I found him/her in Nepal in a monastery. When i asked the care taker they said he/she was 40 years.They estimated the age based on the fact it was there for more than 40 years.

I don't what kind of tortoise or terapin was this. And wanted to know if someone knew his/her breed.

This tortoise is being in a monastery in Nepal and is worshiped by the visitors.
