Little Nepal

My tribute to the most beautiful country in the world.

Little Nepal was a small piece of characteristical Nepalese landscape on half a sim. There were Buddhist and Hindu sanctuaries, a trekking path, the Little Nepal Museum, many cosy spots to relax and the Yak & Yeti mainstore.

Enjoy life! Jaya Nepal!
