Geography of Nepal
Nepal measures about along its Himalayan axis by across. Nepal has an area of .
Nepal is landlocked by India on three sides and China's Tibet Autonomous Region to the north. West Bengal's narrow ''Siliguri Corridor'' or Chicken's Neck separate Nepal and Bangladesh. To the east are India and Bhutan. Nepal depends on India for goods transport facilities and access to the sea, even for most goods imported from China.
== The land ==
For a small country, Nepal has tremendous geographic diversity. It rises from as low as elevation in the tropical Terai—the northern rim of the Gangetic Plain, beyond the perpetual snow line to some 90 peaks over including Earth's highest Mount Everest or ''Sagarmatha''. In addition to the continuum from tropical warmth to cold comparable to polar regions, average annual precipitation varies from as little as in the rainshadow north of the Himalaya to as much as on windward slopes.〔(Dahal )〕
Along a south-to-north transect, Nepal can be divided into three belts: Terai, Hill and Mountain Regions. In the other direction it is divided into three major river systems, from east to west: ''Koshi'', ''Gandaki/Narayani'' and ''Karnali'' (including the ''Mahakali/Sarda'' along the western border), all tributaries of the Ganges. The Ganges-''Yarlung Zangbo/Brahmaputra'' watershed largely coincides with the Nepal-Tibet border, however several Ganges tributaries rise inside Tibet.
