Nepal’s minimum wage is fixed at NPR 15,000 ($121) per month although skilled employees will negotiate rates on a case-by-case basis which will tend to be higher than the minimum wage.
Nepal has the world’s densest concentration of World Heritage sites such as Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and Patan Durbar Square.
It’s home to the majestic Himalayas —Everest (or, Chomolungma in Nepalese), and eight of the other top ten highest peaks in the world. Nepal is also the world’s largest producer of mustard seed & the third-largest of ginger and is home to 125 different ethnic groups and castes.
