Buddha's birthplace (5)
I believe the answer is:
nepal
'buddha's birthplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "Country located mainly in the Himalayas" , "mountainous region" , "Gurkha homeland" , "hilly part of Asia" , "somewhere in Asia" .)
