Country whose capital is Katmandu (5)

I believe the answer is:

nepal

(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "Country in plane north-west of India" , "Himalayan kingdom" , "Where climbers may be" , "former kingdom" , "Country in the Himalayas, capital Katmandu" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
