Description
Nepal is one of the world's least developed countries. A Maoist insurgency has escalated over the last few years and security is a major concern.
Nepal is the only official Hindu state in the world. While most people still live in rural areas, urbanisation has seen Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, double in size in the 1990s.
Nepal is landlocked and acts as an important buffer zone between India and China. Eight of the world's 10 highest peaks are in Nepal. Hydroelectric power is a potential growth and export industry.
Despite years of persecution, the number of Christians has grown to an estimated 400,000 in 2000. Churches led by local teachers and pastors have been planted in each of the country's 75 districts.
