10. History and Varieties of Darjeeling Tea
August 10, 2016

Born in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the shadow of the mighty Mt. Kanchenjunga, Darjeeling tea is an exquisite tea first grown by the British during their rule over India. Before the British won the area from Nepal in 1816, Darjeeling was a mostly unpopulated forest, which they then converted to a hill station for the soldier’s sanatorium. The cool mountain air helped them to recuperate and the serene setting relieved their illness and fatigue. In 1835 the region was ceded to the East India Company. It was then that Dr. A. Campbell, Darjeeling’s first Superintendent, experimented with pl... (read more)

13. India Hopes Nepal PM Resignation Will Pave Way for Warmer Ties
July 25, 2016

NEW DELHI— India hopes the resignation of Nepal’s Prime Minister, K.P. Oli, will pave the way for a restoration of warm ties with New Delhi. Oli had steered the Himalayan nation closer to China, which has been trying to increase its influence in South Asia. However, analysts say Beijing’s growing footprint in Nepal may be there to stay. Oli resigned on Sunday just before a no confidence motion that could have toppled him.  The two large groups that pushed for his removal, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center) and the Nepali Congress are expected to form a share...

The Bengal Tiger (P.t. tigris) is the most common of the subspecies, found predominantly in India (where the majority of Tiger watching tours take place), but also in... (read more)

May 23, 2016

KATHMANDU, NEPAL— An Indian climber has died while being helped down Mount Everest, just a couple of days after a Dutch and an Australian died near the peak. Two other Indian climbers are missing, and experts say some of the tragedy may have been avoidable.

May 04, 2016

KATHMANDU— Earthquake-stricken Nepal cut its economic growth forecast on Tuesday for the fiscal year that ends in mid-July to the lowest in 14 years, saying persistent fuel shortages after a blockade of its border with India have hampered economic activity.
