10. Nepal enjoys one of the slowest internet

To see the history, Internet was into effect in this landlocked country since 1994. Yet, it stands as the second country just after Libya with regards to the internet speed. About 60% people in this country surf internet with a speed which is below 256 kbps. However, different ISPs and communication firms have slowly started providing good internet service at a minimal of cost. The prospect of internet facility is sure to increase in the future days to come real quick.

9. People are bound to live in the dark

Although Nepal ranks second in water resource in the world, and has great prospects of hydropower of around 83,000 MW, the country is bound to face load-shedding problems throughout the year. The crappy infrastructures of the country is not able to withstand the addition of around two millions of people in the county. With border encroachment from India, even rivers are not given to be used properly. On average, people get around 9-12 hours of electricity throughout the day and the schedule changes almost 3-4 times in different seasons. This has been the main reason for underdevelopment as it affects a lot in the long run of industries, factories and offices.

 8. Weeds! Did I hear Weeds?

Once named as the weed capital with the best weeds in the world at the Freak Street, Nepal still has got a wide prospect with regards to weed. Although weed is said to be illegal and is not available for buy and sale, we can find the growth of weeds everywhere mostly in the rural area, around the roads, ditches, farm lands, mountainside and everywhere. Who would not love to fire a pot and get along with the fine environment that Nepal beholds.

6. The Namaste Tradition

One of the most different part of greeting in this country is that they don’t shake hands or hug. They hold both of their palm and bow down and say ‘Namaste’. Mythically this means that they salute the god living inside the soul. Who would not love a child greet you when you sit tired in the shade? Lovely!

5. The Unity

With the slogan of ‘Unity in Diversity’, Nepalese people hold one of the best feelings of patriotism and nationality. Whatever it be, a football or a cricket tournament, an event promotion or anything, people from all the caste and creeds unite together for the sake of the nation. We can take the example of Buddha for who Nepalese people showed strong determination and outcast India on the topic by taking the protest to the international forums. We can see the unity of people together in any concerts, ceremonies, local and national festivals that bound them as one.

4. The National Flag

Nepal has a flag that is only non- quadrilateral shaped and no other country have it in that shape. Recent researches on flags show that the national flag of Nepal is the most mathematical flag in the entire world. With blue border and red filler, the national flag has sun and moon embedded in it. The two triangles represent the Himalayan Mountains and two major religions Hinduism and Buddhism that people most follow in the country.

3. Mountain climbing, trekking and rafting

Nepal has a wide prospect in mountain climbing, trekking and rafting. With eight highest peaks in the world, a lot of people come for mountain climbing and trekking to the Himalayan regions of the country. Also, there are a lot of fast flowing rivers like Trisuli which are world-wide known for rafting.

Nepal also holds some of the world famous Guinness world records and different international prizes, international recognitions and involvements that have made the profile of this small country to be one of the best.

1. The Gurkha Legacy

This must be one of the most interesting part of Nepal. Countries like India and China who surround Nepal were ruled by foreign powers in the history but no power could suppress Nepalese and the will of legendary Gurkhas in taking over Nepal. Gurkhas are also well known for their leadership, bravery, courage and no-fear nature that they showed in the World Wars. World Famous footballer Maradona once quoted that they would not have won against England in 1986 world cups if there were Gurkhas in the football stadium.
