Nepal and Tibet are two similar regions separated and joined by the Himalayan mountain range - both areas share Mount Everest. Tibet is to the north of the Himalayas, with China to the north and east, and is claimed as part of China, Nepal is an independent country to the south of the Himalayas, with India to the south. Bhutan is a third, similar region, a little to the east of Nepal, between Tibet and India. The peoples in all three regions follow Buddhism. And all three have incense which is termed Himalayan incense.
Tibetan incense is the most well known and most commonly available of all three countries. It is a long dry stick dhoop style incense made with local herbs and intended more for ritual, spiritual, or health purposes than for aesthetic burning. Incense from Bhutan is very similar. Incense from Nepal can sometimes be dry stick dhoops, though is more frequently "rope" style - powdered ingredients are placed in paper which is then twisted into a rope shape and burned.
