Valleys of Nepal
Map of Nepal
The valleys of Nepal (Nepali: नेपालका उपत्यकाहरू) are situated in three physiographic regions: Terai, Hilly, and Himal.[1] As Nepal is landlocked by India on three sides and China's Tibet Autonomous Region to the north, much of its population is concentrated in valleys and lowlands.[2]
