'''Nepal''' is a [[Control]] [[Maps|map]] in ''[[Overwatch]]''. One of the 12 maps included in the game's release on 24 May 2016.

==Background==
Years ago, a group of [[omnic]] robots experienced what they described as a spiritual awakening. They abandoned their programmed lives to establish a monastery high in the Himalayas, where like-minded omnics could gather to meditate on the nature of their existence. Led by their spiritual leader, [[Tekhartha Mondatta]], they took over the ruins of an ancient monastery and turned it into the home of the [[Shambali]], a place where omnics and humans alike make pilgrimages in the hopes of finding a greater truth.

==Gameplay==
{{stub-section}}
Each round is played on one of the three sections of the map:
*Village
*Shrine
*Sanctum

==Strategy==

In Nepal, the Sanctum and Village maps are great for [[Mei]], because she can put up her Ice Wall to block the entrance. [[Symmetra]] can be utilized well in Sanctum by placing her turrets and teleporter in the back room by the point and/or the room above. 

Heroes with push abilities such as [[Pharah]]'s [[Concussive Blast]] and [[Lúcio]]'s [[Soundwave]] can use said abilities to push enemies off the point to their deaths in Sanctum. [[D.Va]] and [[Junkrat]] are also capable doing this but is harder to pull off for inexperienced players. [[Winston]] and Roadhog are also capable but only while they use ultimate ability; [[Primal Rage]] and [[Whole Hog]].

==Trivia==
* In one of the buildings near control point on village variation of the map there can be seen a photo of young [[Hanzo]] and [[Genji]]. 
**Next to it is also (probably) Hanzo's katana and painting of two people which is a reference to Shimada's clan legend about two dragons.
*From an in-universe standpoint, the map (or at least its sanctum and possibly shrine portions) may be part of/related to the [[Shambali Monastery]]. The map's description references the monastery itself, and Shambali statues and banners can be seen on the map. The village may be the same one mentioned in ''[[Ramattra: Reflections]]'', which is described as being located beneath the monastery.
*Adjacent from Nepal is the Shambali Monastery.
