The Tibetan protesters who had gathered for a prayer meeting on the outskirts of Katmandu on Tuesday started chanting anti-China slogans.
Police detained the protesters and took them away in trucks to detention centers.
There have been several similar protests in the past in Nepal. The police generally don’t charge the protesters and they are soon released.
The government has said it will continue to allow thousands of Tibetan exiles to live in Nepal but won’t let them protest against China, a friendly nation.
