I'm new to LaTeX and I'm trying to learn it. It is very interesting. I have to type a lot of documents that contain Devnagari text, more precisely Nepali Language. How can I type it using LaTeX, so that I could make beautiful document in my own language?

I recommend using XeTeX. Have a look at: Getting Started to XeTeX for Devanagari. – Stefan Kottwitz♦ Dec 29 '11 at 18:04

You could use Charles Wikner's Sanskrit package, available from CTAN. With this package, you would enter transliterated text and it would be converted into Devanagari (it does ligatures properly if I remember correctly).

The documentation is in the file sktdoc.ps.

edit: if you use Debian or Ubuntu, the same package is available with the name "latex-sanskrit"
