But still there is a mystery in the origin of the name Nepal; however few historians believe that it is loosely derived from Ne (holy) and pal (cave). This country is also famous for its rich history and traditions and after a long and affluent history, during which the region splintered and coalesced under an assortment of supreme rulers, Nepal became a constitutional dominion in 1990. On the other hand, the monarchy retained many significant and ill-defined powers. This ultimately led to the ongoing Nepalese Civil War in which more than 13,000 people have died. On the pretext of nullifying the insurgents, who now control about 60% of the country, the king closed down the parliament and sacked the elected prime minister in 2002 and started ruling through prime ministers appointed by him. But in early 2005 he unilaterally declared a "state of emergency" and assumed all executive powers. But now this peaceful country is back on track and Bhutan tourism is slowly and steadily attracting tourists all around the globe.
