Situated in the lap of
the Himalayas, Nepal is located between the latitude

East, and elevation ranges from 90 to 8848 meters. The
average length being 885 km east to west and the average
breadth is 193 km from north to south. The country is
bordering between the two most populous countries in the
world, India in the East, South, and West, and China in
the North. Nepal is a land locked country and home place
of natural beauty with traces of artifacts. The Northern
range (Himalayas) is covered with snow over the year
where the highest peak of the world, the Mount Everest,
stands. The middle range (Hill) is captured by gorgeous
mountains, high peaks, hills, valleys and lakes.
Southern range (Terai) is the gangaitic plain of
alluvial soil and consist of dense forest area, national
parks, wildlife reserves and conservation areas. The
temperature and rainfall differ from place to place. In
the geographic diversity and varied climatic conditions
23.2 million people of more than 60 caste/ethnic groups
are accommodated in the country. Nepal presents an
example of being united in diversity over the history
and has maintained it's pride as being an independent
sovereign state. There is constitutional monarchy where
people exercise right of adult franchise. The executive,
legislative and judiciary bodies function and exercise
their rights independently. There is two tier system of
legislation, the upper house, called the Rastriya Sabha,
consists of 60 members and the Lower House, called the
Pratinidhi Sabha is the house of Representatives for
which members are elected from 205 electoral
constituency distributed in 75 districts of the country.
The elected Prime Minister heads the government.
Geographically, the country is divided in three regions;
Mountain, Hill and Terai accommodating 7.44 and 49 % of
the population respectively. Based on area of districts
these regions constitute 35, 42 and 23% of the total
land area. There are 5 development regions and 75
administrative districts. Districts are further divided
into smaller units, called Village Development committee
(VDC) and Municipality.
Currently, there are 3914 VDCs and 58 Municipalities in
the country. Each VDC is composed of 9 wards,
Municipality ward ranges from 9 to 35. Kathmandu is the
capital city.There are number of peaks, rivers and lakes
in the country.

countries of the world. Major export commodities are
paste, Pulses, oil Cake, Catechu, Jute good Sacking,
Twins, Carpets (Hand knitted wollen), Readymade
garments, handicrafts, ginger.
Economic growth of the country has not improved markedly
over time to over take population growth. As the country
estimated population growth is 2.3 per annum, the gain
achieved by developmental activities has been concealed
by growing population. Little over half (57%)of the
population of working age reported economically active
in 1991 and among them 81% were engaged in agricultural
activities. Contribution of non-agricultural activities
are gradually increasing in the GDP. Per capita GDP is
estimated in the order of US $ 240 (preliminary
estimate) for 2000/01. The currency is Nepalese Rupee.
