Locating Nepal in the Globe

Geographically, Nepal lies in 26⁰ to 30⁰ north latitude and 84⁰ 5’ to 88⁰ 12’ east longitude. If you are trying to locate Nepal in your world map, run your finger to South Asia. You will see a small irregular brick-shaped patch locked between China and India. This is Nepal. Irrespective of its size and position of being trapped between two geographical and political giants of the region, Nepal has been able to maintain its identity in the world affairs. This is due to some salient features which distinguish it from other nations in the world map. Some of them may be similar to those of some nations, but there are some features that are unique to this Himalayan Kingdom.
