The word Nepal is derived from Nepa, the old name of Katmandu valley. “Nepal” derived from the Sanskrit nipalaya, which means “at the foot of the mountains” or “abode at the foot” or in Tibetan niyampal, which means “holy land”. A third theory suggests that Nepal came from compounding the words NE, which means “wool”, and PAL, which means a “tented house” – Thus the word “NE-PAL”.
