Description
OpenStreetMap exports provide cultural and historic places across Nepal, including museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data using OSM tags for tourism, amenity, historic, and heritage. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote locations.
Use Cases
