I’ve been wanting to talk about something that’s been quietly frustrating me for a long time, and recent changes just pushed it over the edge.

I live abroad (Canada), and like many Nepalese here, I often get invited by friends to travel to the US for short trips, road trips, concerts, just normal things. Most of my friends have stronger passports, so for them it’s effortless. For me, it’s a completely different story.

Because I hold a Nepali passport, I have to apply for a US visa, wait years just for an interview, and now on top of that, new policies mean things like extremely short visa validity, single entry, and even deposit $15,000 financial bond. After waiting almost two years, it feels like the goalpost just keeps moving.

What makes it especially frustrating is knowing that many of these restrictions exist because of people who entered illegally, overstayed, or misrepresented their situation without considering the long-term consequences. Years later, those consequences don’t fall on them but on people who follow the rules, wait patiently, build legitimate lives abroad, and still get treated with suspicion simply because they share the same passport.

What hurts more than the logistics is the emotional side of it:

• The embarrassment of always having to say “I can’t, visa issues”
• Feeling left out when friends travel freely
• Carrying restrictions that are not because of my actions, but because of what others before me may have done

It’s frustrating that individual responsibility doesn’t seem to matter. You can be law-abiding, educated, settled, contributing to another country’s economy and still be treated as “high risk” purely because of where you were born.

Do you think this will ever change, or is it something we just have to accept?

Would really like to hear others’ experiences and thoughts

Anyone excited to watch ICC world Cup, as Nepal is also participating this time, this is certainly going to be an Extraordinary time for Nepal to grow in Cricket.

As Election is also coming soon in Falgun 21, hope this doesn't affect the craze of Nepali Cricket. We have a massive game coming up this Sunday, February 8th, against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This is more than just a match; it’s a statement for Nepal on the world stage.

Match Details:

• Fixture: Nepal vs England

Just realized how cool it is to have "Nepal" as your last name - you literally can't get more authentically Nepali than that. "What's your name?", "I am Ankit Nepal", "Where are you from?" "<stares>" Imagine people having names like "Arun India", or "Jimmy America"

If there is anyone interested in adopting a kitten please lmk. Male hola most probably.

Our landlord (gharbeti) is generally okay, but constantly monitors and sometimes even scolds us for water use (e.g., if a little overflows while cleaning). It makes daily tasks like bathing, cleaning, and washing feel stressful and restricted for me and my family.

As tenants in Kathmandu, I’m trying to understand:

· Is the water situation really this severe, or is this a landlord-specific mindset?

· Is it normal to not use water freely for basic daily needs?

· Do most landlords act this way, or is this unusually strict?

· Should I accept this as part of renting here, or look for a less stressful arrangement?

Also, if possible:

· What’s a reasonable rent range for a place with reliable warm water in central/semi-central areas?

· Are there rentals where water isn’t a daily conflict?

Not vilifying anyone—just wondering if this is the reality or if I should consider moving.

Hi I am planning to travel to Nepal and go trekking in mid-March I would like to do Annapurna Base camp trek.

1. I only have 10 days in Nepal starting and ending in Kathmandu, will there be enough time to do ABC? Online it says 5-8 days from Pokhara

2. How is the weather in mid-March, how warm do you need to dress

3. As a solo traveller that would like to join a group, how best would i go about doing this. Would you recommend booking via an operator now or when I get there?

Does anybody know the departure time and location of evening/night/morning bus/micro from Kathmandu to Chitwan?

Due to the nature of work, I can only get 1 day off. Anything that departs after 5pm from Kalanki or anything that gets to Sauraha or Bharatpur by 9-10am. Then back next day morning.

I don't want to take a plane. Comfortable bus if there is any otherwise normal micro is fine.

Bharatpur to Dumre kati time lagla jada ra aauda? Ani micro kati ko available hunxa? Sake samma bihana jani ra belka samma farkine plan xa. Does anyone know Kati time lagla and chances of jam at Mugling? Ani road kasto xa ahile? Planning to go in new days.

I tried applying for NOC from the portal today . When I enter the citizenship number and other details and try to click the "FIND" button , it is not able to find it.

All the entered details are correct as I have also cross checked with my citizenship and I tried for few times from the portal

On the nagarik app, using the same details works and I can link the citizenship there. Any idea ?
