History and Purpose of the Nepal and Tibet Study Circle

The NTPSC was formed in 1974 as “The Nepal Study Circle” with the aim of encouraging the study of stamps and postal history of Nepal. Since then Tibet was included in the name.

We are a postal society with a world wide membership of approx. 150 and the vehicle that keeps the members informed of the latest information is a quarterly magazine “Postal Himal”. Postal Auctions are also held two or three times a year, which apart from helping to finance the society they are a good source of good quality material. Meetings are often held in conjunction with international exhibitions when a number of our members are attending that particular exhibition. The NTPSC is affiliated with:

American Philatelic Society, Affiliate # 122

British Philatelic Federation, Affiliate # 435
