    About Nepal

    Official Name: Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal 


    Nepal is a mountainous landlocked country in southern Asia, in the Himalayas. It is bordered by
    China (Tibet Autonomous Region (Xizang)), and India by the Indian states of Uttarakhand, Uttar
    Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Sikkim.
    With an area of 147,181 km² it is somewhat larger than 1.5 times the size of Portugal, or slightly
    larger than the U.S. state of Arkansas.
    Nepal offers a variety of state of the art and high end geographical features, beginning with the
    Tarai in south, the flat river plain of the Ganges with a belt of marshy grasslands, savannas, and
    forests, the Tarai has a tropical to subtropical climate. The terrain changes then northwards to
    the central hill region (Pahad), the outer foothills of the Himalaya with an elevation between
    600 m to 1,800 m, followed by the Mahabharat Range, some also call it the Lesser Himalaya, a
    major east-west mountain range with elevations from 1,500 to 2,700 m.
    And then the peaks, the highlights of Nepal's geography, the majestic, rugged Himalayas in
    north, more than half of the highest mountains on Earth are located in the country, eight of the
    fourteen eight-thousanders, including Mount Everest, are either in whole or shared across a
    border with Tibet or India.
    Nepal has a population 31 million (2016 est.). Largest city and national capital is Kathmandu.
    Spoken languages: about half of the population speaks the official language Nepali, the rest is
    using one of the several other Tibeto-Burman languages.
