Religion is an important aspect of life in Nepal and most individuals identify with a particular religion and strive to live their lives accordingly. Nepal is formally a Hindu country. However, religion has become strongly intermingled with Buddhism and as such, it is difficult in reality to define Nepal as one or the other. When asked to identify with a religion, just under 90% of individuals in Nepal classify themselves as Hindu. 5% of Nepalese people classify themselves as part of the Buddhist religion and the remaining 5% is primarily split between the Christian and Islamic religion. There is great tolerance across religions in Nepal which is in many ways unique to Nepal. Part of the regions stems from the fact that adherents of the Hindu religion often worship at Buddhist temples and vice versa.

The sawmills of the timber corporation of Nepal, a government-owned lumber processing concern, supply Kathmandu valley with construction and furniture wood.
