  • Nepal Tour (Dhulikhel/Namo Buddha/Balthali) – 03 Days
    NEPAL TOUR (DHULIKHEL/NAMO BUDDHA/BALTHALI) – 03 DAYS Dhulikhel is situated only 30 Km East of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal on the Araniko Highway in the lap of Greenwood and at an elevation of 1,550 meter above the mean sea level and along the ridge that separates the valley of Banepa and Panchkhal. It looks as if Dhulikhel is busy in conversation with the Himalayan range on the north with a beautiful smile. This might be the reason why many people call this place as the 'Queen of the Hills', and say that this place shares many features with Darjeeling a tourist city in India. From Dhulikhel one can get a panoramic view of the Himalayas from east to west. Your day at Dhulikhel may begin through witnessing the spectacular sunrise over the some of the greatest peaks of the world, including Gauri Shanker, Langtang, and Ganesh Himal. Namo Buddha is situated at the elevation of 1750m above sea level and located 40 kilometers southeast of Kathmandu (approx 1 hr 30 minutes drive from Kathmandu by private vehicle). Namo Buddha is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites south of the Himalayas, as well as being one of the holiest Buddhist sites in the world. Known by Tibetans as Takmo Lu Jin, meaning “Tigress Body Generosity”, the Namo Buddha stupa marks the site where a young prince (in some versions, the Buddha himself) encountered a tigress close to starvation and unable to feed her own cubs. Overcome with compassion, the prince allowed the tigress to consume him and thereby feed her cubs.

  • News Update from Nepal, June 9, 2005
    News update from Nepal, June 9, 2005 News Update from Nepal June 9, 2005 The Establishment The establishment in Nepal is trying to consolidate the authority of the state in society through various measures, such as beefing up security measures, extending the control of the administration, dismantling the base of the Maoists and calling the political parties for reconciliation. On May 27 King Gyanendra in his address called on the leaders of the agitating seven-party alliance “to shoulder the responsibility of making all democratic in- stitutions effective through free and fair elections.” He said, “We have consistently held discussions with everyone in the interest of the nation, people and democracy and will continue to do so in the future. We wish to see political parties becoming popular and effective, engaging in the exercise of a mature multiparty democracy, dedicated to the welfare of the nation and people and to peace and good governance, in accordance with people’s aspirations.” Defending the existing Constitution of Nepal 1990 the King argued, “At a time when the nation is grappling with terrorism, the shared commitment and involvement of all political parties sharing faith in democracy is essential to give permanency to the gradually im- proving peace and security situation in the country.” He added, “Necessary preparations have already been initiated to hold these elections, and activate in stages all elected bodies which have suffered a setback during the past three years.” However, King Gy- anendra reiterated that the February I decision was taken to safeguard democracy from terrorism and to ensure that the democratic form of governance, stalled due to growing disturbances, was made effective and meaningful.

  • Senior Leaders Skip CA Meetings
    Senior Leaders Skip CA Meetings Bhuwan KC Published date: 20 September 2010 http://asd.org.np/en/transition/constitution/analytical/80-skip-ca-meetings The CA sat for 100 meetings in two years. According to the CA Secretariat employees, Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala had reached the CA meeting hall only four times. When he died on 20 March 2010, he had not signed on the attendance register even once. UCPN (M) chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal attended eight meetings. He attended five meetings after resigning from the prime minister’s post. He last attended the meeting on 4 February 2010. Senior Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba attended seven meetings in two years. He did not attend a single meeting for the whole of 2066 BS (mid-April 2009 to mid-April 2010). Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal attended 16 meetings of the Constituent Assembly. Comparatively, UML chairperson Jhala Nath Khanal was more active in attending 34 meetings. Among leaders of the big parties, Nepali Congress parliamentary leader Ram Chandra Poudel has attended the most meetings. He not only attends the meetings but also participates in the discussions. He also gave presentations in his 63 meeting attendances. Leaders of the smaller parties attended most of the meetings and actively took part in discussions. Rastriya Janamorcha chairperson Chitra Bahadur K.C. attended 93 meetings. By looking at the meeting attendance of the top leaders of the major parties, it is clear that the meetings are not their priorities. They did not take part in discussions in serious issues raised in the meetings.

  • Nepal: Political Developments and Bilateral Relations with the United States
    Nepal: Political Developments and Bilateral Relations with the United States Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs April 7, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34731 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Nepal: Political Developments and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary Nepal has undergone a radical political transformation since 2006, when a 10-year armed struggle by Maoist insurgents, which claimed at least 13,000 lives, officially came to an end. The country’s king stepped down in 2006, and two years later Nepal declared itself a republic, electing a Constituent Assembly in 2008 to write a new constitution, which is currently being drafted. Though the process of democratization has had setbacks and been marked by violence at times, Nepal has conducted reasonably peaceful elections, brought former insurgents into the political system, and in a broad sense, taken several large steps towards entrenching a functioning democracy. This still-unfolding democratization process makes Nepal of interest to Congress and to U.S. foreign policymakers. A Congressional Nepal caucus has been newly formed, which should help further strengthen relations between the two countries, which have traditionally been friendly. U.S. policy objectives toward Nepal include supporting democratic institutions and economic liberalization, promoting peace and stability in South Asia, supporting Nepalese territorial integrity, and alleviating poverty and promoting development. Nepal’s status as a small, landlocked state situated between India and China also makes it important to foreign policymakers. Nepal’s reliance on these two giant neighbors leads it to seek amicable relations with both, though ties with India have historically been closer.
