What is the .np domain?

Who can register .np domains?
The .np domains are only available to Nepalese residents and businesses with a physical address in the country. Domain registrations under .np ccTLD are free of cost and registered on a first-come-first-serve basis, but terms and conditions apply. It protects Nepalese with a legitimate local business from having their .np domain taken by a person or company that does not have a real presence in Nepal.
Why choose the .np domain?
The .np domain names are becoming increasingly popular in Nepal, where the market is rapidly expanding, and many businesses are taking advantage of this opportunity to establish themselves there.
