An interactive map of Nepal you can actually use: switch between the 7 provinces, 77 districts and 750+ local levels (metropolitan cities, municipalities and rural municipalities), tap any area to see its name in English and Nepali with its province and district, and search any district or palika to jump straight to it. Then flip to Quiz mode and test yourself — the map asks "click on Ilam" and scores you out of 10.
Everything loads with the page — provinces, district boundaries and palika boundaries are bundled data, so the map is fast, free, and needs no sign-up.
Provinces (प्रदेश): all seven — Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpashchim — each in its own colour. Districts (जिल्ला): all 77, coloured by province, with Nepali names. Local levels (स्थानीय तह): more than 750 units — 6 metropolitan cities (महानगरपालिका), 11 sub-metropolitan cities, 276 municipalities (नगरपालिका) and 460 rural municipalities (गाउँपालिका) — plus national parks and reserves.
Geography of Nepal appears in nearly every Lok Sewa Aayog exam, school social-studies course and general-knowledge round. Quiz mode turns this map into practice: it names a random district (in Nepali and English) and you click where it is. Ten questions, instant feedback — a wrong click shows you the right answer in green so you learn as you play. Switch the level to Provinces for an easier warm-up round.
Since the 2015 constitution, Nepal is a federal republic with 7 provinces, 77 districts and 753 local levels: 6 metropolitan cities, 11 sub-metropolitan cities, 276 municipalities and 460 rural municipalities, which are further divided into 6,743 wards. The provinces replaced the old 5 development regions and 14 zones, and two districts were split (Nawalparasi and Rukum), taking the count from 75 to 77.
Find which palika you're standing in with Where Am I in Nepal, check road distances between cities with the Nepal Distance Calculator, measure a plot with Measure Land on Map, and practise for the written exam with the Driving License Test.
77. The 2015 constitution's federal structure split Nawalparasi into Nawalpur and Nawalparasi West, and Rukum into East and West Rukum, increasing the old count of 75 to 77 districts across 7 provinces.
No — boundaries come from OpenStreetMap community data, simplified for fast loading. It's ideal for learning and reference, but for legal or official purposes use Survey Department maps.
Yes — that's what it's for. The quiz asks you to locate random districts (or provinces) on the blank-style map, exactly the kind of geography question Lok Sewa and school exams love.
Yes. The Local Levels view shows 750+ palikas — metropolitan and sub-metropolitan cities, municipalities and gaunpalikas — tap any one for its type, district and province.
Yes — pan and pinch-zoom work like any map app, and the quiz is tap-friendly. The boundary data is compressed to load quickly even on mobile data.
Boundaries are simplified for speed and come from community-maintained OpenStreetMap data, so minor differences from official survey maps are possible, especially in remote areas.
