Nepal is known for the world’s tallest mountain range Himalayas. It gained independence in 2008 after a Maoist insurgency. Nine members of the royal family, including the King, were murdered by a prince.

A set of 14 stamps were issued between 1959 and 1960 when Nepal entered the Universal Postal Union. This set in mint never-hinged condition has a market value of $150.30. The 5-rupee Crimson Horned Pheasant stamp in mint never-hinged condition has a market value of $100. Short sets are found in good numbers but high denomination stamps like the 5r stamp are rare. This bright coloured is very popular among topical collectors of bird stamps.
