Pakistanis in Nepal
As of 2015, the Pakistani community in Nepal numbered around a few hundred and was concentrated in and around the capital city of Kathmandu. Earlier from 2004 to 2012, the community was much smaller. Most Pakistanis tend to be businesspeople, officials, workers, volunteers or visitors. In addition, there are some Pakistanis working as diplomatic staff at the Pakistani embassy, residing in Nepal along with their families. The expatriates hailed from different parts of Pakistan, including Karachi, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta. During the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, most Pakistani nationals were evacuated from the country by Pakistani relief teams in coordination with the embassy.
