A landlocked country in South Asia, located mainly in the Himalaya mountains between India and China. It is known for its high peaks, including Mount Everest, and its rich mix of cultures and religions.
The origin of the name 'Nepal' is uncertain. Some theories link it to an ancient ruling dynasty called the 'Ne' or to a Sanskrit phrase meaning 'at the foot of the mountains'.
Although small, Nepal contains some of the highest points on Earth and some of the deepest valleys. It’s also one of the few countries whose flag isn’t a rectangle—it’s made of two stacked triangles.
