For @bbc, I wrote about Bhakki Gurung. Her earliest childhood memory is of running around the vast, wind-swept valley in the desolate borderlands of Nepal and Tibet. She remembers feeling very small, like a grain of sand, against the snowy peaks etched against cerulean blue skies

Chuffed to win the Special Category at the HKH Rangelands Photo Contest.🙏🏔️
Rangelands cover about 60% of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) and are the primary source of livelihood for 25–30 million people across the region. Climate change and land-use pressures are putting these ecosystems and the communities that depend on them at risk, and yet their stories remain largely untold.
To mark the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026), we announced a photo competition in July 2025 on the theme: “Voices of the highlands: Life, land and livestock in a changing world”. The contest highlights the importance of pastoralism and shines a light on the richness and resilience of pastoral communities across the HKH region.
ICIMOD and FAO Nepal are thrilled to announce the winners of the photo competition:
🏆 Jury’s Choice Award - Sonam Tshering, Bhutan
🏆 Public Choice Award - Taseer Baig, Pakistan
🏆 Special Category (FAO Nepal) - Tulsi Rauniyar, Nepal

Two days to go for the election and if you're still undecided on who to vote for, you can go back and read our election coverage on @WeeklyKalam. A good starting point would be our explainer on the entire federal electoral process.

Just days earlier, these activists had been ordinary young people, lost in the grind of their daily lives. Now they were being asked to help choose Nepal’s next prime minister.

For @theslowfactory and #everythingispolitical I break down Nepal's new reckoning, tracing the developments from September 8-11, where they unfolded, why they matter, and how they are reshaping the political landscape.

Given the amount of misinformation that is circulating, the GenZ negotiating team needs to immediately identify who they are and what their positions are. This is imperative for transparency and to build broader trust. Media too must take care not to publish news based on halla.

If you honestly think opressed people have ever won their freedom just by politely reasoning with their opressors, I suggest picking up literally any history book. Ever.

Even Nepal’s history (like Jan Andolan I & II, the Madhesh movements, and other uprisings) shows that real change here hasn’t come from polite requests, but from collective resistance.

It highlights that the energy for justice in #Nepal today, especially among youths, is not isolated or ‘new,’ but the next chapter in that same tradition of resistance. Nepal is standing up. Nepal is demanding.

I wish we could jail them. aren't they so proud of having being jailed by the monarchy? i wish we could send them right back, full circle. But we're at such a sorry state even a resignation will feel like victory. no hope of actual justice, actual accountability. chhya.

अलिकति पनि नैतिकता छ भने केपी ओली, रमेश लेखक र अन्य सरकारी कर्मचारी जसले गोलि हान्ने आदेश दिए सबैले राजिनामा दिनु पर्छ, ६ देखि ८ जना को मृत्यु को खबर आइसक्यो, कुन मुखले भोलि देश को नेतृत्व गर्छौ, थुक्क

We often seek solace in nature during times of distress, turning to forests and wild spaces for mental well-being and restoration. But what happens when one becomes terrified of the very landscapes that your livelihoods depend upon? #nepal #nationalpark
