The people of Nepal are of several different tribes and speak different languages. In the higher valleys live the Tibetans while in the center and west live the Newars and the Gurkhas. The Sherpas, another mountain tribe of Nepal, have become famous as porters and guides for international climbing expeditions. The Gurkhas belong to the Hindu religion, but some of the Nepalese have embraced Buddhism. There are a number of schools and a University in Nepal.  The capital is Kathmandu, a town of about 2,35,000 people with narrow streets of brick houses and many fine temples. Timber and tourism are major industries.
