Soil Types of Nepal

Agriculture Scientist and development worker (even some peasant leader)  are making loud voices for soil health, some by natural and some after political agenda put forth by Indian Primeminister Narendra Modi during his visit in Nepal. Before that, I believe, knowing soil type has meaningful importance. Soil classification of Nepal by FAO and UNESCO ,1974, thus may have value to anyone planning for agricultural development (production planning) in Nepal. I happen to find it in an atlas at Book Fair at Kathmandu . As most of the maps were not important to me, I snapped these pictures taking permission from the seller. I hope it would be useful and important to interested.
