Nepal is a  beautiful and interesting place to visit mostly outside the Kathmandu Valley. The places are full of history and historical remains and are remarkable for their beauties. Most of the places can be easily reached from Kathmandu by road or by air.

Three interesting things of Nepal are as follows:

Second, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.The mountain, which is part of the Himalay range in High Asia, is located on the boarder among Nepal and Tibet and China. The height of the Mount Everest is 8,848 meters. Many people died while they climbed this mountain. Pasang Lhamu Sherpa is the first woman from Nepal to climb up the Mount Everest. Unfortunately, she died on her way back.

And the last, Boudhanath is the stupa of Budhists. It  lies 8 Km east of Kathmandu. It is the biggest Stupa in Nepal and is located on flat land and encircled by houses and monasteries, where Rinpoches lives. This colossal Stupa is set on concentric ascending terraces in the powerful pattern of a Mandala. Around the base of this strikingly enormous and simple stupa are a ring of 108 images of the Buddha and 147 insets containing prayer wheels. It is quite and attractive place to live. In the morning and evening the place seems busy with the peoples.

Seble :-  Can you explain where Nepal is located?

Ans: Nepal is located between Tibet and India. It lies in Asia. When you see the map, Nepal is just above the India.

2.  What is Mandala and please explain what do you mean by "in the powerful pattern of a Mandala."

Ans:Mandala is a graphical reprsentation of the universe used in Bhudhist religion.

 Basically, it is round is shape. In the sphere of religious practices and in psychology it denotes circular images, which are drawn, painted, modeled, or danced. Structures of this kind are to be found in  Buddhism, and as dance figures these circular patterns occur also in Dervish monasteries. Often the mandala archetype is an attempt at self-healing of the part of a person or a community. Whereas ritual mandala always display a definite style and a limited wealth of motifs and symbolic allusions, from which it can easily be seen that they are endeavoring to express either the totality of the individual in his inner or outer experience of the world, or its essential point of reference. In this way if we understand we can find lot of powerful iforamtions from the Mandala in the stupas.
