Nepal, Aug. 15 -- Google has rolled out its Street View feature in Nepal, allowing anyone with a phone or computer to explore Kathmandu's bustling alleys, the Terai's plains and roads, snow-capped Himalayan peaks through immersive, 360-degree panoramas. Users can access the newest imagery by opening Google Maps and selecting the 360 layer or dragging the yellow "Pegman" onto the map.

Google's announcement in a blog post on Friday highlights the new feature's ability to "immerse" in Nepal's architectural heritage - from ancient temples to lively markets - as well as to virtually navigate urban streets and scenic highways, expanding how residents, tourists and the Nepali diaspora can preview places, plan trips and share locations.
