Beyond thrilled to be a 2019 @insidenatgeo Explorer & grateful to have been invited to the Singapore #ScienceTelling Bootcamp+Explorer Spotlight.
Humbling week w/ other inspiring explorers, learning from them & @NatGeo🙏🏼🌏
Couldn’t resist a stage selfie after sharing my work :)
It was truly an honor to be a part of this event, and to add some Nepali spirit to the celebration with our @TheNepaliSpirit!
EVERESTini - martini with a Kathmandu Ayla base, as served last night at the exclusive @ExplorersClub 🍸🏔️
EVERESTini — the speciality cocktail with our KATHMANDU AYLA — to toast Everest Day 2026 at the historic @ExplorersClub in New York.
We were thrilled to be a part of this international celebration of Chomolungma/Sagarmatha🙏🏼🏔️🍸
Incredible heat across India & into Nepal.
Nepal has been breaking heat records and setting new ones regularly in recent years.
Nepal is set for rain this week, but i expect it will just become very humid and hot.
“Normal” life will need a re-think under the new normal.
As the UK hits 35C it is hitting 55C in India, just a few Centigrade from causing instant death.
This is the most heavily populated country on the planet with 1.47 billion people.
More than all of North America and Europe combined.
Imagine if they all have to leave.
@officeofsinghs@MofaNepal@shisir That’s may not be enough. Alt-number plate rule for pvt vehicles may be necessary, for example.
But the question now is not just domestic effort, but what the Indian PM’s startling statement for Indians might imply for Nepal.
Demands serious attn. & discourse in Parliament.
PM Modi just asked Indians to reduce⛽️✈️use, advised adopting Covid measures, & told farmers to reduce fertilizer use.
What implications for Nepal, which depends on India for fuel & fertilizer? Where is Nepal’s Parliament & Cabinet in this? @MofaNepal

Slow down !
मैले यो हदसम्मको “एक्सन” सोचेको थिइनँ। सरकारले अध्यादेशमार्फत विश्वविद्यालय र विभिन्न शैक्षिक निकायका सबै वरिष्ठ पदाधिकारी हटाउने कदम सुधारको नाममा नै गरिएको भए पनि सामूहिक रूपमा यो स्तरमा पदमुक्त गर्नुले विश्वविद्यालयको स्वायत्तता, विधिको शासन, प्राकृतिक न्याय र संस्थागत स्थायित्वमाथि प्रश्न उठाउँछ। रोगभन्दा इलाजसँग डराउनुपर्ने अवस्था हुनु हुँदैन। यस्तो निर्णय संसद्मा राम्रो छलफल गरेर गर्नुभन्दा अध्यादेशमार्फत गर्नु अझ संवेदनशील हुन्छ किनकि यसले भविष्यमा जुनसुकै सरकारले विश्वविद्यालयहरूलाई राजनीतिक रूपमा ��ियन्त्रण गर्ने खतरनाक नजिर बसाल्न सक्छ। त्यसैले सुधार आवश्यक भए पनि त्यो स्पष्ट मापदण्ड, स्वतन्त्र मूल्यांकन, चरणबद्ध प्रक्रिया र संसदीय सुपरिवेक्षणमार्फत हुनु दिगो हुन्छ।

Absolutely the worst and rudest experience imaginable at the @united Lounge in Dulles C17. The ladies there seem to absolutely hate the concept of guest relations and courtesy. And went out if their way to le us know.
Chilling.
“…for the first time while collecting news, i experienced the police shadowing and and controlling [us], told us we had collected enough news and making us leave…”
A female journalist has written that it was her 'first time' in her career where journalists were mishandled and monitored by Police while reporting ...
An excellent feature, on @nepalitimes.
One of the finer observations and articulation of current Nepali politics [and society] i have read in recent times:

‘Homie Minister’ Sudan Gurung is a test of what happens when auramaxxing collides with accountability. The movement that installed Gurung has to decide whether its own hero is subject to the same audit it demanded of everyone else, writes Nobel Rimal.

'कान्तिपुरले प्राप्त गरेका बैंकिङ कागजातले गृहमन्त्री सुधन गुरुङको आर्थिक कारोबारबारे केही तथ्य उजागर गर्छन्, तर धेरै प्रश्नका जवाफ अझै बाँकी छन् ।'

US-Iran tensions will worsen Inflation. Nepalis w/ millions in gold, cash, assets, such as current Cabinet members, may not feel it. But Govt tax on things >Rs.100 from India can become an exercise in cruelty on the have-nots. Pls reconsider @SwarnimWagle
@madhukaru@SwarnimWagle What can you, today? And what can you, in a few months from now if/when inflation worsens?
Govt could also make rule not applicable at least make some categories - namely food, medicine, and other daily needs. @SwarnimWagle
Here is the video reading of Kantipur’s investigative report on the Home Minister’s shady finances. It’s mind boggling.
I wish @KantipurTVHD had made an effort on the English subtitles as the current one [likely automated] has many errors.
