The feature layer has been extracted from the 1x1 km grid data of the population distribution of Nepal. The data has been generated using the population census 2011 of Nepal and the landuse 2010 data from ICIMOD. Various other data source such as SRTM DEM 90 meter, Settlement data and protected area has also been used on the model.
