Nepal launches #NepalCalling campaign to counter flood-driven tourism cancellations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
KATHMANDU – After a turbulent year that saw Nepal’s tourism industry battered first by the Gen Z protests and then by tensions in West Asia, Mandip Giri, managing director of Dom Himalaya Hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu, had finally begun to feel optimistic.

Within a week, about a fifth of his bookings disappeared. “Cancellation is rising each passing day
Drones take on a new role in Nepal’s disaster response—from delivering food to carrying bodies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
KATHMANDU – On Monday, an unusual scene unfolded in the skies over Devighat, Nuwakot, one of the areas devastated by last week’s floods. An unmanned aircraft flew overhead carrying a human body.

But increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves have made that livelihood harder to sustain. “I only work in the morning and evening. I can’t work during the day,” he told Kantipur Daily in May. “S
Food is now Nepal’s next biggest dependency after fuel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
KATHMANDU – Nepal’s food import bill has started climbing again after a brief slowdown triggered by India’s export restrictions.
