Our mightiest rivers such as Gandaki , Koshi, Karnali,Narayani along with
more than 6000 rivers and streams are our water resources. Lake Tilicho
(Manang), is situated at the highest altitude (4919 mt) . Rara (Mugu), Bis
Hazari (Chitwan) Phewa and Begnas Lake (Kaski), are gifts of nature. They
are not only the beauty but also the pride of Nepal.

Similarly, Pashupatinath, Swyambhunath, Bouddhanath along with
different monasteries are the cultural pride of Nepal. Likewise, our Durbar
Squares and places such as Simrowngarh (Bara district) Sinja valley, etc.
carry both historical and archeological significance.

Different folk musics and dances, Jatras, rite and rituals are the typical
identities of different ethnic groups living in Nepal. Likewise, ‘Dashain’
Christmas, Eid are some of the most popular examples of religious festivals

celebrated in Nepal.
Our culture, people, history and geography make our country a unique
nation. It is our identity and pride. Hence, It’s our duty to preserve and
protect them all.

Because of above mentioned factors, I am proud to be a Nepalese. I love my
nation. My nation is my home and mother. I will do my best to serve her.

I am hopeful that you have learned many things about Nepal. Let me
repeat that I am proud to be a Nepali citizen.
Your friend,

Niru.
