Last month, in January, several stolen cultural heritage were returned to Nepal from the United States. Among them were sacred idols of the Hindu god Uma-Maheshwar that were stolen almost 50 years ago from Chyasal, Patan. They were identified recently in the storage facilities of the Brooklyn Museum, which began repariation, after the efforts of Newa Guthi New York. Locals welcomed their Gods with heartfelt celebrations and a puja for forgiveness. The idols were taken around the city in chariots and, finally, re-instated in Chyasal hiti. In recent years, Nepal has seen many such successful repatriation efforts. The trafficking of cultural heritage had once left local communities with immeasurable pain and loss.

Ep#050 When the world took itself indoors and online during the pandemic, a unique virtual movement bubbled in the Nepali social media sphere, one that identified multitudes of Nepal's cultural objects in the unnatural glass cases of foreign museums and mobilized, in thousands, for their repatriation. For the first time, the Nepali masses collectively denounced cultural trafficking, pressuring withholders to give back what is rightfully theirs.

Already allowing the overrated COVID-19 to dictate how they live and act, the New Zealand government recently instituted the COVID Protection Framework on December 3rd. The new program requires churches to massively limit the number of people they allow to attend in person. Of course, that rule changes if churches only allow vaccinated people. Seeing the new government overreach as a direct attack on their religious beliefs, Calvary Chapel Pastors have banded together, calling for officials to reevaluate the procedure they have put in place. Sending a letter to NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Pastor Jim Delor of Calvary Chapel Waimate said, “We at all the Calvary Chapels here in NZ are resolute not to turn away anyone due to vaccination status.”2 Years in Jail for… saying Prayer can Heal COVID https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-in-nepal-sentenced-for-saying-prayer-can-heal-covid-19.html “A court in Nepal has sentenced a pastor to two years in prison under the country's harsh anti-conversion law for merely saying that prayers can heal COVID-19, according to reports. The District Court in Dolpa this week sentenced Pastor Keshab Raj Acharya to two years in prison and a fine of $165 (20,000 Rupees) for suggesting on social media that prayer could bring healing from the coronavirus, the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern said in a statement. Pastor Acharya was first arrested on March 23 last year from his home in Pokhara, Gandaki Pradesh Province, on charges of spreading false information regarding COVID-19. Though he was released about a fortnight later, he was rearrested moments later on charges of “outraging religious feelings” and “proselytizing.”World War III Could be on the Horizon https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lloyd-austin-says-increased-china-activity-near-taiwan-looks-like-rehearsal “Austin noted that he didn't want to speculate, but said, "Certainly, it looks like them exploring what their true capabilities [are], and sure, it looks like rehearsal.”

Sagyan Malla joins as today's guest from Kathmandu as he details the trekking route that his agency, Mount Putha (www.mountputha.com, Instagram handle: nepal.traveler), runs in the Dolpa region. The longest trip takes about 27 days and travelers take the route from Nepalgunj, Juphal, Phoksundo, Upper Dolpa region and then cross into Lo Manthang, Jomsom and end in Pokhara. We explore the less-traveled route and provide with all the information you need to make Dolpa as your next trip. As part of Visit Nepal 2020, I really want to encourage adventure seekers to venture to this remote region rather than the usual popular tourist places.
My school friend Hrishav Bhattarai joins in from Kathmandu as he chronicles his lifechanging experience as a teacher when he taught kids for six months in the remote place of Nijal in Dolpa district. The school is located at an altitude of 3860m above sea level and is just six hours walk from the Tibetan border.

This week we interviewed Dorje Dolma, author of the book Yak Girl. Dorje has an amazing story to tell about living as a young girl in the upper Dolpa region of Nepal - one of the most remote places in the world and then coming to America for a life saving surgery. Here's an excerpt: "I think life is both unexplainable and magical. How in the world does a girl from a 15,000-foot-high village with no schools–a girl who thought buses were giant cows–come to the U.S. and get into a university with 30,000 students so she can get her degree in Fine Arts? And how does she then go on to write a book about her life?"
