ABOUT NEPAL

Nepal is a land locked Sandwiched between two Asian giants--China and India--Nepal traditionally has been characterized as "a yam caught between two rocks." Noted for its majestic Himalayas, which in Sanskrit means the abode of snow, Nepal is very mountainous and hilly. Its shape is roughly rectangular, about 650 kilometers long and about 200 kilometers wide, and comprises a total of 147,181 square kilometers  of land. 

 

 

For a small country, Nepal has great physical diversity, ranging from the Tarai Plain--the northern rim of the Gangetic Plain situated at about 300 meters above sea level in the south--to the almost 8,800-meter-high Mount Everest, locally known as Sagarmatha (its Nepali name), in the north. From the lowland Tarai belt, landforms rise in successive hill and mountain ranges, including the stupendous rampart of the towering Himalayas, ultimately reaching the Tibetan Plateau beyond the Inner Himalayas. This rise in elevation is punctuated by valleys situated between mountain ranges. Within this maze of mountains, hills, ridges, and low valleys, elevational (altitudinal) changes rersulted in ecological variations. 

 

Population of Nepal

The current population of Nepal is 29,081,577 as of Friday, March 10, 2017, based on the latest United Nations estimates. Nepal population is equivalent to 0.39% of the total world population.

 

Nepal’s fact:

• Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with more than 25% of its residents living  below the poverty line. 

• About 80 per cent of Nepal's people live in rural areas and depend on subsistence farming for their livelihoods.

• Many women and children in Nepal are extremely vulnerable to various forms of exploitation. Each year more than 13,000 women and girls are trafficked from Nepal into the international sex trade, to be prostituted in brothels in India but increasingly around the world.
