Is Nepal in India? No—It's a Separate Himalayan Nation

No. Nepal is an independent, landlocked country located north of India in the Himalayas.

• Borders: China (Tibet) to the north; India to the south, east, and west.
• Capital: Kathmandu.
• Distinct history, culture, language (Nepali), and government (federal parliamentary republic).

Nepal was never colonized and has maintained sovereignty throughout its recorded history.
