Valleys of Nepal
20 notable valleys of Nepal, from the country's two largest urban valleys — Kathmandu and Pokhara — to Inner Terai valleys like Chitwan and Dang, and remote Himalayan valleys like Tsum and Nar Phu.
On this list: Wikipedia's own "Valleys of Nepal" article is a stub with detail on just one valley. This index is built instead from Wikipedia's "Category: Valleys of Nepal" (the valleys with their own dedicated articles) plus a handful of other well-documented ones — a shorter, curated list rather than an exhaustive one, since the source material for this topic is genuinely thin.
