Naya Muluk (Nepali: नयाँ मुलुक) is a geographical region of Nepal, which is situated in the south-western part of Nepal. The Terai land between Kali River and Rapti River was called "Naya Muluk" after 1860.[1][2]
After the Anglo-Nepalese War in 1814–1816, Nepal was forced to sign a treaty called the Sugauli Treaty in which Nepal lost one third of its geographical territory. The geographical territory was sectioned in five parts as below:
- The whole of the lowlands between the Rivers Kali and Rapti.
- The whole of the low lands lying between the Rapti and the Gunduck.
- The whole of the lowlands between the Gunduck and Coosah.
- All the low lands between the Rivers Mitchee and the Teestah.
- All the territories within the hills east of the River Mitchee and all territories west of Kali.
Sections 2 and 3 (the whole land from Rapti to Gundak and Gandak to Koshi) were restored to Nepal on December 11, 1816.
Section 1 (whole low land between the Rivers Kali and Rapti) was returned in 1860 and is called Naya Muluk.
