Nepal Speaks | Tunnel 3A Rescue - Audio version

When the ground disappears beneath your feet, opinions from the sidelines are easy. Rescue work is not. On 26 August 2026, devastating flooding in the Bhotekoshi–Trishuli corridor severely damaged infrastructure around the Upper Trishuli-3A Hydropower Project in Rasuwa. Workers were trapped deep inside a tunnel, surrounded by massive amounts of mud, rock and debris. For days, rescue teams worked through darkness, unstable ground and extremely difficult conditions. On September 4, voices were heard from inside the tunnel. What followed was a breakthrough that everyone had been hoping for: two…

   Nepal Speaks Video | Tunnel 3A Rescue

   When the ground disappears beneath your feet, opinions from the sidelines are easy. Rescue work is not. On 26 August 2026, devastating flooding in the Bhotekoshi/Trishuli corridor severely damaged the area around the Upper Trishuli-3A Hydropower Project in Rasuwa, trapping workers deep inside a tunnel beneath massive amounts of mud, rock and debris. For days, Nepali Army, Nepal Police, APF and NEA technical teams worked through dangerous and unstable conditions.

   लिपुलेक: नक्सा, सन्धि र ऐतिहासिक खुलासा / Did Nepal Lose Lipulekh? What the Maps, Treaties, and History Reveal - Nepali Version

   के मसीले कोरिएको border geography परिवर्तन हुँदैमा मेटिन सक्छ? The Maps Changed. Did the Border? In this episode of Nepal Speaks, हामी लिपुलेक र कालापानी विवादको गहिराइमा पुग्ने प्रयास गर्छौं, which has remained one of the most debated territorial questions between Nepal and India for decades. हामी political rhetoric भन्दा पर गएर 1816 को Sugauli Treaty लाई केलाउँछौं, the foundational document that defined Nepal’s western boundary along the Kali River। तर, उक्त treaty मा एउटा 'critical flaw' थियो—the undefined origin of the river—जसले गर्दा समयक्रममा historical maps र archival documents मा…

   Did Nepal Lose Lipulekh? What the Maps, Treaties, and History Reveal - English Version

   The Maps Changed. Did the Border? Can a border written in ink be erased by a change in geography? In this episode of Nepal Speaks , we explore the depth of the Lipulekh and Kalapani dispute, one of the most debated territorial questions between Nepal and India for decades. We go beyond political rhetoric and examine the 1816 Sugauli Treaty, the foundational document that defined Nepal’s western boundary along the Kali River. However, a critical ambiguity within the treaty—the undefined origin of the river—has led to differing interpretations in historical maps and archival records over time.…

   The Credit Trap - उधारको अर्थतन्त्र 🎙️ NEPAL SPEAKS

   The Credit Trap - उधारको अर्थतन्त्र नेपालको बजारमा धेरै व्यवसायहरू नाफाको अभावले होइन, आफ्नै कमाइ समयमा नफर्किने समस्याले संघर्ष गरिरहेका छन्। व्यापार उधार केवल पैसा नउठ्नुको कथा होइन। जब एउटा पसलले आफ्नो पैसा समयमा पाउँदैन, त्यसको असर अर्को व्यापारीमा पर्छ। त्यसपछि Distributor, Manufacturer, कर्मचारी, परिवार, र अन्ततः सम्पूर्ण अर्थतन्त्र प्रभावित हुन्छ। यो केवल Financial Issue होइन, यो Trust, Ethics, र Responsibility को विषय पनि हो। किन बजारमा उधार बढिरहेको छ? किन व्यवसायहरू दबाबमा छन्? यसले मानिसको सोच र देशको अर्थतन्त्रलाई कसरी असर गरिरहेको छ? यिनै प्रश्नहरूको गहिरो विश्लेषणसहित...

   This Is Bigger Than You Think - Kathmandu mystery

   In this episode, we explore Kathmandu from a different perspective — not just through history, mythology, or well-known narratives, but through the lesser-discussed layers that surround the city. The conversation moves beyond traditional explanations and looks at the idea of Kathmandu’s “mystery” as something shaped by perception, stories, culture, and the way people interpret the city over time. We reflect on how Kathmandu is often placed between mythological belief and historical context, yet still carries unanswered questions, symbolic meaning, and interpretations that go beyond…

   Road Chaos in Kathmandu: A Rider’s Reality

   Kathmandu को road issues today is not just a topic… it’s a daily experience. I myself commute every day, and honestly, every ride feels like a close call. Not because of one single incident, but because of a pattern. Chaos on the road has slowly become normal, and that’s the most dangerous part. No proper lane discipline, unclear traffic behavior, and random decisions on the road… सबै जना rush मा छन्, but nobody is really in control. And in the middle of all this, two-wheelers are the most exposed. Every day feels like “almost accident”, not once, but multiple times. अब यहाँ question…
