Sources & data note
The straight-line (as-the-crow-flies) distance is computed with the haversine formula on WGS84 coordinates and is exact. Actual road distance is longer — Nepal's hills and river valleys typically add 40–90% — so the road figure is given as an indicative range, not a routed number. Use the coordinate converter for precise point-to-point measurement.
