Religious and Cultural Harmony
Nepal is one of the best examples of religious and cultural harmony in the world. One can find a harmonious blending of Hinduism and Buddhism in the country. Known as a 'melting pot of Asia', several ethnic groups from different cultures and customs live together in Nepal. The Sherpas, who are from Tibeto-Burman origin, dwell in the higher hills or on the lower part of high mountains in the north. They have already earned name and fame globally in the field of mountaineering and trekking. A wide variety of people live in the mid-hills. They include Brahmins, Kshetris, Newars, Tamangs and others. The Tharus and other ethnic groups live in the plain land of Terai, which is linked with India. The Tharus, who have their own traditional culture, practice animism.
