Nepal Travel Map

Nepal travel map by ITMB. Scale 1:530,000

Nepal on an indexed, double-sided map with an enlargement for Kathmandu Valley and a street plan of the capital. The map divides the country east/west, with a generous overlap between the two sides. Topography is shown by elevation colouring with peak heights in metres, but, given the importance of geography to the country’s tourism, relatively few mountain ranges are named and well known peaks are missing. 

Stranger still is the lack of many familiar places associated with Nepal’s main trekking areas. In the Everest region neither Lukla nor Namche Bazar appear on the map, although Lukla is listed in the index. Similarly, familiar place names are missing from the route of the Annapurna circuit. 

The map shows the country’s road network, from metalled roads to selected local tracks. Airports and landing strips are marked. Symbols highlight main places of interest including temples and campsites. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 30’ 

Also included is an enlargement showing Kathmandu Valley in greater detail and a street plan of the city, both annotated with places of interest.
