One third of the Himalayan range is found in Nepal.

2. Who of the following was born in Nepal?

Tibet is part of China though most Tibetans want their independence. The Himalayas form the natural border between Nepal and Tibet.

4. Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is situated in the Kathmandu valley. Much of the city had to be rebuilt after which natural disaster in 1934?

Answer: Earthquake

The name, "Kathmandu" means, "wooden house", named after a 12th century building situated in Durbur Square, originally built to welcome guests from abroad. The mountains adjacent to the city are sometimes called the foothills of the Himalayas.

Kathmandu has had more devastating earthquakes since the one in 1934 - 2015 was particularly bad.

5. Which ocean forms a natural border of Nepal?

Answer: None of these

Nepal is a land-locked country but has many rivers and lakes. The Himalayas are the source of many of Asia's greatest rivers.

6. What mountain is the tallest in Nepal?

Answer: Mt. Everest

The world's tallest mountain is part of the Tibetian/Nepalese border. Its peak is 29,000 feet above sea level.

7. What can you sometimes find on the streets of Nepal?

Answer: All of these

Street names and numbers are historically not used in places where most of the population is illiterate. If you need to find a certain address, such as a hotel or someone's house, you'll need to know the village or neighborhood where it can be found. Then go to the neighborhood and start wandering around until you find it. This is changing, however.

8. What country borders Nepal to the south?

Answer: India

Himalayas extend into India in the South, and Tibet in the North.

9. What is the currency used in Nepal?

Answer: The rupee

Nepal is one of the poorest countries per capita. Many farmers support only their own families and never use money. This means that visitors find cheap prices awaiting them in all areas.
By the way, Large stone coins are used as currency on the Pacific Island of Yap.

10. Of the ten highest mountain peaks in the world, how many can be found in Nepal?

Answer: Eight

Remember to bring warm clothes when you go trekking in Nepal. The cities are hot, but once you start ascending, it quickly gets cold. Every thousand feet above sea level reduces the temperature by approximately three degrees. This part of the world is known as "The Roof of the World."
