Map Of Nepal Kalapani

Kalapani is a valley that is administered by india as a part of the pithoragarh district of uttarakhand. The nepal government described india’s decision as “unilateral” and claimed that it will “defend its international border”. Nepal has issued a new national map incorporating areas also claimed by neighboring india, prompting fierce criticism from new delhi.

A day after nepal objected to the kalapani area being shown as part of the indian territory, the ministry of external affairs said that the new map issued last week accurately depicts its sovereign territory and that it has not revised its boundary with nepal. A report in the local media said kalapani was a part of the darchula district of nepal while the indian map places it under the pithoragarh. Kalapani is visible inside nepal on the map drawn by britain in 1967.

Most maps drawn by nepal show the river kali originating about 16 kilometers northwest of kalapani at limpiyadhura in the zanskar range of the himalayas.

Pandey, director, centre for south asian studies, kathmandu, speaking to etv bharat's sourabh sharma from kathmandu said, “the new political map of nepal and kalapani is likely to be an election issue in nepal. The nepal government made the claim on november 6, 2019, few days after india issued its new political map, which showed kalapani as a part of its own territory. In this, kalapani, lipu lekh and limpiyadhura of india have been shown as part of nepal. Both country’s has their own claim regarding that particular geo political importance place.
