From the Editors

Kathmandu Tribune was founded in 2017 as an independent news site committed to clear, careful reporting on Nepal. In 2025 it was reimagined as a literary and commentary journal — quieter in its rhythms, devoted to poetry, fiction, essays, reviews, and serious commentary in both English and Nepali.

We publish writing from Kathmandu, the South Asian diaspora, and elsewhere. Our work is independent, unpaid, and free to read.
