zalim singh ji,

Nepalese comminity is not that big as NY, DC, BOSTON, or CA. I hope more than 500 families around the state; mostly in Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill) area, Greensboro, Charlotte. We have no actual Data but Nepalese population is growing everyday. I have met few poeple moving from MD, MI, VA.

Weather is moderate like Nepal. But quite warm.

UNC, Duke and NC State all 3 big universities are in Triangle area. UNC- Chapel Hill, Duke- Durham, & NCSU - Raleigh.

HAPPY VIJAYA DASHAMI TO ALL 2062
