Laxman Rawal
Pokhara
Laxman founded Travel Himalaya Nepal in 1998 and still signs off on every article. He carries editorial responsibility for the news desk — the breaking permit and flight changes, the safety advisories, and the hard coverage when things go wrong on the trails, including the 2026 floods. When a story touches loss of life, an official figure, or a family, it runs under his name because the accountability does. His rule for the desk is the same as his rule on the mountain: verify it, or do not say it.
