Mount Everest (Sagarmatha) Highest mountain of the world

Image
Mount Everest The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. Its peak rises to 8,848 m (29,028 ft 9 in) – the highest point in the world. First known as Peak XV on the Tibet - Nepal border, it was discovered to be the world's highest mountain in 1856 by the Survey Department of the Government of India, from theodolite readings taken in 1849 and 1850. Its height was calculated to be 8,840 m 29,002 ft. The mountain was named after Col. Sir George Everest (UK), who was Surveyor-General of India from 1830 to 1843, and who, in fact, pronounced his name 'Eve-rest' as opposed to 'Ever-est'. Mount Everest is also known by the Tibetan name Chomolungma (Goddess Mother of the World) and by the Nepali name Sagarmatha (Forehead in the Sky). Many human triumphs and tragedies have been played out on Everest's slopes. George Mallory (UK) was one of the first to lead an expedition to climb the peak, in 1921. He perished not far from the s

Smart Driving Licenses to reduce fraud and illegal activity in Nepal

Image
Nepal has now started issuing its so called "Smart Driving License". Good The  (DOTM) Department of Transport Management has been bringing its long-planned smart driving license and will eventually replace all paper driving licenses currently in use. The latest issued driving licenses are very similar to bank ATM cards. They have in them an electronic chip which stores driver’s name, address, vehicle information and others. The DOTM has also moved all the old driving license data to a digital platform. According to news reports, the department plans to complete replacing the technology enabled licence within three to five years. Till date, the DoTM has issued around 2 million driving licences, out of which around 1.5 million are estimated to be active.  The introduction of the so called "Smart License" is said to reduce mismanagement among DOTM employees and other issues related to fake driving licenses.  The DoTM initiati

What you see and know Surprises in Nepal | Nepal Tourism

Image
Everyone knows trekking is the best on the planet in Nepal. It’s a great, cheap destination for people wanting to travel on a budget, volunteer, do spiritual retreats, etc. But there are a few surprises that I hope will put Nepal on the radar for you. Knowing what to expect will help you find your way around obstacles so you to enjoy Nepal more. One of the first things I saw after arriving in Nepal was how many military personnel there were standing around just about everywhere I looked. They were in full combat gear, including SWAT shields and riffles. Being from the US, this was a disconcerting sight for me. They just looked like they were waiting for trouble to erupt. That was in December 2010 and as far as I know they are still waiting because I haven’t noticed much trouble.  Nepal has come through some difficult times in the past decade or so, which brought a civil war and Maoists getting into power. They made a lot of promises, but it seems the people chose a

Shivapuri Hike Trek | Nepal Trekking route

Image
Shivapuri National Park is widely popular among the people who love to hike and trek in Kathmandu. This is definitely one of the best things to do in Kathmandu. Just for a day’s hike it’s a very tiring but refreshing walk or rather a hike in the lush damp green forest which is totally worth every aching muscle in your legs. I had heard about Shivapuri hike being great and been to Nagi Gompa on an excursion via jeep drive rather than a hike. So, I was pretty excited to finally hike there. Oh God, there is a whole bunch of hikes and treks still on my wish list! For this trip, my best friend and I grouped with our new friends from Champadevi hiking Alina and Pramesh along with two new people Sailendra and Manish. We gathered together in Lazimpat, Kathmandu near Sangrila Hotel at 6ish in the morning, (I am NOT good at keeping track of time!), had some tea break at a nearby shop which was fortunately opened and served morning tea, afterwards which we headed towards Budhanilkantha o

How to Get a Package Mailed to You in Nepal | Best Tips and Knowledge

Image
I needed something I just couldn’t find in Nepal, and therefore had to order something on the internet and had it mailed. It shouldn’t have been an ordeal to write home about. Each year or so I need to have credit/debit cards sent to me and it usually costs at least $120 and this last time my brother put BA for Bagmati district in Nepal and it went to Basnia; it finally arrived. Another time I had it go to a friend in Kathmandu to his business, then I had it go to my other friend’s business in Changunarayan. These were the best plans, but I had to pay for FedX international rates for letters. So when I ordered this special cream, since it was a package, I thought I’d skip putting a person’s name on the order and just have it go to the business. After a few weeks it hadn’t arrived. I looked up the order and saw that it had actually arrived in Nepal. I sent Bikram to get it when he was already in Kathmandu. Although Bikram had the printout from the internet, the ma

What is the Fastest, affordable, reliable home internet in Nepal

Image
The consumer choices and quality for internet thats available in Kathmandu, Nepal has improved a lot. Whereas in the past this market was dominated by NTC and WLink, nowadays there are a lot of choices such as Vianet, Subisu, Ncell.  I tried out Subisu's home cable internet and found it was quite good but I didn't get to test it for longer periods of time. I have also tested NTC's adsl and Wimax. NTC service seems to be good in during the morning and afternoon time but during the evenings the slow to a crawl. This shows the speed to their local servers in Kathmandu I had the opportunity to try out VIANET for 1 whole month and can say they provide one of the best internet quality with speed. All the setup and cabling is done by them for free during signup. They have a fiber optic network so its the best quality speed you will get compared to ADSL or Wireless services provided by other companies.  Tests on Browsing websites, Videos, On-line gaming and V
