Flags in Nepal were often
triangular, so they kept thistradition in today’s modern flag.
Now, people say the shape
represents the mountains.

MOUNTAINSMOUNTAINSEVEREST!

Nepal is known for having the tallest
mountain in the world! Mount Everest is
29,029 feet (8,848 m). The average heightof a two story house in Japan is 6 metres.
You would have to stack more than 1,200
Japanese houses on top of each other toreach the height of Everest!!
