Nepalese carpets, or Nepali rugs, are one of the Oriental rugs 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. Some Tibetan carpets are woven in Nepal by refugees from Tibet who immigrated in the late 1950s, and the two styles have been closely linked due to the sharing of techniques and patterns between the two countries. Rugs are woven in the traditional Tibetan manner with many different designs, usually less geometric than their  Middle Eastern counterparts, although bright synthetic colors are used more and more commonly in modern times. The pile is Himalayan wool on a cotton foundation, and the size is typically 3 feet by 6 feet or less. In some instances commercial importers may describe these rugs as “Tibetan” even though they are woven in Nepal, due to their similarities.
