Etymology

The country’s name comes from the Kathmandu Valley, known as Nepāl. According to Hindu mythology, the name derives from a sage called Ne and the Pali word pala, which means “to protect”. Therefore, it would mean “protected by Ne”.

Another theory proposes that it is a compound of Nipa (“foot of a mountain”) and -ala (short for alaya, meaning “abode”), which would make Nepal the “abode at the foot of the mountain”.

Geography

Nepal is located in South Asia and borders China to the north and India to the east, south, and west.

There are four main climates: tundra and monsoon-influenced subarctic in the north, monsoon-influenced subtropical highland in the center, and monsoon-influenced humid subtropical in the south. Temperatures range from −7 °C (19.4 °F) in winter to 39 °C (100.4 °F) in summer. The average annual temperature is 19.7 °C (67.4 °F).

The country is divided into seven provinces (praśāsanik vibhājana), which are further divided into 77 districts (swayatta pradeśharū). The largest cities in Nepal are Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bharatpur, Lalitpur, and Birgunj.

Sol de Thary

  Te amo, pois sei a realidade do que há dentro das minhas camadas astrais e físico planetárias que reconhecem o bem que teu calor me faz, traduzindo o que é o verdadeiro amor; amar alguém por sua unicidade em essência complexa.

  Cósmica paixão, sua real face me fez florescer camadas tão secas do meu entorno já tão degradado pelo tempo dos extintos seres. Tu é o grandioso calor do novo-mundo ao qual como o único astro a aquecer esse hiper-planeta se faz o conhecimento necessário para os novos povos que antes apenas por meio a luz das antigas e opacas luas hoje vêem as densas colorações que seu mundo os pode oferecer.

  Tamanha ânsia dimensional para expressar meu sentimento, apenas por conhecer sua existência em vida: por admirar cada detalhe teu; me apaixonar a cada novo momento que te vejo aos amanheceres; saber que em dias de cintilante alegria aos dias de mórbidas tristezas terei tua presença física e energética em meio meu sistemas existencial, que o conforto ao qual em ajuda tens a me mandar espero que possa em reciprocidade emanar a tua zona dimensional todo carinho de cura.

  Jovem astro que por meio de sua aura avermelhada irradiando através do azul das minhas estrelas transpassa aos olhos de meus habitantes e novos viajantes o doce tom do roxo atmosférico, também sinônimo melhor representado para descrever a chama do amor interior que alimenta o elemento Thary da vida.

  Peço ao cosmos que possa eu estar em  tua presença pelo tempo ao qual possa você  suportar esse vortex dentre duas galáxias que sou. Almejo que a cada novo momento possa eu aproveitar em vislumbre tua estada próxima de minha existência e por meio da mutualidade possamos juntos fazer desse vazio universal ser preenchido das cores, tons e timbres do sentimento dual da chama que dilata a pupila do anseio, pulsa o coração do impulso e regenera as forças para o renascer das emoções.
