Steps to create a well-drawn Map of Nepal for Exams

The process of drawing a Map is rather simple. All that you need is a few graph lines and knowledge of some shapes. The following is a step-by-step process of drawing a Map of Nepal.

Step 1 – Make the Graph

This is the step where you prepare the graph in which you will be drawing the Map. To make a graph, you have to:

Make a rectangle of the dimensions 12x 20 Centimeters
Divide the breath of the rectangle into 3 equal parts of 4 Centimeters each
Divide the length of the rectangle into parts of 4 Centimeter, 6 Centimeter, 6 Centimeter, and 4 Centimeter

Once you do this, you will have a Graph that looks like this

Step 2 – Mark the Graph

Mark the graph at the places as shown below

These marks will be the points where you will be inserting the first part of the Map.

Step 3 – Draw the Shape as shown

Draw the shapes as shown below

These shapes indicate the locations of Karnali, Dhaulagiri, Gandaki, Janakpur, Mechi, Mahakali.

Step 4 – Add some more shapes and connect them

This is the step where you fill in the map of Nepal.

Step 5 – Fill in the additional details

In this final step, you add the index, show the border and the direction, and add in the necessary details.

With this, you complete drawing the Map of Nepal. Now it should be noted that the map doesn’t have to be completely accurate. As long as the shape resembles the actual map it is good enough.

Final Words

As you may have noticed by now, there are things that you need to memorize in this process of drawing the map of Nepal. However, you may also have noticed that these can help you locate the general position of a lot of places in Nepal.

By following this step, you will create a neat drawing of the Map and easily score points as long as you know the general location of the things you need to insert in the Map.

There are a few things that you need to consider while drawing a Map. A map without an index or well recognizable borders is nothing but a weird shape with weird symbols.

An index helps you know what the symbols mean and well-drawn borders help you distinguish locations clearly. Along with this you also need to indicate the direction and scale of the map to make it readable as well.
