Sardar Yadu Nath Khanal (August 1913 – 2 October 2004) was a pioneer Nepali diplomat, government minister, scholar and author in the modern history of Nepal.[1][2]

He is often regarded as the great pioneer to formulate the foreign policy of Nepal. Nepal is sandwiched between the two giants China and India. He was the diplomatic consultant to the government on external affairs since the time of Late King Mahendra to Late Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala.

He was born in Tanahun, Nepal. At an early age he migrated with his family to Kathmandu. Yadunath initially was an instructor at Tri Chandra College, Kathmandu. Later he entered into government service, serving as ambassador to China, India and the United States,[3] and as foreign secretary.[4][5] He was the father of Udayraj Khanal, who is an eminent professor at Tribhuvan University.
