About Nepal Vista

`Vista' and `Nepal'

Vista is defined as an awareness of a range of time, events, or subjects, and meaning for a broad mental view, and the word Nepal is defined as a country located in the Himalaya Mountains between India and southwest China. -- from dictionary.com

The country name `Nepal' is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit word nipalaya, which means "at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains". Also the word Nepal is believed to be related to Tibetan word niyampal, which means "holy land". And a much broader meaning of Nepal can be as a country of natural beauty, home of legendary Gorkhas, the only country having the highest land on earth - Mt. Everest, and as a home of peace loving Lord, Buddha, and Hindu Goddess, Sita. Definition can go on and on, Nepal has endless meaning. We must add a few more, Nepal as a country where over 100 spoken languages are found, as a country of over 70 different ethnic groups living in harmony having their own unique traditions, customs and culture. And tourists visiting Nepal love to define Nepal as `small on the outside and big on the inside' - Welcome to Nepal!


Our History

The idea of promoting Nepal came to us in the year 2001. The word "Vista" seemed just the name we were looking for, as the word looked short and had tons of meaning just like our Nepal.

We started with a simple page that had a directory of nepali websites, then slowly we added travel section. We just felt it was not enough to promote, so started adding site awards to encourage our webmasters to build better websites, also a forum and now a blog. We will continue to add contents to promote our beautiful Nepal - that's what drives us to keep working on this site every single day.

The Most popular FAQ about our Domain Name.

Recently, a lot of people have asked us a question similar to this one..."Did you pick the name because Windows Vista Came ?" We think those such people did not read the copyright notice written at the end of each page of our site. You can also view yourself the details of this domain such as when it was registered.

Some of our Nepali visitors have requested us to publish a page or two about "Windows Vista", We will try to do that. But for now, please visit Our Web Directory > Information Technology, it has a listing.
