They were buddists earlier later hinduism took over buddism. Simple rule during those days what ever religion the king followed or allowed, people are bound to follow. latest periods of Nepal rule was under Hindu kings, you would be surprised to know that they even implemented "manusmruti" there. So obviously hindu religion is dominated in Nepal.

Malla period King jayasthiti malla 14th century, i cant say there is direct inscription of "Manusmriti is implemented in this country", but if you read "manusmriti" book and then compare the "Manab Nyasashtra" original text is currently available in Nepal museum ( translations available online) you will find lot of similarities on punishments based on (Varna) caste system. And there are historical records of Indian Brahmins helping him to establish Judicial Code for his kingdom. 

Sample of the original manuscript

 

 

"Jayasthiti Malla was credited by some of the later chronicles—and by the present people of Bhaktapur—with the establishment of many of the laws and customs of Bhaktapur, particularly those involving caste regulations, with standardizing weights and measures, with establishing an order. Let us review some of the achievements traditionally ascribed to him. "Each caste [in Bhaktapur now] followed its own customs. To the low castes dwellings, dress and ornaments were assigned, according to certain rules. No sleeves were allowed to the coats of Kasais [butchers].[26] No caps, coats, shoes, nor gold ornaments were permitted to Podhyas [untouchables]. Kasais, Podhyas, and Kulus were not allowed to have houses roofed with tiles, and they were obliged to show proper respect to the people of castes higher than their own" ("Wright's chronicle," Wright 1972, 182f.). The chronicles credit Jayasthiti Malla with dividing the people into a large number of "castes" (sixty-four in some accounts, thirty-six in others). "The four highest castes [here varna[*] is meant; see chap. 5] were prohibited from drinking water from the hands of low caste people, such as Podhyas or Charmakaras. If a woman of a high caste had intercourse with a man of a lower caste, she was degraded to the caste of her seducer" (Wright 1972, 186f.). According to the Padmagiri chronicle, "He constituted a fine for all such persons as follow the profession of others, as if a blacksmith follow the profession of goldsmith, he shall be fined" (Hasrat 1970, 56).

 I mean there are extensive records regarding laws. If you are interested you need to do more research.
