Nepal, a landlocked country between India and China, is known for its mountain peaks. The small country contains eight of the 10 highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga – the world’s tallest and third tallest respectively.
According to Hindu mythology, Nepal derives its name from an ancient Hindu sage called Ne, referred to as Ne Muni or Nemi. According to Pashupati Purāna, as a place protected by Ne, the country in the heart of the Himalayas came to be known as Nepāl.
