Nepal-geojson NPM

Nepal GeoJSON

Lightweight (~600KB) packed geojson coordinates of Nepal's district and province boundaries for use with your map.
Includes all 77 districts with their headquarters as well as all 7 provinces.
Can be used as a NPM package in your project or you can download the generated geojson files and use them as per your need.
Since this is a lightweight version of the map, some tradeoff has been made so there isn't minute level accuracy of this map.
For GaunPalikas and high resolution version of the map refer to the highres-geojson folder which has been scraped from https://sthaniya.gov.np/ and thus differs slightly from the lightweight version of the map and is a lot heavier since it hasn't been compressed (Work on compression is pending).

Example Usage with Google Maps

Installation

npm i nepal-geojson

Usage

Basic Usage

const nepalGeojson = require('nepal-geojson');
const districtsGeojson = nepalGeojson.districts(); // to get all the geojson for all the districts 
// Now use the district level data to plot it in the map
console.log(districtGeojson);

Advanced Usage

const nepalGeojson = require('nepal-geojson');
const countryGeojson = nepalGeojson.country(); // to get geojson for country without province or district level boundaries
const countryWithProvincesGeojson = nepalGeojson.countryWithProvinces(); // to get geojson for country with province level boundaries
const countryWithDistrictsGeojson = nepalGeojson.countryWithDistricts(); // to get the geojson for country with district level boundaries. It's same as nepalGeojson.districts();
const districtsGeojson = nepalGeojson.districts(); // to get all the geojson for all the districts
const provinceOneGeojson = nepalGeojson.province(1); // to get the geojson for boundary of province 1
const provinceOneGeojson = nepalGeojson.provinceWithDistricts(1); // to get the geojson for province 1 with district boundaries
const kathmanduDistrictGeojson = nepalGeojson.district('KATHMANDU'); // to get the geojson of a single district
// not only does it provide geojson files but also has helper functions to extract necessary details about the districts
const districtsList = nepalGeojson.listDistricts(); // to get an array of all the district names
const districtsInfo = nepalGeojson.districtsInfo(); // to get an array of objects of headquarter and province info for all 77 districts
const dhankutaDistrictInfo = nepalGeojson.districtInfo('DHANKUTA'); // to get info about Dhankuta district
const provincesDistrictsInfo = nepalGeojson.listProvincesWithDistricts(); // returns an array of arrays of provinces with province details each containing info objects of containing districts
const provinceDistrictsInfo = nepalGeojson.listProvinceWithDistricts(1); // returns array of info objects of districts in province 1 as well as province information

If you want to use it to generate geojson files in the CLI follow the following steps.

npm i -g nepal-geojson
# to build geojson for country without district or province level boundaries
nepal-geojson country
# to build geojson for country with province level boundaries
nepal-geojson country:withProvinces
# to build geojson for country with district level boundaries
nepal-geojson country:withDistricts
# to build geojson for a particular district
nepal-geojson district Kathmandu
# to get the geojson for province 1 boundaries
nepal-geojson province 1
# to get the geojson for province 1 with its districts
nepal-geojson province:withDistricts 1

The built geojson files are stored in geojson folder.

You could also clone the repo and run the following commands to generate the maps.

# to clone the repo

cd nepal-geojson
npm install
# to build geojson for country without district or province level boundaries
npm run country
# to build geojson for country with province level boundaries
npm run country:withProvinces

Download Static Geojson

If you don't want to use this npm package and just want the geojson file for the entire country or a particular province and associated districts I've got you covered. I have built those and uploaded them to generated-geojson folder. You can find them here.
