  • Himalayan Yew

    Taxus wallichiana

    High Mountains · High Himal & Trans-Himalaya

  • Lali Gurans

    Rhododendron arboreum

    Ficus religiosa

    Terai · Siwalik (Chure) · Middle Hills

    Shorea robusta

    Terai · Siwalik (Chure)

    The great tree of the Terai forests. Its timber is so strong that Nepali houses built from it stand for a hundred years.

  • Timur

    Zanthoxylum armatum

    Middle Hills

    A thorny shrub whose peppery seed makes your tongue tingle and go slightly numb. Nepali pickle would be lost without it.
