Due to the influence of having been a protectorate of the United Kingdom, road signs similar to British ones can be found(References Gurkha War). Like the UK, vehicles drive on the left side.

Terrain and Place Names

  • Names of Nepali districts sometimes appear on signs (though the town name is often shown while the district name is omitted)
    • Kailali
    • Jhapa
  • Flat plains extend along the southern border, while mountain ranges spread across the north
    • Plains
    • Mountain areas

Combined with the poor image quality, district names can be hard to read.

The Himalayan mountain range runs along the northern border, while flat plains extend along the southern border.

Vegetation

  • Tall palms like areca palms are more common in the plains of the far east
  • Tea plantations are more common in the eastern region

This is based on playing the map dozens of times, so there is no official source.

Tea plantations are mostly in the eastern part of the country, particularly east of the town of Dharan (धरान)

Coffee is reportedly grown mostly in the central region(References Nepal Coffee Overview), but it is very hard to identify due to the poor image quality. Moreover, some suggest that the coffee is not grown in neat plantations(References Is this really a farm? Visiting a coffee plantation in Nepal).

Narrow down city/town

  • There is Street View coverage in Namche Bazaar (नाम्चे बजार), a base camp for Himalayan trekking

There is Street View coverage in Namche Bazaar (नाम्चे बजार), a base camp for Himalayan trekking(References Namche Bazaar). On the trekking trails, prayer flags similar to those in Bhutan can be seen. Shops sell mountaineering gear and signs display the current altitude. People around are also carrying trekking backpacks.
