Located in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal was the birthplace of Buddhism. Around 563 B.C., Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born and later gave up his wealth and status in search of enlightenment.
It is unknown the exact origin of the name of Nepal; it could have originated from the name of a tribe in the area, or it might have come from the root “Ne”, which could have come from the name of an advisor to one of the kings, or could have come from the local language where its meanings range from “center” to “holy”.
