How can the Kathmandu air pollution issue be solved? by MadagascarNow
OK, let's first assume the government will either get out of the way or cooperate. It's easy to bash governments and criticize politicians. I just get bored with that dialog and, as expats, I think it's important to remember we are here ...
It's easy to bash governments and criticize politicians, but to address these pollution issues, there have to be political decisions, and legislation settled in order to change things. For sure planting trees is a good idea, as well as cleaning ... Read More

Customs Declaration on Arrival by jl1234
Since I've been here, I often hear the question: How much cash can foreigners bring into Nepal? To answer that question, I refer them to the following link's valuable information, for guidance purposes: ...
bienfrancaise, the rule doesn't prevent you to bring 20000$ or 100000$ in Nepal if you like, it says that your have to declare it while entering the country. There is no limit, so I don't see any problem actually ... Read More
