Recently in Nepal


Riot police marching toward local protesters; the protesters were upset that the Nepali government was not funding the purchase of animals to sacrifice for the upcoming Deshain Festivals, as they normally do.


Garden of Dreams, also known as Keshar Mahal or "Kaiser" Mahal, is an old Rana palace. Keshar traveled to Europe, later became known as Kaiser, and brought back Austrian-influenced ideas for a dramatic garden of his own. After many years of neglect, it was restored in 2006.

Advertising in Nepal. "Springwood: Everyday a New You" and Surya, whose "24 Carat" cigarette ads display large text warning of health effects.
