Nepal
Nepal is een land in Azië, gelegen in de Himalaya tussen India, China en Tibet.
Het zuidelijke gedeelte van Nepal ligt op het Indische subcontinent. Een groot gedeelte van Nepal is zeer bergachtig. Van de tien hoogste bergen in de wereld liggen er acht in Nepal, waaronder de hoogste berg ter wereld, de Mount Everest, die aan de grens met China en Tibet ligt. In het zuiden van het land langs de grens met India zijn lager gelegen gebieden. Ongeveer 20% van de oppervlakte is bruikbaar voor de landbouw. Van het zuiden naar het noorden kent Nepal drie zones, het laagland (Terai-regio) in het zuiden, heuvels en lage bergen in het centrum, en de Himalaya in het noorden. De bevolking van Nepal woont voornamelijk in de laaggelegen gebieden langs de grens met India en in de vallei rond Kathmandu. |

A large part of Nepal is very mountainous. Of the ten highest mountains in the world, eight are in Nepal, including the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, on the border with China and Tibet. In the South of the country along the border with India are lower areas.
About 20% of the surface is usable for agriculture. From the South to the North are three zones, the low country Nepal (Terai region) in the
South, hills and low mountains in the Centre, and the Himalayas in the North. The population of Nepal lives mainly in the low lying areas along the
border with India and in the Valley around Kathmandu.
