Despite it being one of the poorest countries in the world the Nepali people were (in general) some of the most generous and open-hearted I've met anywhere. I've heard people dismiss their advances in LGBT rights as being a way to curry favour with gay tourists, but I like to look at it from a different perspective - being flooded with so many people of other nationalities, they've had the opportunity to broaden their perspectives in a way that more insular countries don't.
