Geography Of Nepal
Nepal measures about 800 kilometers (497 mi) along its himalayan axis by 150 to 250 kilometers (93 to 155 mi) across. With 147,181 square kilometers (56,827 sq mi) it slightly outranks the state of Arkansas. Nepal is landlocked by India on three sides and China's Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibet) 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 transit facilities and access to the sea—the Bay of Bengal—even for most goods imported from China.
