People of Nepal:
Nepal is ma ulti-lingual, multi-cultural, and multi-religious country. They are the friendliest people in the world, so visitors keep coming back due to their friendly nature of welcoming guests. Nepal is an incredibly diverse country in the world where over 100 ethnic groups practice almost all religions in the world. It is fantastic to know about Nepalese people and the way they have adapted to the amazing environment because of the mountains and inaccessibility to the outer world; some Nepalese people's lives have changed very little in the last century. We can still see caravans and mules transporting goods in a remote part of the mountain. Oxen plow the land, the blacksmith makes tools, bullock carts transport grain and straw in the fields, and firewood is the major source of cooking in the village, where life is like an open-air history museum.

Life of people living in the city area are a bit modern with some modernity, but the traditions and cultures of these people are the same as centuries ago. Many of the festivals were celebrated as they were hundreds of years ago. Some locals represent forgetting the kings who once ruled over their ancestors. Ancient Nepal was deeply influenced by its faith in God, so it repeatedly visited temples and gods. Once you are introduced to the Nepalese family, you are most likely to be invited to the meal. Even the poorest people in remote Nepal will share their meals with guests. Perhaps, this is the major reason that people from different parts of the Globe visit Nepal time and again. Tourists cannot remain as tourists for long, but as their friends and family. So, they cannot be strangers but a valued guest. The best means to meet Nepalese people is during trekking, in the street, and during tours. Tourists visit Nepal repeatedly, which shows their attachment to Nepal is deep.

There are about 26 million Nepalese, according to the census of 2068 B.S.E. Ethnic groups of people speak different languages; however, most ethnic groups are mainly divided into two groups:s Indo-Aryans/Indo-Nepalese and Tibeto Mongolians/Tibeto Nepalese. Historically, those who entered Nepal during ancient times from the Indian Subcontinent are the Indo Aryans, and those who came across the Himalayas from the north are Mongolians. These people make up the complete Nepal. There are many nomadic tribes in the hills and terai who have now summited to the agrarian system.

Those Nepalese who enter Nepal from the Indian Subcontinent,t like Indo Aryan,s are mainly Brahmins, Chhetris who are mainly educated and religiously Hindus. Those who entered from the Tibetan border were Rai, Limbu, Gurung, Sherpa, and religiously Buddhist. There is religious and ethnic harmony between these two groups, so Nepal is an undivided, unconquered, and secular state from the very beginning.

Those people who live in the mountains are skilled climbers and are acclimatized to mountain and their climate, while people living in the plain belt of Terai are less familiar with the mountains and their culture. So, tourists visiting Nepal and wishing to climb up the hills prefer the Sherpa Guide who is friendly and Honest. Some Nepalese are famous all over the world as Gurkhas. During World War 1 and 2 Nepalese people from the mountains served with the British Army, so every year thousands of Nepalese were selected for the Gurkha Military.
Nepal is considered a peaceful country because the messenger of peace to the world, Gautam Buddha, was Born In Nepal. He is also known as the light of Asia and a peace messenger.
