Postage stamps and postal history of Nepal
Nepal has a long postal history. The modern form of postal service was started by the Rana Prime minister Ranaudip Singh in 1878. He established the first post office which was named Nepal Hulak Ghar. In 1881, the first postal stamp was issued. As of 2020, about 1367 types of postal stamps have been issued.[1][2] Currently, the postal service is regulated by the Postal act of Nepal.[3] Nepal Post, locally known as Hulak Sewa(Nepali: हुलाक सेवा विभाग) or Daak Sewa(Nepali: डाँक सेवा) under the Ministry of Information and Communications is responsible for the postal service in Nepal.[4]
