Geographical Features and Climate 1. Taking all factors into consideration it is apparent that nature has interposed some major obstacles to the provision of an adequate trans- portation network in Nepal. 2. Some of the geographical and climatic features which have impli- cations for the development of transport in Nepal are the following: Nepal is a land-locked country, with some of the most rugged and difficult mountainous terrain in the world. Topographically the country divides into three principal river basins: 1) the Kosi, 2) the Gandak, and 3) the Karnali. There are also a few lesser basins. Generally these basins run north and south. Crossing these basins are five main longitudinal belts: 1) the "Terai," which is low, flat, fertile land adjacent to the border of India; 2) the forested foothills ranging from the Terai to about 1,000 ft. eleva- tion; 3) the rugged Siwalik and Mahabarat mountain ranges, rising up to 10,000 ft., referred to as "the Hills" between which are some valleys, called the "Inner Terai"; 4) the mountainous area between the Mahabarat range and the Himalayas which is formed by the valleys of the great Himalayan rivers and their tributaries which are often narrow with steep slopes; and 5) the main Himalayan mountain range, rising to 29,000 ft. In the Terai, due to the low slope of the land and heavy water flow during the wet season, some rivers have a tendency to shift their beds. There is wide variation in water depth during flood season. The climate ranges from the sub-tropical in the Terai to arctic in the Himalayas. More than 80 per cent of the rainfall occurs during the monsoon season (see Table A-4). The monsoon season extends for a four-month period from June to early October and is a dominating factor from the point of view of air and road transportation. - 83 - B. Population 3. A census in 1961 estimated total population at 9.4 million (Table A-1). The population is almost entirely rural, with only 3 per cent living in urban areas (Table A-2). 4. Principal population concentrations are shown by the shaded areas on Map No. 3 which has been abstracted from information on the Indian survey maps. Some 59 per cent of the population lives in the Hills with 27 per cent of the cultivated land, 15 per cent lives in the Kathmandu Valley with 2 per cent of the cultivated land, and 36 per cent lives in the Terai with 62 per cent of the cultivated land. 5. These concentrations reflect historic conditions and will change gradually with the developments in malaria eradication, industrializa- tion, and irrigation. Outside of Kathmandu itself, there are no major cities, though there are several smaller urban centers located in the Terai along the Indian border, and a few townships are beginning to emerge in the foothills and hill areas, where there is some concentration of new economic activity. 6. The 1961 census put the current rate of population growth at 1.6 per cent per annum. For the purpose of this report the rate of population growth 1965-69 is assumed to be 1.9 per cent, giving a 1970 population of 10.9 million, and a 2.2 per cent rate of growth from 1970-74 giving a 1975 population of 12.2 million (see Table A-3). These assumptions give a total growth of 1 million in the span of the Second Plan period, and 1.3 million in the subsequent five-year period. It is assumed that a large part of the 1965-69 population increase will be absorbed in the rural areas. C. National Income 7. A very tentative official estimate placed the 1961/62 Gross Do- mestic Product (based on market prices) at NRs 3,680 million, giving a per capita income of NRs 390.4 or U.S.$51.37 (see Table B-1). The agri- cultural and forestry sectors were estimated to have contributed 63.5 per cent of the total product. Observation and comparison with neighbor- ing countries based on personal judgments indicate that even at the date of the estimate the absolute level of income may have been higher than implied by these figures. Housing standards in Nepal are generaIly better than in neighboring countries and the abject misery evident in countries with similar income levels is largely absent. It seems probable that the method of computation used, coupled with incomplete data, might have re- sulted in too low a figure for the incomes, particularly by imputing too low a value for output in the subsistence sector.

    TITLE: Trekking for Smallpox in Nepal AUTHOR: Jay Friedman LOCATION: Nepal TIME PERIOD: 20 Mar – 1 April 1973 ROLE: Outbreak investigation FOREWORD In Nepal, as is well-known, the mountainous terrain made for many logistical and administrative difficulties in smallpox eradication. Conversely, from 1972 onward Nepal Smallpox Eradication Program (SEP) staff were present in all 75 districts of the country, which helped ensure that surveillance and containment of the few outbreaks that occurred in some of the mountainous areas would be well done. One of the best examples of this was an outbreak in Jurali Village, Latamandu Panchayat, Doti District, Seti Zone in early 1973. (At the time Nepal was divided into four Regions, 14 Zones (“Anchal” in Nepali), 75 districts and, within each district, a number of "panchayats", which in turn are sub-divided into nine wards and a number of villages.) A total of 13 days were spent going to and returning from the outbreak area by Dr. Benu Bahadur Karki, several members of a surveillance team and me. The story is as follows: THE TALE The SEP office in Kathmandu was notified of the outbreak via a telegram from our district office in the town of Silgadi Doti. Because Doti District is in the remote western hills of Nepal and difficult to reach from Kathmandu, my boss, Dr. M. Sathianathan (known to one and all as Sathy), persuaded his boss, the WHO Representative Dr. Peter Kim, to charter an airplane to transport us there. On March 20, 1973, at 12.30 PM, Dr. Karki, the surveillance team and I left for Doti in a Pilatus Porter of Royal Nepal Airlines.

  • River Culture in Nepal
    Nepalese Culture Vol. XIV : 1-12, 2021 Central Department of NeHCA, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/nc.v14i0.35187 River Culture in Nepal Kamala Dahal- Ph.D Associate Professor, Patan Multipal Campus, T.U. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most of the world civilizations are developed in the river basins. However, we do not have too big rivers in Nepal, though Nepalese culture is closely related with water and rivers. All the sacraments from birth to the death event in Nepalese society are related with river. Rivers and ponds are the living places of Nepali gods and goddesses. Jalkanya and Jaladevi are known as the goddesses of rivers. In the same way, most of the sacred places are located at the river banks in Nepal. Varahakshetra, Bishnupaduka, Devaghat, Triveni, Muktinath and other big Tirthas lay at the riverside. Most of the people of Nepal despose their death bodies in river banks. Death sacrement is also done in the tirthas of such localities. In this way, rivers of Nepal bear the great cultural value. Most of the sacramental, religious and cultural activities are done in such centers. Religious fairs and festivals are also organized in such a places. Therefore, river is the main centre of Nepalese culture. Key words: sacred, sacraments, purity, specialities, bath. Introduction The geography of any localities play an influencing role for the development of culture of a society. It affects a society directly and indirectly. In the beginning the nomads passed their lives for thousands of year in the jungle.
