About Nepal

Nepal, officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country situated in South Asia. Primarily located in the Himalayas, Nepal shares borders with the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north and India to the south, east, and west. It is narrowly separated from Bangladesh by the Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim. Nepal boasts diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains, with Mount Everest being the highest point on Earth.

Kathmandu serves as the capital and the largest city. It is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, and multi-cultural state, with Nepali as the official language. In the middle of the first millennium BC, Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born in Lumbini in southern Nepal. In the 18th century, the Gorkha King Prithivi Narayan Shah, unified Nepal. T

he Shah dynasty established the Kingdom of Nepal and later formed an alliance with the British Empire under the Rana dynasty of premiers. Although never colonized, Nepal served as a buffer state between Imperial China and British India. While parliamentary democracy was introduced in 1951, it was twice suspended by Nepalese monarchs in 1960 and 2005.

The Nepalese Civil War in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the establishment of a secular republic in 2008, marking the end of the world’s last Hindu monarchy. The Constitution of Nepal, adopted in 2015, designates the country as a secular federal parliamentary republic divided into seven provinces. Nepal joined the United Nations in 1955, signing friendship treaties with India in 1950 and China in 1960.

It hosts the permanent secretariat of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), of which it is a founding member. Nepal is also a participant in the Non-Aligned Movement and the Bay of Bengal Initiative. Nepal’s armed forces, the fifth-largest in South Asia, hold significance for their Gurkha history, especially during the world wars, and have actively contributed to United Nations peacekeeping operations.
