India–Nepal border
International boundary in South Asia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The India–Nepal border is an open international boundary running between the republics of India and Nepal. The 1,850 km (1,149.54 mi) long border includes the Himalayan territories as well as Indo-Gangetic Plain of the subcontinent.[1] The current border was delimited after the Sugauli treaty of 1816 between Nepal and the British Raj.[citation needed] Following Indian independence, the prevailing border was recognised as the international border between the Kingdom of Nepal and the Dominion of India.
