Bipul Chettri
Nepalese musician
Bipul Chettri is an Indian singer-songwriter from Kalimpong based in Delhi who sings in the Nepali language and plays Himalayan folk rock music with a contemporary touch. His debut album, Sketches of Darjeeling, was released in July 2014 and his follow-up album, Maya in 2016 and several singles like "Basant", "Gahiro Gahiro", "Aashish", "Teesta", "Mughlan", "Neela Akash", "Salala" and "Bahra Mahina" in the following years. His EP, Samaya was released in 2021. He has since released several singles and is currently releasing his full-length album 'Pravah' in 2025-26.
Early life
Chhetri's grandfather was a poet and his grandmother used to play the sitar. His father picked up his parents' talent and used to perform in Darjeeling and Kurseong but died when bipul was very young. One of the tracks, "Ram Sailee", from his debut album, is an ode to his father.
Musical career
Bipul's voice and musical abilities were introduced to the world with his song "Wildfire (Dadelo)". It was recorded and uploaded on SoundCloud in February 2013. This laid the foundation for his debut album Sketches of Darjeeling.

Why this record matters
The phrase “nepalese musician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18596652. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2025.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
