National Flower of Nepal

The national flower of Nepal is the rhododendron, known locally as Lorai. It is a vibrant, red-pink flowering shrub that blossoms across the country's mountainous regions. Symbolizing resilience and beauty, the rhododendron thrives in Nepal's diverse climate, especially in high-altitude areas. Its prominence reflects the country's rich natural heritage and the importance placed on preserving unique flora. The rhododendron was designated as Nepal's national flower in 1975, representing strength, elegance, and the deep connection between Nepalese culture and its natural environment.
