关于本栏目
Deals & Routes
The three global airline alliances, what they really get you — miles, status, lounges and smoother connections — where the perks stop, and how to concentrate your miles in the right frequent-flyer program for Nepal-bound routings.
Gear & Tech
A practical reference to the world's plug types (A/B, C/E/F, G, D/M, I), the ~120V vs ~230V split, and the one rule that saves your devices: an adapter reshapes the pins, it does not convert voltage.
Festivals & Events
Four days of fasting, river-standing and dawn offerings
Records & People
At 22,943 feet, Machapuchare towers over the Annapurna Sanctuary, and by Nepal's own law, no one has legally set foot on its true summit since a British team turned back 150 feet short of it in 1957.
Visas & Entry

Safety & Advisories
Four named survivors describe running uphill as the market disappeared behind them, and a CCTV timestamp shows how little warning anyone downstream actually had.
Safety & Advisories
Days before Nepal's autumn trekking season opens, two of the country's oldest mountain-safety institutions ran back-to-back wilderness first-aid courses for working guides, drilling CPR, patient evacuation and the earliest signs of altitude sickness.
Flights & Access
The national carrier adds a fourth weekly Kathmandu-Narita rotation from 18 September, wide-body A330 and all, timed squarely at the Dashain-Tihar homecoming rush and the autumn trekking peak that follows it.
Trail & Weather
No - November is often the clearest month of the whole year, and after the festival crowds go home around 10 November the trails empty out while the skies stay 150km-sharp. Here's exactly what changes, and when it really does get too cold.
