In a landmark verdict in 2007, Nepal's Supreme Court ordered the government to end discriminatory practices against its estimated 350,000 LGBT citizens and paved the way for equal rights. In 2011, Nepal added third gender categories to its census and citizenship cards.
Nepal's constitution, endorsed by its parliament on Sep 16, 2015, states that sexual and gender minorities may not be discriminated against by state or judiciary.
An LGBT zine open to all genres and all types of work related to LGBT issues: short stories, poetry, essays, how-to articles, book reviews, STD and HIV/AIDS materials. Works both in English and Nepali languages are accepted.
Blue Diamond Society was founded in 2001 in an effort to address the needs of Nepal's GLBT sexual minorities including Meta, Dohori, Ta, Hijra, Singaru, Fulumulu, Kothi, Kotha, Strian, Maugia, Panthi and others. BDS offers community-based sexual health, HIV/AIDS, and advocacy services for local networks of sexual minorities. It provides a drop-in center (DIC), outreach work and clinical referrals for its constituents.
Gay and lesbian travel and tour agency for Nepal. The organization founder is gay and has, for more than a decade, been an advocate for LGBTI rights in Nepal.
Professional gay and lesbian trekking agency in Nepal. Expedition and tour packages for gay visitors who wish to explore the nature, adventure, pilgrimage, meditation, natural therapy, culture, history, archeology, food, and diversity of Nepal.
Gay and lesbian friendly tour operator who has employed gay staff in the office to better understand gay travelers. They operate tours and treks. Do write or talk to their local expert who loves to customize tours for LGBT travelers or friends of the community.
Population is over 2 million (that's about 80,000 Utopians).
Popular with expat gays. Service is gay-friendly, prices are above average. Interiors and definitely has the queer eye.
Fri and Sat nights best. Very gay-friendly environment. Mixed but you can find gay people also.
Cocktail bar frequented by gay people.
The city's first LGBT bar and restaurant. Created by the gorgeous Meghna Lama, a transgender woman who has been portrayed in a documentary film. The place features nightly live music by local bands that serenade with Nepali, Bollywood and Western pop and it attracts a large number of dance queens. Meghna herself is a fantastic dancer. You can enjoy a dinner here with a menu of local and international food. An intoxicating place in the heart of this mythical city.
Ratna Park, the local meeting place, has been completely reorganized and cleaned, and there's now an admission fee of RPS$25, which killed all activity there (furthermore, the park is closed at sunset). All the cruising has moved to the surroundings of the park itself: after dark, some discreet cruising in the open area south of Ratna Park, in the adjacent toilet (urinals, RPS$5, some discrete action there while the keeper closes his eyes), the adjacent overpaths (especially the big overpath at the northeast corner of Ratna Park. BUT, always beware of hustlers (males and shemales), police, etc, and NEVER carry any valuables. Mostly poor to middle class men, including students.
A branch of the most popular Naga restaurant in Delhi. Serving a mesmerizing blend of spices and dishes includes Naga Viper Pepper and Axone (fermented beans), in an authentic bamboo and wood setting with tribal motifs. They also host photo exhibitions, culture talks, music events and food festivals. A great friend of the LGBT community, the owner has supported gay artists and workers in India and Nepal.
Live music.
Open 24-hours.
Advisory: Nepal is one of the most open and liberal countries in Asia for LGBT rights. Since 2006, Nepal is a secular state where the LGBT community is visible in its diverse culture. Nepal has become very progressive towards the identity and issues of LGBT, becoming the first country in the region to decriminalize existing laws against gay sex.
