Records & People
A new national census puts Nepal's tiger population at a record high, the fastest tiger recovery of any country on Earth — and it's reshaping what a Chitwan or Bardia safari actually looks like.
Records & People
On 3 June 1950, two Frenchmen became the first humans to stand on an 8,000-metre summit — three years before Everest. The descent nearly killed them both.
Records & People
Six metres below Everest's summit, geologists have found fossils of sea creatures that died 450 million years before Hillary and Tenzing were born — and the mountain is still rising to meet them.
Safety & Advisories
Climbers came home with before-and-after photos. Nepal's tourism department told them not to talk about it. Here's what actually happened to the Hillary Step — and why the same stretch of ridge is still making headlines in 2026.
Industry & Tourism
China's 2025 pledge to flood Nepal with half a million visitors delivered barely a fifth of that number. Days ago, a five-person tourism delegation from Sichuan sat down with Nepal Tourism Board to plan the next attempt.
Flights & Access
No airline flies nonstop from the US to Kathmandu — here is exactly how Americans actually get there, what a real Everest Base Camp trek costs in dollars, and an itinerary built around the flight.
Trail & Weather
One crosses a 5,416-metre pass into the desert beyond the Himalaya; the other walks into a glacial amphitheatre at 4,130 metres. Here's which one actually matches what you're picturing when you say Annapurna.
Flights & Access
No direct flight links Frankfurt or Munich to Kathmandu, but a Doha or Istanbul connection gets you there in under 15 hours — here is what a two-week Everest trek actually costs a German trekker this year.
Festivals & Events
Mani Rimdu, the Sherpa Buddhist festival that has run for over a century, returns to Tengboche Monastery around 26–28 October 2026. Here is what actually happens, and how to build an Everest Base Camp trek around it.
Records & People
Joe Brown and George Band summited Kangchenjunga on a promise never to stand on its true top. A 2025 Indian Army climb from the Nepal side broke that unwritten rule again, and reignited a decades-old fight over whether the mountain should be climbed at all.
Industry & Tourism
Nepal Tourism Board's fresh mid-year data show 621,624 foreign arrivals in the first half of 2026 and an accelerating June — here's exactly where visitors are coming from, and what the surge means for booking an autumn trek.
Flights & Access
There is still no nonstop flight from Britain to Kathmandu. Here is the real routing, an all-in cost table in pounds, and a day-by-day Everest Base Camp itinerary for UK trekkers booking autumn 2026.
Industry & Tourism
No airline flies nonstop from Australia to Nepal, but the fastest routing still beats Qantas's record-breaking nonstop to London — real flight times, AUD trek costs and a sample itinerary for 2026.
Safety & Advisories
This week's avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak has renewed the Karakoram's reputation as the world's deadliest climbing ground — but seven decades of summit-and-death records show the real picture is more specific, and more surprising, than Karakoram versus Everest.
Industry & Tourism
Rara Lake is bigger than Phewa, sits inside Nepal's smallest national park, and changes colour up to five times a day — yet only 208 travellers from outside South Asia saw it in the latest full tally. Here's the Himalaya's best-kept secret, by the numbers.

Marriott went from zero hotels in Nepal seven years ago to five open and four more signed, including its first Ritz-Carlton and first Luxury Collection hotel anywhere in South Asia, as record visitor arrivals convince global chains Kathmandu is finally luxury-ready.

An avalanche between Camps 2 and 3 swept a 10-member team on Pakistan's Broad Peak on 30 July 2026. Four bodies have been recovered (not yet identified); six climbers, including Nims Purja, remain missing as helicopters search. Updated live.
Industry & Tourism
Nepal has no official tipping rate — but gratuities make up an estimated 30-50% of a guide or porter's yearly income. Here's what international trekkers actually pay, verified against porter-welfare guidelines.
Safety & Advisories
A helicopter can put you at Everest Base Camp in one day for about the same group price as the trek. Here's what the extra 9-14 days actually buy you, according to CDC altitude-risk guidance and our own 2026 pricing.
Safety & Advisories
EBC and ABC are both sold as moderate treks, but altitude, not distance, is what actually separates them. Here are the real training benchmarks, not the hype.
Safety & Advisories
Nepal has required every foreign trekker to hire a licensed guide since April 2023, which changes the real question for solo women from should I go alone to how do I pick the right guide and route. Here is the honest checklist.
Records & People
Nepali photojournalist Purnima Shrestha set a world first on Everest in 2024 — and this May she went back up for a sixth summit altogether.
Records & People
Kristin Harila, who summited all 14 of the world's 8,000m peaks in a record 92 days, has now completed Everest's brutal Triple Crown — mostly without bottled oxygen.
Safety & Advisories
The honest age and altitude limits for trekking Nepal as a family, what pediatric and mountain-medicine guidance actually says, and which real routes fit which ages.
Festivals & Events
Nepal's two biggest festivals send guides, porters and lodge staff home and book out domestic flights and buses for weeks — here's the real autumn 2026 logistics picture, verified against 2025's rush.
Flights & Access
Nepal's aviation authority again grounds direct Kathmandu-Lukla flights from 25 September to 30 November 2026 — here's why the Ramechhap diversion actually makes flying to Everest Base Camp more reliable, and how many buffer days to plan for.
Trail & Weather
This week floods severed the access roads to Manang and Rasuwa, and landslides remain a fixture on the Manaslu trailhead road. We checked conditions region by region and worked out when trekkers can actually expect firm, dry trails this autumn.
Permits & Rules
Amid headlines about Everest's climbing costs rising, we checked the actual trekking permit fees against Nepal's official sources — ACAP, TIMS, Sagarmatha, Manaslu and Langtang are all exactly where they were last year.
Records & People
Machapuchare towers over Pokhara and watches over half our treks in the Annapurna region — and by law, nobody is allowed to stand on top of it.
Flights & Access
Jet fuel prices nearly doubled overnight in April, domestic airlines lost over half a million passengers in a single year, and the routes trekkers use to reach the mountains were hit hardest.
Safety & Advisories
We read the actual UK and US government advisories line by line — the specific risks they name, the guide rule already in force, and what it really means for women trekking Nepal alone.
Safety & Advisories
We read the CDC's current Nepal travel-health page line by line — what's legally required, what's strongly recommended, and what you can safely skip.
Records & People
In a centuries-old ritual beside Kathmandu's Durbar Square, a toddler is chosen for 32 physical perfections, tested for total fearlessness beside sacrificed buffalo heads, and enthroned as a living goddess — until her first period ends the reign overnight.
Records & People
Scientists studying why Sherpa guides thrive above 8,000 metres without extra oxygen found the answer partly written by Denisovans, an extinct human relative, and partly in mitochondria that simply burn fuel better.
Records & People
Two Everest-region monasteries guarded 'Yeti' relics for centuries. Sir Edmund Hillary tested one himself in a Chicago lab; the other waited until 2011 for a DNA answer.
Records & People
The Kali Gandaki cuts a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon between two 8,000-metre peaks, and the black stones its current uncovers are worshipped as a living form of Vishnu.
Trail & Weather
Everest sees tens of thousands of trekkers a year. Its 8,485m neighbour Makalu — the world's fifth-highest mountain — sees a few hundred. Here is the full guide to Nepal's wildest teahouse trek.
Records & People
Before any client sets foot above Base Camp, a small SPCC crew re-threads ladders and rope through the shifting Khumbu Icefall — the stretch that has killed more people than any other part of the mountain.
Safety & Advisories
On 28 February 2026, three men ended up in the same crevasse on the Alps' second-highest massif. Two were pulled out alive. Rodolfo Franguelli, 61, was not — he fell during the effort to save the first.
Records & People
In September 2024 a National Geographic team found a boot, a sock and a foot on Everest's Central Rongbuk Glacier — and the label read A.C. IRVINE.
