Nepal
Nepal is a landlocked country in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. Nepal has three district geographical zones- lowland hills, mountains valleys & the great Himalayan Range- with subtropical to alpine-arctic temperatures and wide variations in vegetation and animal life. Most in Nepal are farmers. They grow grain, fruit & other crops in the lowlands, where temperatures are the warmest. Rice and corn grow in terraced or stair-like fields in the cooler hilly regions. Potatoes & barley are the staple or chief at higher altitudes, where temperatures are the coolest. the Nepalese raise goats, cattle and yaks for diary products. Meat is eaten mostly on special occasions. Religious rules affect which meat people in Nepal eat. Hindus who makes up almost 70 % of the population , do not eat beef. Islam does not allow its followers, Muslims to eat pork. The Buddhist religion prohibits the killing of any animals but allows the eating of meat. A typical family meal in Nepal might include daal bhat or chapatti, steamed vegetables, and achaar. About 90 % of Nepalese people live in rural areas. They often lack electricity for refrigerators, so they rely on cereals such as grain, lentils and beans. People take their traditions and kinds of food they eat with them when they move from one place to another. You might recognize examples when you look at your classmate's special foods or at specialty restaurants in your community.
