LAND
AND RESOURCES Nepal covers an area of 147,181 sq km
(56,827 sq mi). It is divided into four topographical
zones: the Great Himalayas, the Middle Himalayas, the
Outer Himalayas, and the Tarāi. The highest zone
is the Great Himalayas, in northern Nepal. Eight of
the ten highest mountains in the world are located either
wholly or partially in this area. These include Mount
Everest (8,850 m/29,035 ft), Kānchenjunga (8,598
m/28,209 ft), Makālu (8,481 m/27,825 ft), Dhaulāgiri
(8,172 m/26,811 ft), and Annapūrna 1 (8,091 m/26,545
ft).
To the south of the Great Himalayas are the Middle Himalayas,
dominated in Nepal by the Mahābhārat Range,
with peaks averaging less than 3,000 m (9,900 ft). Several
rivers run through Nepal’s Middle Himalayas including
the Seti, Karnali, Bheri, Kali Gandaki, Trisuli, Sun
Kosi, Arun, and Tamur. In the Middle Himalayan zone
most rivers converge and form four main river systems:
the Karnali, Narayani, Gandaki, and Kosi, which traverse
the Mahābhārat Range through deep gorges,
making navigation difficult or impossible.
