An avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak has claimed the lives of ten climbers, including renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja and five other Nepali climbers. As recovery efforts continue, Nepal mourns the loss of its mountaineering heroes while remembering their remarkable achievements and lasting contributions to the world of high-altitude climbing.

Nepal's bridges tell the story of the country's development from rope crossings and hand-built timber structures to a nationwide network of over 8,000 trail bridges. This piece traces that history: the first bridge at Thapathali in 1810, the Aberdeen-built suspension bridges of the early 1900s, the shift to community-led construction after 1990, and the milestone of the 10,000th trail bridge in 2023. It also looks at what's unfinished: the tuins still in use across remote districts, and the floods and failures that keep testing the network's durability.

Nepal contributes less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it remains highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. From retreating Himalayan glaciers and unpredictable monsoons to floods, landslides, and threats to agriculture and hydropower, climate change is already reshaping lives and landscapes across the country. This article explores why Nepal is particularly vulnerable, examining the role of its geography, fragile mountain ecosystems, and dependence on climate-sensitive resources. It also introduces the concept of climate justice, highlighting the unequal distribution of responsibility and risk in the global climate crisis and why Nepal's experience raises important questions about who contributes to climate change and who bears its greatest consequences.

Nepal has made significant progress in protecting the rights of marginalized communities through its 2015 Constitution. However, legal recognition does not always translate into equal experiences in everyday life. Using the Dalit, Chepang, and LGBTQI+ communities as case studies, this paper explores the gap between constitutional rights and lived reality. It argues that while laws are essential, achieving genuine inclusion also requires effective implementation, social acceptance, and long-term change in attitudes.

Before Kathmandu expanded into the dense urban landscape we know today, it was once rich in exactly these kinds of natural systems. The flood damage during the monsoon and water scarcity in the dry months both these problems should not be viewed as separate issues. Groundwater depletion and urban flooding are two symptoms of the same urban planning decisions.

This article goes through five women whose lives illustrate five distinct models of leadership: Yogmaya Neupane's early social resistance in the Rana era, Anuradha Koirala's humanitarian institution-building through Maiti Nepal, Bidya Devi Bhandari's entry into formal political power as Nepal's first female President, Radha Paudel's grassroots campaign for menstrual dignity rooted in lived experience, and Pushpa Basnet's child welfare work on behalf of children living in Nepal's prisons.

The Government of Nepal has announced a budget of Rs. 2.124 trillion for the fiscal year 2083/84, outlining its vision for economic growth, infrastructure development, technological advancement, and improved public services.

The driving forces of youth migration depend on a family's financial standing. Understanding it requires looking honestly at who is leaving, why, what they find when they get there, what they leave behind, and increasingly what happens when they try to come back.

The Sukumbasi crisis did not start in April 2026, and it will not be solved just by giving cash support. Since the 1990s, Nepal has created many commissions to address landlessness, but little has changed. All major political parties have promised land and resettlement to squatters during elections, but these promises were mostly ignored once they came into power.
