As a small, landlocked country sandwiched between Tibet to the north and India to the south, Nepal often struggles to make the international news for anything more than mountaineering tragedies and political unrest. What we aim to provide you with here are regularly updated links to some stories from the local press here that are relevant to the important work just-one engages in here. The list will be updated with the most recent stories on top and each of the links will be set to open in a new window. We’d appreciate if you could let us know if any of these links no longer work so we can edit the list below accordingly. As the stories are coming from external sites, we have absolutely no control over their content, which shouldn’t be taken as a reflection of the views of just-one, and are simply provided here for the convenience of those interested in leaning more about some of the day-to-day issues in Nepal.
