Mt.Everest   (as seen from Nepal)
Four peaks of the Himalayan mountain range with Mount Everest as seen from the International Space Station looking south-south-east over the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalaya, due to its  large size and expanse,  has been a natural barrier  to the movement of people  for a long time. In particular, this has prevented intermingling of people from  the Indian subcontinent with people from China and Mongolia, causing significantly    different languages      and customs between    these regions.
Nepali culture is very similar to the cultures of Tibet, and India, which borders to the south. There are similarities in clothing, language and food.
Nepal Located between the giants China to the north and India to the south this country is home to more than 20 million people of around 50 ethnic groups.
A  constitutional monarchy   is a form of monarchical government established under a constitutional system which acknowledges an elected or hereditary monarch as head of state.

The Ganges  river has a  long history  of reverence  in India and  is often called  the 'holy Ganga'. It traces its origin to a glacier in the Himalayas and joins the Alaknanda River to form the Ganga.  Alluvial plain
The Ganges flows across the large plains of North India and empties into the Bay of Bengal after dividing up into many distributaries.
Varanasi  is closely associated with the   Ganges   and  has many temples along its banks
 
Sacred waters Hindus have long believed that  the water of Ganga has a special  purity.  Studies conducted in 1983  on water samples taken from the  right bank of the Ganga at Patna  confirm that escheria coliform  (E.Coli.), fecal streptococci and  vibrio cholerae organisms die two  to three times faster in Ganga  than in water taken from the rivers Son and Gandak and from dug wells and tube wells in the same area.
Pollution The Ganges collects large amounts of human  pollutants  as it flows through highly populous areas. These populous areas, and other people down stream, are then exposed to these potentially hazardous accumulations.
Delta Formed as the Ganges River empties into the Bay of Bengal after dividing up into many distributaries
Bangladesh Surrounded by India, this country on the northern coast of the Bay of Bengal shares a small common border with Myanmar.
The borders of Bangladesh were set by the  partition of India  in 1947, when it became the eastern wing of  Pakistan , separated from the western wing by 1,000 miles.
Bangladesh The country is low-lying riverine land traversed by the many branches and tributaries of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers.

He won his Nobel Prize in Literature for notable impact his prose works and poetic thought had on English, French, and other national literatures of Europe and the Americas.
