Every day I see them driving aggressively as if they're racing against time. Considering they're carrying children, shouldn't they be more careful. Mainroad or sano galli jata pani ekdam kudauney jhan aajha voli tah electric school van cross section ma aako pani tha hunna. Is it because of time ma purauna parney or traffic hunxa vaneraw ki k ho.

Personally for me, it seems very risky to have children in those vehicles.

Today wasn't just a bad day.

It was one thing after another that made me realize how helpless I've been feeling.

We work 32–34 hour shifts twice a week (9 AM one day until around 2 PM the next day), which already adds up to more than 60 hours a week. That's before being called in extra for additional surgeries. There is no overtime pay, no incentive, nothing.

I've personally worked from 9 AM until 9 PM the next day without complaining. Yet if you ask to leave even a little earlier after being awake for over a day, you're called "unambitious" or told you "don't want to learn."

The Medical Officers working on rotation, we've submitted letters twice to both HR and the HOD regarding the workload and unpaid extra hours. Nothing has changed. Even when we ask in person, we barely get a response.

Recently, nurses received a salary increase, and I genuinely think that's a good thing. They absolutely deserve fair pay for the work they do.

But what about Medical Officers?

We're required to complete one year of work experience, leaving many of us with little power. We work brutal hours, carry huge responsibility, and are expected to keep going no matter how exhausted we are.

Our basic salary is NPR 35,000. We receive only NPR 450 for each night duty, and with around 7–8 night duties a month, our total monthly salary comes to only around NPR 38,000. This is while routinely working 32–34 hour shifts and often staying even longer for OT, with no overtime pay or additional incentives. It's nowhere close to the government pay scale.

Today, while trying to arrange an MRI for my mom, it suddenly hit me that after all these hours and all this work, I still have to think twice before I can afford something that is a need. Even the staff discount is the same 10% that everyone else gets.

I got home and just broke down.

It feels like we're expected to silently accept unpaid labor because we need that mandatory one year of experience. We're expected to absorb the frustration of patients and relatives, while also facing pressure and sometimes dismissive responses when we express exhaustion. It becomes difficult to continue working under these conditions while running on little sleep and knowing we have very little bargaining power.

I know medicine is hard. I don't expect luxury. I don't mind working hard.

I just want my time, my health, and my work to be valued.

Are other Medical Officers in Nepal experiencing the same thing? Is this just accepted as normal, or does anyone actually see it changing?

We always assume imported = better quality, but I've been slowly replacing stuff with Nepali-made alternatives and some genuinely surprised me. What's worked for you and what was a mistake? Be honest, both answers help.

Nepal has a large grey economy, with a significant amount of money circulating outside the formal tax system. The government has been trying to formalize the economy and encourage tax compliance, but I believe lasting change will only happen when people are given genuine incentives—not just stricter rules.

One idea is to introduce a transparent, government-run national lottery. For example, there could be two weekly draws with a top prize of Rs. 1 crore each, while tickets cost just Rs. 100. If enough people participate, the prize money and operating costs can be covered, with the remaining proceeds directed toward public welfare programs such as education, healthcare, or infrastructure.

Blockchain technology can be used for transparency and integrity of the system.

If implemented effectively it could become a win-win for both citizens and the government.

Hi everyone,

I'm an F-1 international student from Nepal currently studying in the United States.

A few weeks ago, I realized my passport was missing. I'm still trying to recover it, but at the same time I'm preparing for the possibility that it's gone and that I'll need to get a new passport.

If I do get a new passport, I'll also need a new F-1 visa stamp since I won't have the old passport anymore.

I'm trying to decide whether I should travel to Nepal during December (winter break) to get my F-1 visa stamped before returning to the U.S.

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has recently gone through F-1 visa stamping in Nepal.

Some questions I have:

• How difficult was it to get an interview appointment?
• How long did it take from the interview to getting your passport back?
• What documents did you take?
• What questions were you asked during the interview?
• Were you asked about funding, transcripts, research, or ties to Nepal?
• Has anyone here gotten a new passport first because the old one was lost before applying for a new F-1 visa?
• Would you recommend going in December, or is that a risky time because of appointment availability and processing delays?

For context:

• I'm currently in the U.S.
• I'm maintaining valid F-1 status.
• I'm a computer science undergraduate at Texas State University.
• I would only travel if I have my new passport and all required documents ready.

I'm honestly a bit anxious because this situation has become much more complicated than I expected, and I want to make sure I can return to the U.S. for the spring semester without any issues.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice you have.

Thank you!

This is my second time posting in this group and sharing my experience with how I’ve been dealing with my mental health. It’s been six months and i am 23M, and honestly, nothing has really changed. I’m still in almost the same position I was 6–7 months ago. This year has been like a roller coaster, with a lot of ups and downs, and it has been really hard for me.

First of all, many people have wronged me and treated me very badly, as if I were a piece of crap, even though I only had good intentions toward them. Many people tend to misunderstand me and don't talk to me properly, even at home or when I meet new people.

I suffered bullying during my high school days, and it was hell for me. Many of my classmates bullied me because of my accent and the way I spoke. That constant bullying made me lose my confidence. I was later diagnosed with depression and social anxiety, which made it very difficult for me to talk to people or make new friends.

After completing high school, I joined a degree course near my hometown and slowly started regaining some of my confidence. But it still wasn't enough because my home was always stressful. There were always high expectations, and I was constantly being criticized for the things I struggled with. It made me feel like I was never good enough.

I eventually got a job, but that didn't end well either. It completely turned my life upside down. I lost my motivation, my depression came back, and I lost the will to live.

I lost my father at a very young age, and ever since I was a child, all I ever wanted was to have a nice family and good friends. I do have some friends, but some of them only talk to me when they need something.

I know life isn't the same for everyone, but it's extremely painful watching the people who hurt me and treated me like I was nothing live their best lives while I feel like I'm stuck here in hell. The people who destroyed my confidence seem to be doing perfectly fine, while I am still struggling to put myself back together.

I used to have a passion for something during my undergraduate years. Now, I feel hopeless, have no motivation, and have lost the will to live. I am currently in worst position of my life such as financially, no emotional support and constant misunderstanding between others.

Right now, I am suffering from extreme depression, and I get suicidal thoughts at least 1–3 times a week. I am trying very hard to cope with them, but it has been extremely difficult.

I don't know why people misunderstand me or why I struggle so much to get along with others. I am not a bad person. Sometimes, I feel like the way people have treated me has created a villain out of someone who was only trying to be good. I just wanted to feel loved at least once in my life. I want to know what it feels like to be genuinely loved and cared for by someone.

My parents are Nepali sunars (from the hills), but I was born and raised in India. Growing up in Indian cities, I haven’t personally experienced much caste-based discrimination that some people face in rural village settings. Have heard that Nepal’s society, especially in the Pahadi/hilly areas, has its more discriminatory caste history. I would really appreciate learning more from people with direct knowledge or experience.

1. How do different castes traditionally interact in villages versus towns/cities today? Has discrimination or social separation lessened with modernization, education, and migration? Any personal stories or observations about rural life?

2. What is the historical background of the caste system in Nepal’s hilly regions?

I am asking this out of genuine curiosity about my heritage and family roots, not to judge or stir controversy. Please share reliable info and personal experiences.

Let’s keep the discussion civil and informative!

Thank you!

I have now been trying for 7 months to get a decent entry level first job as a bsc agriculture graduate but have had no luck yet. I apply to almost every entry level positions in INGO/NGO roles and corporate roles too. Have not even managed to secure a single interview, they dont even reply witha rejection email. I have a combined 1 year intern experience too.

I want to hear about your experiences.

I need a family car within 50L range. I’ve looked at e-vitara and atto 2. I mostly want a reliable car with less hassle for maintenance and getting parts. What are some other good cars in the market in my budget range?

Hey guys! I’m planning a bike ride from Pokhara to Manang and then a trek to tilicho in September end. I wanted to know to the approximate travel time and road conditions from Pokhara to Manang (we wish to cover it in one day). And also where we can ride till Khangsar or further, and then how long would the trek to tilicho take? We’re two fairly fit guys, is the trek possible in one day if we leave early morning?

(This is my first reddit post so forgive the sloppy mess, probably could've written better but I'm sort of in a hurry)

So I recently finished 12th grade and decided I wanna do my Bachelors in Nepal and instead of moving to some other place like Kathmandu, I made the choice of staying in Biratnagar (where my home is, since it'd be easier for me) and after exploring my options a bit I took admission in the BIC (Biratnagar International College). The college is partnered with a university in the UK called Wolverhampton and includes a 3 year course so I was bit worried about the hassle that I'd have to go through to get the equivalency but the college actually reassured me, saying that they'd provide two certificates- One from the University of Wolverhampton and the other one that stated Tu's equivalency.

It sounded good to me so I decided to join the college. I've been going to "Prep" classes for 2 days now where they just teach you the basics of writing assignments (citing your sources and such) and other presentation skills. Today is when things changed, My friend called me like an hour ago and told me that he'd be leaving the college soon (maybe today or tomorrow) cause the Tu's equivalency that they provided will not be prioritized by the government.

I'm a little confused cause i don't know if he means "Government won't prioritize you" or "Government doesn't deem the course valid". So now I'm torn between either studying in this one or to leave.

Hello guys have any of you used this product? Is it actually good for price or waaste? I am basically planning to use it to make milkshake

I’m from the UK. Have lived in Nepal previously for more than a year. I speak decent conversational Nepali. Love the country and would like to work there but not sure how possible this is. I don’t have a teaching qualification. I do have university education up to PhD level in humanities. Are there any jobs that might be suitable? Looking for advice. Thank you

I am planning to come to nepal with my family next week. Looking for a travel guide/driver to help us tour Kathmandu and Pokhara mainly. No treks or hikes, just help us travel throughout for sightseeing and visiting temples, famous tourist attractions asw.
Any idea where I can find them. Should I book online or find one when I am there. My hotel has suggested me one service, so would that be a bit overpriced or fair?
TIA

I’m traveling from Canada to Nepal soon and wanted to know what items are allowed to bring and if there are any restrictions at customs. I’m planning to bring electronics, small gadgets, personal-care items, and gifts for family. Specifically, how many phones can I bring without running into customs issues or having to pay extra taxes? Are there limits on items like laptops, tablets, hair dryers, or other electronics? I’d also appreciate any advice on what products are worth bringing from Canada because they’re cheaper or hard to find in Nepal, as well as anything I should avoid bringing. Thanks!

Guys is it true that I need a local guide to hike the Annapurna (अन्नपूर्णा) base camp? Can I do it by myself?✨🩷

One of my neighbors is selling his travel agency, which has been running successfully for the past 12 years. He’s getting older, has done well financially, and now wants to retire. Since he isn’t into digital marketing or online business, he’s decided to sell the company.

I’m a licensed trekking guide and already done few freelancing treks and tours, so I have experience in tourism and some knowledge of digital marketing. He’s asking NPR 12 lakh for the agency.

In Nepal, starting a new travel agency requires a paid-up capital of around NPR 25 lakh, so buying an existing company seems like it could be an opportunity.

My questions are:
Is NPR 12 lakh a fair valuation for a 12-year-old travel agency?
What financial or legal documents should I review before making a decision?
Given the current tourism market in Nepal, would you buy an existing agency or start a new one?
What are the biggest risks I should be aware of?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has bought, sold, or operated a travel agency. Thanks in advance!
