Nepal is a premier destination for Hindu, Buddhist,
Sanskrit and Tantric studies. Community education and historical surveys
are also very popular. Study of the ancient Bon religion is also gaining
ground, besides studies in animism and shamanism that are still extant
in Nepal.
Serious studies of Nepal are also quite an experience. Most of Buddhist studies are done in monasteries located in remote areas of the country. Sanskrit studies are normally taken up in Kathmandu and the Terai lowlands. Study visits have to be pre-arranged. Most of the monasteries allow students only on special requests. Sanskrit learning also must be pre-arranged. Visits to the places of learning can be done through direct contact. |
