Climate
Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the largest city.
Disappeared children
The combination of various factors such as a strong patriarchal society in Nepal significantly impacts human rights work in Nepal and makes migration a very difficult subject to tackle, especially when it comes to protecting the increasing amount of sex trafficked children to Asia and mostly India & Poland, NGO Winrock Foundation wrote in 2017.[1]

Nationalism
After the Maoist Party joined mainstream politics, in the aftermath of the peaceful revolution of 2006, Npeal also adopted multi-party democracy as its official line. The transition period between 2006 and 2015 saw sustained protests from the newly formed ethnocentric nationalist movements, causing mass poverty and wage slavery.[2][3]

“500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, the Guardian can reveal.
The findings, compiled from government sources, mean an average of 12 migrant workers from these five south Asian nations have died each week since the night in December 2010 when the streets of Doha were filled with ecstatic crowds celebrating Qatar’s victory.
Data from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka revealed there were 5,927 deaths of migrant workers in the period 2011–2020. Separately, data from Pakistan’s embassy in Qatar reported a further 824 deaths of Pakistani workers, between 2010 and 2020.”
