Nepal and Tibet have old age relation because of their cultural and religious ties. Nepal had played an important role in spreading Buddhism in Tibet. After the Chinese aggression in Tibet in 1959 many Tibetans also entered Nepal crossing Himalayas to seek refuge. Nepal though was not party to 1951 United Nation Refugee Convention, however the than King of Nepal had welcomed Tibetans with open arms and Tibetan settlement were setup with help of many international agencies. Initially Tibetans were treated with adequately in Nepal but with time the treatment of Tibetans by Nepali government began to change. Policies of Nepali government towards Tibetans began to change with Chinese influence. Today there are heightened restrictions for Tibetan refugees in Nepal. Their human rights have been curtailed by Nepali government. For Tibetan refugee, Nepal now only served as a transit point to enter India.
