Nepal is initially specified in the late Vedic content, Atharvaveda Parisista as a spot sending out covers, and in the post-Vedic Atharva Siras Upanisad. In Samudragupta's Allahabad engraving it is said as a bordering nation. The 'Skanda Purana' has a different section known as 'Nepal Mahatmya', which clarifies in more insights about the magnificence and force of Nepal. Nepal is additionally said in Hindu messages, for example, the Narayana Puja.

As indicated by Gopal Vansawali, the lineage of Nepalese government, the most punctual pilgrims in Nepal were Gopalas, trailed by Mahispala, trailed by Kirata. Tibeto-Burman individuals likely lived in Nepal 2,500 years ago. Even though, there is no archaeologic proof of Gopala, Mahispala or Kirata rulers other than later records (Lichchhavi and Malla time) specifying them

Around 500 BCE, little kingdoms and confederations of groups emerged in the southern areas of Nepal. From one of these, the Shakya commonwealth, emerged a sovereign named Siddhartha Gautam (customarily dated 563–483 BCE), who later disavowed his status to lead an austere life and came to be known as the Buddha ("the stirred one" or "the edified one"). It is accepted that the 7th Kirata ruler, Jitedasti, was on the throne in the Nepal valley at the time. By 250 BCE, the southern locales went under the impact of the Mauryan Empire of northern India, and Nepal later on turned into an ostensible vassal state under the Gupta Empire in the fourth century CE. Starting in the third century CE, rulers called the Lichchhavis administered the Kathmandu Valley and the locale encompassing focal Nepal. 

There is a very nitty gritty portrayal of the kingdom of Nepal in the record of the eminent Chinese Buddhist pioneer friar Xuanzang, dating from c. 645 CE. Stone engravings in the Kathmandu Valley are critical hotspots for the historical backdrop of Nepal. 

The Licchavi tradition went into decrease in the late eighth century, likely because of Tibetan predominance, and was trailed by a Newari or Thakuri period, from 879 CE (Nepal Samvat 1), in spite of the fact that the degree of their control over the present-day nation is uncertain. In the eleventh century it appears to have incorporated the Pokhara region. By the late eleventh century, southern Nepal went under the impact of the Chalukya Empire of southern India. Under the Chalukyas, Nepal's religious foundation changed as the lords disparaged Hinduism rather than the Buddhism winning around the

Medieval

In the mid 12th century, pioneers rose in far western Nepal whose names finished with the Sanskrit postfix malla ("wrestler"). These lords solidified their energy and administered throughout the following 200 years, until the kingdom fragmented into two dozen insignificant states. Another Malla administration, starting with Jayasthiti, developed in the Kathmandu valley in the late 14th century, and quite a bit of focal Nepal again went under a brought together run the show. Be that as it may, in 1482 the domain was isolated into three kingdoms: Patan, Bhaktapur, and Kathmandu.

Kingdom of Nepal

In the mid-18th century, Prithvi Narayan Shah, a Gorkha lord, set out to assemble what might get to be display day Nepal. He set out on his main goal in the wake of looking for arms and support from India and purchasing the nonpartisanship of bordering Indian kingdoms. After a few ridiculous fights and attacks, eminently the Battle of Kirtipur, he figured out how to vanquish the Kathmandu Valley in 1769. A definite record of Prithvi Narayan Shah's triumph was composed by Father Giuseppe who was an onlooker to the war.

The Gorkha domain came to its stature when the northern India regions of Kumaon and Garhwal in the west to Sikkim in the east got to be under Nepal tenet. 

At its most extreme degree, Greater Nepal reached out from the Tista River in the east, to Kangara, over the Sutlej River in the west and additionally further south into the Terai fields and north of the Himalayas than at present. A question with Tibet over the control of mountain passes and internal Tingri valleys of Tibet constrained the Chinese Qing Emperor in Peking (now Beijing) to begin the Sino-Nepalese War convincing the Nepalese to withdraw and pay substantial reparations to Peking. 

Contention between Kingdom of Nepal and the British East India Company over the extension of minor states bordering Nepal inevitably prompted the Anglo-Nepalese War (1815–16). At first the British disparaged the Nepalese and were soundly vanquished until conferring more military assets than they had foreseen requiring. They were incredibly inspired by the valor and fitness of their foes. Consequently started the notoriety of "Gurkhas" as wild and merciless officers. The war finished in the Treaty of Sugauli, under which Nepal ceded as of late caught parts of Sikkim and grounds in Terai and in addition the privilege to enlist fighters. Madheshis, however having upheld the British East India Company amid the war, had their territories skilled to Nepalese. 

Factionalism inside the illustrious family prompted a time of shakiness. In 1846 a plot was found uncovering that the ruling ruler had wanted to topple Jung Bahadur Kunwar, a quick rising military pioneer. This prompted the Kot Massacre; furnished conflicts between military staff and overseers faithful to the ruler prompted the execution of a few hundred sovereigns and chieftains around the nation. Jung Bahadur Kunwar rose triumphant and established the Rana Lineage and was later known as Jung Bahadur Rana. 

The ruler was made a main figure, and the post of Prime Minister was made capable and inherited. The Ranas were staunchly star British and helped them amid the Indian Sepoy Rebellion in 1857 (and later in both World Wars). A few sections of the Terai Region populated with non-Nepalese people groups were skilled to Nepal by the British as an agreeable signal, due to her military help to maintain British control in India amid the Sepoy Rebellion. In 1923, the United Kingdom and Nepal formally consented to an arrangement of kinship, which superseded the Sugauli Treaty marked in 1816. 

Nepalese eminence in the 1920s 

Subjugation was abrogated in Nepal in 1924. Nevertheless obligation servitude notwithstanding including debt holders' youngsters has been a tireless social issue in the Terai. Rana tenet was checked by oppression, intemperance, monetary misuse and religious persecution.

In the late 1940s, recently rising genius majority rule government developments and political gatherings in Nepal were condemning of the Rana dictatorship. Then, with the intrusion of Tibet by China in the 1950s, India tried to offset the apparent military danger from its northern neighbor by taking preemptive ventures to state more impact in Nepal. India supported both King Tribhuvan (ruled 1911–55) as Nepal's new ruler in 1951 and another government, basically including the Nepali Congress Party, in this way ending Rana dominion in the kingdom. 

Following quite a while of force wrangling between the lord and the administration, King Mahendra (ruled 1955–72) scrapped the just analysis in 1959, and a "partyless" Panchayat framework was made to represent Nepal until 1989, when the "Jan Andolan" (People's Movement) constrained King Birendra (ruled 1972–2001) to acknowledge sacred changes and to secure a multiparty parliament that took situate in May 1991.In 1991–92, Bhutan removed about 100,000 Bhutanese nationals of Nepali drop, a large portion of whom have been living in seven outcast camps in eastern Nepal ever since.

In 1996, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) began an offer to supplant the imperial parliamentary framework with an individuals' republic by brutal means. This prompted the long Nepal Civil War and more than 12,000 passings. On 1 June 2001, there was a slaughter in the illustrious castle. Ruler Birendra, Queen Aiswarya, and seven different individuals from the imperial family were murdered. The culprit was Crown Prince Dipendra, who submitted suicide (he kicked the bucket after three days) instantly from that point. This upheaval was asserted to have been Dipendra's reaction to his guardians' refusal to acknowledge his decision of wife. In any case there are theory and questions among Nepalese residents about who was mindful. 

Taking after the slaughter, King Birendra's sibling Gyanendra acquired the throne. On 1 February 2005, King Gyanendra released the whole government and expected full official forces to subdue the vicious Maoist movement, however this activity was unsuccessful in light of the fact that a stalemate had grown in which the Maoists were immovably dug in expansive regions of wide open yet couldn't unstick the military from various towns and the biggest urban communities. In September 2005, the Maoists proclaimed a three-month one-sided truce to arrange. 

Because of the 2006 vote based system development King Gyanendra consented to give up sovereign energy to the individuals. On 24 April 2006 the broke down House of Representatives was reestablished. Utilizing its recently obtained sovereign power, on 18 May 2006 the House of Representatives collectively voted to shorten the force of the lord and proclaimed Nepal a mainstream state, consummation now is the right time respected authority status as a Hindu Kingdom. On 28 December 2007, a bill was gone in parliament to change Article 159 of the constitution – supplanting "Procurements with respect to the King" by "Procurements of the Head of the State" – proclaiming Nepal a government republic, and subsequently abrogating the monarchy. The bill came into power 

Republic

The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) won the biggest number of seats in the Constituent Assembly race hung on 10 April 2008, and framed a coalition government which included the greater part of the gatherings in the CA. In spite of the fact that demonstrations of viciousness happened amid the preelectoral period, decision spectators noticed that the decisions themselves were notably tranquil and "all around conveyed out".

The recently chose Assembly met in Kathmandu on 28 May 2008, and, after a surveying of 564 constituent Assembly individuals, 560 voted to frame another government, with the monarchist Rastriya Prajatantra Party, which had four individuals in the get together, enrolling a contradicting note. By then, it was proclaimed that Nepal had turned into a common and comprehensive fair republic, with the administration declaring a three-day open occasion from 28 to 30 May.[citation needed] The lord was from that point given 15 days to empty the Narayanhiti Royal Palace, to re-open it as an open museum.

In any case, political pressures and subsequent force imparting fights have proceeded in Nepal. In May 2009, the Maoist-drove government was toppled and another coalition government with all major political gatherings notwithstanding the Maoists was formed. Madhav Kumar Nepal of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) was made the Prime Minister of the coalition government. In February 2011 the Madhav Kumar Nepal Government was toppled and Jhala Nath Khanal of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) was made the Prime Minister.[citation needed]In August 2011 the Jhala Nath Khanal Government was toppled and Baburam Bhattarai of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) was made the Prime Minister. 

The political gatherings were not able to draft a constitution in the stipulated time. This prompted disintegration of the Constituent Assembly to clear route for new races to make progress toward another political order. Contrary to the hypothesis of partition of forces, then Chief Justice Khila Raj Regmi was made the administrator of the overseer government. Under Mr. Regmi, the country saw tranquil decisions for the constituent get together. The major powers in the prior constituent get together (in particular CPN Maoists and Madhesi gatherings) dropped to inaccessible 3rd and even below.

In February 2014, after agreement was come to between the two noteworthy gatherings in the constituent gathering, Sushil Koirala was confirmed as the new PM of Nepal.
