Nepal is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Nepal has everything from the highest peaks to the lowest ground, from diversity to unity. However, Nepal is not very developed despite all the resources it has. We can’t deny that we are not prosperous in monetary terms, but when it comes to our resources and the warmth of people, we have everything.
Unfortunately, Nepal is still a developing country because we have not chosen the right leaders.
