While Nepal as a country does not have sister cities, its major municipalities have established extensive twin-town and sister-city agreements to foster cultural and economic exchange:
* **Kathmandu** shares sister city status with Eugene (Oregon, USA), Matsumoto (Japan), Xi'an (China), Yangon (Myanmar), and Fredericksburg (Virginia, USA), among others. * **Pokhara** is twinned with Linzhi (China), Komagane (Japan), and Gangneung (South Korea). * **Lumbini** has cultural exchange ties with other global Buddhist heritage cities, including Bodh Gaya (India) and Cáceres (Spain).
