Facts from our quizzes
Nepal in our quizzes
Bhutan is a wrong choice for Kathmandu and again for Nepal's flag and outline. Bhutan, India and Sri Lanka sit beside Nepal in the flag round. For the outline, the other choices are Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan. Bhutan is on both lists.
Trivia asks: “Which is the only country in the world with a non-rectangular national flag?” The answer is Nepal. It also asks: “Mount Everest lies on the border between Nepal and which country?” (China). Chitwan National Park and Dhaulagiri, two of 13 Nepal photos, are marked easy; Machhapuchhre is marked hard.
