Local Boundaries

Open, reusable administrative boundary data for Nepal's provinces, districts, and local levels, published as GeoJSON, TopoJSON, Shapefile, KML, and GeoPackage — whole-country or split per province.

Published at: https://localboundries.oknp.org

Levels included

• Provinces (7)
• Districts (77) — dissolved from local-level boundaries by district
• Local levels: Rural Municipality (Gaupalika), Municipality (Nagarpalika), Metropolitan City (Mahanagarpalika), Sub-Metropolitan City (Upamahanagarpalika)
• National parks, wildlife reserves, hunting reserves, and other protected/special areas

Site

The site is a static Astro app.

npm install
npm run dev       # local dev server
npm run build     # build to dist/
npm run preview   # preview the production build

Deployment is automatic via .github/workflows/deploy.yml on every push to gh-pages.

Data pipeline

Every downloadable file under public/data/ is generated from the source GeoJSON in source/ by scripts/generate_datasets.py:

pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
python3 scripts/generate_datasets.py

This regenerates public/data/, src/data/datasets.json (the download catalog manifest), and src/data/stats.json (the homepage stat tiles).
