Nepali Carpet or Nepali Rug is one of the eastern rugs that woven in Nepal.
A country located on the northern border of India and the southern border of Tibet. The major urban and weaving centers are the capital Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Patan. Tibetan carpets are woven in Nepal by refugees from Tibet who immigrated in 1959 and 1960. Rugs are woven in the traditional Tibetan manner with many traditional designs, though bright synthetic colors are used. The pile is Himalayan wool on a cotton foundation. The typical size is 3 feet by 6 feet. Commercial importers may describe these rugs as “Tibetan” even though they are woven in Nepal.
