Swarji, I am writing this assuming that you are freshly coming to the US from Nepal. Murray is a small college town in the middle of nowhere. I would be surprised if there are any Nepalis around apart from a few university students. You may want to inquire the international students' office about contacting the Nepali students, if there are any. The closest towns with a sizeable Nepali community are Nashville, TN, Carbondale, IL, and Bowling Green, KY which are perhaps 2 to 4 hrs away from Murray. Lexington has a pretty large Nepali community of about 50-60 but it is pretty far from Murray (my estimate is about 6 or 7 hrs).
By the way, how are you going to reach Murray? I hope you did not buy an air ticket to Lexington unless you know someone there who is driving you to Murray. Also, I doubt it if the Greyhound (the bus company which has a virtual monopoly in most of the US except for a few regional routes) serves Murray since it is away from any major highway. Perhaps Paducah, KY (with limited commercial air service) and Nashville, TN (a major city served by more airlines albeit further than Paducah from Murray) would be your best bet. Anyway be sure to contact the international students's office regarding transportation from the airport unless someone else is driving you there.
I wish you all the best.
