Does anybody have any idea on where I could get Raster and Vector maps - DEM, landcover, soil types, hydrology etc. for kathmandu valley.


Pleasee help!!!

Puchi..

You can get vector maps for: landcover, soil types, hydrology etc. for kathmandu valley from Department of Survey, Minbhawan. You have to pay for the maps.
(DOS has maps in vector format. I am sure you can convert verctor map to raster format using any appropriate GIS software.)

Hope that helps..

Hey Phuchi, not sure if you are talking about free downloadable data set for ktm valley but i think you might wanna try these links:
