The nepalese people are an incredibly friendly people. I was in awe when I first arrived in Kathmandu from India and found the people to be very open and friendly regardless of status. They smiled all the time and were not at all suspicious of foreigners.
Nepal is full of temples of which Pashupatinathi (Hindu) and Bodnath (Buddhist) are prominent. The lamas and monks live in monastaries.
Although the literacy rate is still way below international standards, the people are a highly philosophical society who emphasize eductaion. By tradition, the nepalese honor teachers whom they consider are the intellectuals.
Kathmandu is a very romantic city - tourists love it.
