Nepal’s roots trace back to the Lichhavi dynasty in the 4th century. Nepal’s early history saw the rise and fall of various kingdoms and dynasties. In the 18th century, King Prithvi Narayan Shah unified the nation creating modern Nepal.
 
Throughout the centuries, Nepal maintained its independence from colonial rule, making it a unique and sovereign state. However, it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that Nepal transitioned from a monarchy to a democratic republic. The country’s history is a blend of Hindu and Buddhist traditions that have left a mark on its architecture, art, and way of life.
