Malneta

Malneta was one of the small hill principalities of western Nepal, in the country of Salyan. It belonged to the Baise Rajya, the group of kingdoms of the Karnali and Bheri basins whose members included Jumla, Jajarkot and Musikot. The earlier Khasa kingdom had ruled much of this mountain country from its capital at Sinja before breaking into smaller states. Malneta itself was founded in the eighteenth century, in 1733.
