This study compiles 117 inventories (2010–2021) and shows large national coverage gaps, 40% of Nepal was only mapped once, often not in low-susceptibility areas, with focus skewed to the 2015 Gorkha region and major highways. Estimates a baseline areal density of ~0.05 landslides/km² (~6,000 landslides nationally) and calls for broader, open, standardized inventories.
