Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas mountain range, on the border of China and Nepal. Mount Everest is the highest mountain on earth with a height of 29,035 feet.

The pushing together of the tectonic plates occurred over 60 million years ago. The summit of Mount Everest is covered in snow year round, however the coldest…

I meet Albert nearby Hindu Temple. He is around 50 and staying with his wife and 3 daughters. He was a working as a car mechanic outside the camp in Nepal and his expectation was off getting a similar job in the USA. However, he was not able to get the same type of job in the United States.

Farce to Serious Neelam Adhikari Nepal’s politics has gone from serious to ridiculous to farce. What is responsible for it? Lack of women in leadership. We women are repositories of love and compassion and good at multi-tasking. Our heart bleeds for our family and other’s children as well. We can work our hands and brain at different things at the same time. That makes us smarter but imposes on us disproportionate burden as well. The experience of Western countries where women and men have…

Red, yellow, and orange blended into a single swath of color as I drove north along the Blue Ridge Parkway on an autumn day in Appalachia. I slowed down as I passed by a row of trees noticeably smaller than the rest, reflecting back to what was visible before their growth. Six years ago, as a high school student, I used a graphical information system (GIS) to conduct a viewshed analysis of undesirable vantage points on this scenic byway. Alongside this data I created before and after imagery in…

also talks about Mt. Everest, explaining why the damage in the city was so severe. Europe's Sentinel-1A is a radar satellite that recently (this past Wednesday) had released some new data. According to that data, the article states that a region of Nepal 75 miles (120 kilometers) long by 30 miles (50 km) wide was lifted upward by as much as 3 feet during the earthquake.

Jan 30, 2016-The Nepali rap scene has discovered its most recent rising star. Yodda, a youthful Nepali craftsman living abroad, with his most recent single, is as of now knocking some people's socks off. The track, titled Malai Baal, which in Nepali slang freely interprets into "I couldn't care less", is one of the first and couple of case of a Nepali craftsman making music in a hip-bounce sub-sort known as trap music. Also, the oddity is invigorating. Trap began in the famously perilous and…
