Does anybody know where Nepal is?

Watch the documentary Reality of Nepal

Nepal is a wonderful country, rich in history and culture, where an ideological revolt is at the end and an interethnic clash is at the beginning.
A very interesting article from BBC gives us an example of how environmental care, peace and private interests can be linked together. I try to summarize it briefly.

Nepal is home to the world's highest mountains and to a rich diversity of flora and fauna, but much of the work to conserve them is embroiled in political controversy.
The National Trust for Nature Conservation was until last year named in honour of a former king, Mahendra, and was chaired by Crown Prince Paras with his father, King Gyanendra, as patron.
An investigation has concluded that Nepal's royal family spent large amounts of the trust's money on themselves, over a period of several years, on travels abroad, lavish parties, and health check-ups for Queen Komal in British clinics.
The investigation was entirely conducted by Maoist former rebels, who are now in government and control the trust, but are not an entirely objective source. The report on the trust's funds comes two weeks before elections to an assembly which is supposed to rubber-stamp the abolition of the 240-year-old monarchy.
If the story is true, it would be an example of the abuses committed by the royal family, causes of the ten-year long ideological war in Nepal, in which an estimated 12,000 to 13,000 people have died from 1996 to 2006.
