About This Challenge

The timeline game we have created is a fun and educational way to learn about the history of Nepal. By placing events in their correct chronological order, players can gain a better understanding of the country’s rich and diverse past.

  • Players will learn about key events such as the unification of Nepal by King Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768.
  • They will also discover important milestones like the signing of the Sugauli Treaty with the British in 1815, which defined Nepal’s current borders.
  • If applicable, players may also encounter lesser-known events like the establishment of the first democratically elected government in Nepal in 1959.
