Although Nepali village named ‘Lumbini’ is the Buddha birthplace ‘Siddhartha Gautama’ and the Buddhism foundation, Today the beliefs and practices of Hinduism have had a major impact on Nepalese society. Until 2006, Nepal was the only state in the world with Hinduism as the official religion, where 80.6% of the inhabitants are Hindu, 10,7 % constitute the Buddhists, 4.2% the Muslims and 3.5% other religions according to the census carried out in 2001.
Nepal has Chitwan National Park (the heart jungle), which is the potential reserve of amazing animals such as the snow leopard, asian rhinoceros, bengal tiger, Ganges dolphin, king cobra, Indian python, red panda, elongated tortoise, monitor lizard, marsh crocodile, and gavials. Faced with the frequent poachers threat, the park has implemented preservation and relocation actions, since this is home of the few remaining populations of Asian one-horned rhinoceros and is one of the last refuges of Bengal tiger.
