Geologically, Nepal is part of large fold blocks formed when the Indian sub-continent ploughed into the Asian continent. This movement continues, driven by the forces of plate tectonics. The pattern of the Himalayan rivers easily show some of the history of this movement.

The political formation of the Kingdom of Nepal is a different matter which I leave aside.
