Nepathya （Nepali: नेपथ्य, also spelled as Nepathaya） is a Nepalese folk rock band that was formed in the early 1990s by three students from Pokhara while studying in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Nepathya was formed by Deepak Rana （now a chopper pilot）, Bhim Poon （settled in Hongkong） and Amrit Gurung.
They started recording songs which after 25 years have made them the greatest band ever of Nepal.
Nepathya is best known for blending folk melodies with modern western-influenced rock music.
Nepathya has enjoyed both commercial and critical success.
Nepathya is well known for contemporary tunes that have strong ties with indigenous music and songs sung using regional dialects from rural Nepal.
The moving force behind this band is Amrit Gurung who is generally from Pokhara, （Pumdi Bhumbi） （Nepal） who wears Gandhian frames （supposed
to have been presented to him from one of his aunts who was a staunch follower of Mahatma Gandhi） and sings about peace and harmony.
He is the only currently active founding member of the band.
His songs encompass all of Nepal and are not limited to Kathmandu Valley.
By hobby, he is a photographer and a traveler.
He has been to more than 70 out of the 77 districts of Nepal, most of them on foot.
Nepathya has seen many changes in its band's line up.
Till date, more than 19 members have joined and left the band.
But the founder and the brain behind Nepathya is unfazed.
"Being in Nepathya is like being part of a serious journey. Anyone who deviates from team spirit and artistic commitment finds it hard to stay with the team", says Gurung.
They have toured the UK, the US, Australia, Japan,Israel, Germany, Finland, India among others with their live performance.
They have performed in the United States in Summer 2012 and they became the first Nepali band/artist to have performed in Wembley ...
