KATHMANDU: Nepal has been ranked as one of the best countries in the world to visit in 2017, according to Lonely Planet’s annual Best in Travel list. Publishing the travel list for 2017 on Tuesday, the world’s renowned travel guide has said that Nepal is the hottest destination for all budget travellers while the country came out on the fifth place among top 10 countries of the list “Nepal is the world’s number one destination in terms of service and value,” the Best in Travel 2017 list which showcases the top 10 countries, cities, regions and best value destinations for next year, added. The ‘travel bible’ notes that natural disasters can’t even keep Nepal down for long. “The 2015 earthquakes caused devastation, but what is most striking from a traveller’s perspective is not how much was lost but how much remains.” Landmark temples crumbled, but others came through with just the odd tile out of place, and whole swathes of the country escaped serious damage, includin...

एमसीसी भर्सेस बीआरआई : दुई महाशक्ति मुलुकको ‘ब्याटलग्राउन्ड’ बन्दै नेपाल

काठमाडौं सतहमा देखिएका छन्–चीनको बेल्ट एण्ड रोड इनिसियटिभ्स (बीआरआई) र अमेरिकाको मिलेनियम च्यालेन्ज कर्पोरेशन (एमसिसी)। विश्वका सर्वशक्तिशाली मुलुकहरु चीन र अमेरिकाका यी परियोजनामा नेपालले ५ वर्षअघि करिब–करिब सँगसँगैजसो हस्ताक्षर गरेको थियो। २०१७ को मे महिनामा बीआरआईमा हस्ताक्षर गरेकोमा त्यसको ५ महिनापछि अक्टोबर महिनामा एमसीसीमा नेपालले हस्ताक्षर गरेको थियो। यी दुवै परियोजनाको मुख्य उद्देश्य नेपालको विकासका लागि विभिन्न पूर्वाधार क्षेत्रमा लगानी गर्नु रहेको बताइएको छ। सतहमा नेपालको विकासमा लगानी दुई परियोजनाको उद्देश्य रहेको बताइए पनि दुई शक्तिशाली मुलुकबीचको ‘टकराव’ अन्तर्य हो। चीन अमेरिकी एमसिसी नेपालबाट फिर्ता जाओस् र आफ्नो बीआरआईलाई नेपालले अगाडि बढाओस् भन्ने चाहन्छ भने अमेरिका एमसिसी नेपालको संसदबाट पास गराएर आफू विश्वमा महाशक्ति मुलुक नै रहेको सन्देश दिन चाहन्छ। अर्थात् नेपाल दुवै महाशक्ति मुलुकको रणनीतिक ‘ब्याटलग्राउण्ड’ बनिरहेको छ। यसअघि श्रीलंकाबाट अस्वीकृत भइसकेको एमसिसी नेपालबाट समेत फिर्ता जाँदा विश्वमा नकारात्मक सन्देश जानेतर्फ अमेरिका सचेत रहेको देखिन्छ। त्यसैले अनु...
