Nepali Mountaineering

Nepal's history stretches from the ancient Licchavi and Malla kingdoms through Shah unification, 104 years of Rana oligarchy, the democratic opening of 1990, the decade-long Maoist civil conflict, the abolition of the monarchy and the birth of a federal republic. Our Nepal history section covers all of it — in scholarly monographs, popular histories, biographies of kings and revolutionaries, and primary source translations. Many titles are published in Nepal and unavailable elsewhere. Essential reading for anyone serious about understanding this Himalayan nation.
