Background[]
Years ago, a group ofomnic 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 theShambali, a place where omnics and humans alike make pilgrimages in the hopes of finding a greater truth.

In Nepal, the Sanctum and Village maps are great forMei, 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 asPharah'sConcussive Blast andLúcio'sSoundwave can use said abilities to push enemies off the point to their deaths in Sanctum.D.Va andJunkrat 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 andWhole Hog.

Trivia[]
- In one of the buildings near control point on village variation of the map there can be seen a photo of youngHanzo andGenji.
- 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 theShambali 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 inRamattra: Reflections, which is described as being located beneath the monastery.
- Adjacent from Nepal is the Shambali Monastery.
