Its atmospheric capital Kathmandu, this rugged Himalayan land famous as home to Mount Everest and Annapurna is calm these days, and still pretty popular with the trekking and backpacking set. Great for Buddhist and Hindu temples, too.

    Wow, I sure did not see this coming. With the exception of Taiwan, Asia is notoriously not exactly a hotbed of progressivism when it comes to queers, but this news from Nepal shows how at least when it comes to travel, some progress is being made here and there: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/nepal-lgbt-tourism-intl-hnk-cmd/inde...

    What with all the trekking and the temples, the other stuff Nepal has to offer visitors can get lost in the shuffle. So I was interested to come across this: https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/cooking-classes-nepal

    Many visitors sign onto tour groups when trekking in Nepal, but apparently plenty do it on their own. Well, as of April for safety reasons that will be banned in the country's national parks - including the popular Annapurna Circuit and widening a previous prohibition on solo trekking/climbing on mountains within the national territory: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/world/asia/nepal-solo-trekking-b...

    Nepal is considered among the world's riskiest places to fly, CNN just reported on how the recent crash three days ago near Pokhara underscores why: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/15/asia/nepal-air-travel-risks-intl...

    Wow it looks like Russia's war against Ukraine has even reached the Nepalese Himalayas. The BBC reports that the Ukrainian embassy in New Delhi has issued a diplomatic note to Nepal's government requesting it ban Russian mountaineers until the end of their country's invasion! So far, though, no change: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60915320
