Countries that border Nepal

2 land neighbours: China and India. Each one has a page of its own.

Why this one is hard

2 neighbours to keep in the right order.

Its 2 land borders are joint 8th-most in Asia — level with the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mongolia, Palestine and Yemen. Of the 1 possible pairings among them, 1 is itself a border, which is what turns a list into a knot. China is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Nepal, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.
