Nepal's Administrative Divisions: 77 Districts, 7 Provinces (Not 75/14)

Nepal was never divided into 75 districts and 14 zones as a current structure. The 14-zone, 75-district system was replaced in 2015 by the new constitution establishing a federal republic with:

• 7 Provinces (Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali, Sudurpashchim)
• 77 Districts (administrative units within provinces)
• 753 Local Levels (municipalities & rural municipalities)

The old zones (e.g., Bagmati, Gandaki, Karnali) were abolished. Current districts are grouped under provinces, not zones.
