KATHMANDU, Jan 30: Dal-Bhaat-Tarkari, a traditional Nepali meal comprising rice, lentils, and vegetables, has become widely embraced and integrated into the daily lifestyle of Nepalis, symbolizing the preference for vegan cuisine.

KATHMANDU, Dec 19: “I was a meat eater, but I stopped eating meat six years ago after my dog died due to poisoning,” said Sneha Shrestha, founder of Sneha’s Care which treats injured and sick dogs in the Kathmandu Valley.

Manu Karki lives a zero-waste life. When moving into her current home, she spent weeks hunting through different shops to find a metal dustbin rather than go for the easily available plastic ones. She is a vegetarian who is slowly transitioning to veganism. Most of the things she uses are non-plastic, she would rather thrift her clothes than buy new ones and she is willing to do everything in her power to be an environmentally conscious person.
