Filming in Nepal

Nepal is a country of diverse geography, ethnicity and cultures. The Himalaya range towards the north of Nepal holds the wonder and beauty of nature. The Tibetan and Buddhist influenced culture of the region is the resource of thousands of tales and lore. The Aryan and Hindu Culture of both the mid hilly region and the plain Terai region in its uniqueness exhibits millions of untold stories. Nepal was never a colony. This fact has deep rooted strength-lore and nationalism in Nepal which can be narrated in many different ways. The giant nations of Asia – India and China, share their culture and essence of life with Nepal. Thus, any film that tries to express the blend of those two countries can be filmed in Nepal. The historical figures of Nepal like Gautam Buddha, religious Hindu sites like Pashupati Nath Temple, the wonder of nature like Mount Everest all lie in Nepal. Due to these facts Nepal has always been touristic destination. The lap of nature is always there which can heighten the beauty of any frame of film. The life philosophy and essence of Nepali people gives the narrative a universal tone. And, thus filming in Nepal is always better than best.
