history Nepal" for a not more than 12-page paper. Nepal has a long history and you can’t
include all the history of Nepal in a 12 page paper. So try to judge the topic as per yourfindings. You will need to decide on an area to focus on. Through your initial research,

your ideas which can be your next assignment. If it seems like there is too much to coverin a single paper, you need to narrow your topic even further, you should focus to theinformation that is very crucial and weights more.
