Gyanu Adhikari is co-founder of The Record, the online news portal that published from 2014 to 2024. With 10 years' experience running a media outlet that not only innovated in its content – offering long reads, history series, and podcasts, for example – but also experimented with funding—using a subscriber model—Gyanu has lots to share about media in Nepal. But surprisingly, he was most eager to talk about the state of the country—and more optimistic than most people I speak to about the future of Nepal. This episode was first published in 2024. I'm re-posting an episode today for the first time, mainly because I'll be out of town this week and couldn't finish a new one fast enough. I chose to feature my chat with Gyanu because it's one of the most popular I've published since 2020 and also because it's evergreen, since it deals with the media and the future, two subjects that many of us never tire speculating about. I reached out to Gyanu a couple of days ago to ask if he wanted to add anything to his thoughts three years later. He told me, quote, “I still believe we are on a good path provided we can keep the constitution and rule of law — a secular federal republic will take us far. To speed up the progress, Nepal should be inspired by China and Scandinavian countries' green transition. Democratizing the energy industry, for example, with feed-in tariffs, and replacing dirty with clean energy in every domain. That'd allow us to leapfrog ahead instead of merely play catchup with developed countries. We are also still badly under-investing in human capital, including in the arts.”Tell us how we're doing, or just say hiSupport the showYou can subscribe to Nepal Now for as little as $3 a month.

My mate Kerryn Vaughan is back and fresh off a soul-stirring trip to Nepal, and wow, strap in because this convo goes everywhere. From being swept off her feet by the energy of the Himalayas to raw moments of anger and conflict that cracked her heart wide open. Kerryn shares the wild beauty of community homestays, being guided by Buddhist artists, sunrise blessings from solo monks, and the kind of encounters that shift your view of the world forever.

In this deeply moving podcast episode, we break the silence on Nepal's war crimes and the widespread breaches of international law during the decade-long civil war. Our guest, a survivor of unimaginable trauma, shares her personal story of childhood before the conflict, the brutal killing of farmers, and the army's suspicions that tore her family apart. Through her powerful testimony, we uncover the false narratives that fueled suffering and human rights violations against innocent civilians. This episode also highlights the ongoing legal fight for justice by victims and the urgent need for meaningful national discussions to address these critical issues. We explore how politics has delayed justice and examine what true justice means from the perspective of those who lived through the conflict. Additionally, the conversation sheds light on the inhumane crimes committed, the role of the army in recent initiatives, and survivors' expectations from authorities to ensure accountability. Join us as we hear about the resilience required to move forward after trauma and the hopeful final message for national healing. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in Nepal's civil war, war crimes, human rights, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

Explore the Nepali Civil War through the eyes of civilians who lived through a decade of conflict between Maoist rebels and government forces. This podcast dives deep into the struggles and survival stories of ordinary people caught in the middle of a brutal war marked by atrocities, forced recruitment, and widespread human rights abuses.

This special episode of the Tough Girl Podcast brings together three incredible women—Tori James, Jo Bradshaw, and Rosemary J Brown—for an inspiring conversation about legacy, mountains, and the enduring spirit of women in adventure. We're diving deep into the story of Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Mount Everest in 1975, and celebrating the 50th anniversary of her historic climb. Despite her groundbreaking achievement, Junko's name is still unfamiliar to many. Tori, Jo, and Rosemary are determined to change that. In this episode, we talk about how Junko inspired a life-changing all-female expedition to Yala Peak in Nepal, the launch of the First Females Podcast (May 16th 2025), and the wider mission to highlight the stories of women who were the first from their countries to stand on the roof of the world. You'll hear about: Rosemary's journey to the mountains in her 70s. Tori's return to Nepal, 18 years after climbing Everest. Jo's vision for a meaningful anniversary tribute. The power of visibility, representation, and saying yes to adventure—at any age. This episode is a beautiful tribute to Junko's legacy, a reminder of the power of community, and a call to action for anyone ready to find their own summit. #MyJunkoJourney *** Past episodes with Jo, Tori & Rosemary: Tori James - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/2015/09/29/tough-girl-tori-james-first-welsh-women-to-climb-everest  Rosemary J Brown - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/brown-1  Jo Bradshaw - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/2016/09/15/tough-girl-extra-catching-up-with-mountaineer-expedition-leader-jo-bradshaw-discussing-he  Jo Bradshaw TGP Extra - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/jo-bradshawtge  ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In this exclusive podcast, we sit down with Dr. Shekhar Koirala, senior leader of the Nepali Congress, to discuss the deep-rooted dynamics of Nepal's political history. From his political childhood growing up in the influential Koirala family to his reflections on the legacy of BP Koirala and Girija Prasad Koirala, this conversation offers rare insights into the core of Nepali politics. Dr. Koirala opens up about BP Koirala's legacy, leadership ethics, and the controversial story behind the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. He shares inside stories about Girija Prasad Koirala's secret negotiations with the Maoists, and how those talks shaped Nepal's transition into a republic. We also dive deep into Nepal's current challenges, including federalism and secularism in Nepal, the rise of monarchy vs republic sentiments, and the influence of foreign pressure—particularly from India—on our political decisions. Dr. Koirala speaks candidly about the economic crisis, the state of Nepal's economy in 2025, the role of social media in Nepali politics, and the need for internal democracy within political parties. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in Nepali Congress politics, political ethics in Nepal, and the impact of political dynasties like the Koiralas.

That's because this mountainous terrain (it's home to Mount Everest after all) is connected via THOUSANDS of bridges. Whether permanent or seasonal, made of bamboo and rope or pulleys and wire, suspended above incredible mountains or rapid waters, the Nepalese have networked their country through amazing, unique, and exhilarating engineering. Find out how building and re-building bridges became a part of the nation's culture, and how trusting that a treacherous trip is worth the risk shapes the way the Nepalese perceive connection, community, and what in life we ought to hold onto.
