Despite all its Buddhist monuments and culture, Nepal was officially, until about 10 years ago, actually a Hindu country . The government then declared it a secular state, but as the stray cows indicate, it's probably still "Hindu" to a great extent. (Apparently some people, and all cows, pay little attention to the dictates of government.)

But just like India (which has been a secular state since its founding), Nepal is a diverse amalgam of Hindu, Buddhism, and Islam. The first two might seem to be a bit intertwined, since Buddhism arose in a Hindu culture.

Oddly enough, some of the Muslims in Nepal want the country to return to being an officially "Hindu" country, as the current "secular" state is so very antithetical to the Muslim worldview. I can't understand why they'd want to mess with a good thing.
