Nepal For Hyper Loop Connectivity with India and China

Kathmandu, Nepal



In the heels of securing train and water access to India and China and after successfully, disbanding Transportation Cartel in Nepal, Nepal government is planning to implement “HyperLoop” transportation system in near future. According to a highly placed source, Government of Nepal has realized the importance of connecting Asia’s two big and economically growing countries - China and India for prosperity of Nepal. However, current mode of transportation isn’t likely to meet the needs of the future. 

China and India with world’s largest populations and rising middle class offer Nepal’s best chance to enter an era of unprecedented growth through trade and tourism. “Look, Out of over 2 Billion population in these countries, there are at least 600 million people who could potentially visit Nepal for tourism, however, due to poor infrastructure, distance and cost, it’s very difficult for most people to come to Nepal,” said a tourism official.  

To facilitate fast movement of people Nepal plans on requesting China to support construction of HyperLoop developed by Elon Musk’s Space X under China’s One Belt One Road Initiative during Prime Minister’s anticipated visit to China Soon.

HyperLoop is a vacuum tube train that is designed for very high-speed train. Due to low resistance, the train can attain speed up to 1200 Kilometer per hour, faster that current commercial airlines. 

“Hyper Loops makes the perfect sense,” said the official. “It will not require digging winding roads and railway through difficult terrain like the train. Since it’s all underground can be all-weather operational avoiding difficulty to move across Himalayas in harsh winter,” he said. “Plus we now have a solid experience working in tunneling,” he added.


Government plans to handover the construction responsibility of hyper loop tunnel to Melamchi Water Project team. “They are some of the world’s best experts in tunnels. They have had over 20 years of experience in tunneling in Nepal and have just achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in tunneling through 26 Kilometer long tunnel in the country. No one in the world knows more about Nepal’s fragile mountain geography and tunneling. Over the last 20 years they have learned about every single rock and minerals along the way,” said the official. 

The Ministry of Transportation has already reached out to Elon Musk’s organization. Musk is said to be jubilant to have received such a proposal. “This is bigger than going to Mars,” said Space X founder. 

Once completed in 2040 above 100 million people can regularly make fast and inexpensive trips in just 3 hours from Beijing to Kathmandu. The government has plans to extend the Hyper Loop to connect to Delhi, Capital of India connecting world’s two rising capitals.

विद्यार्थी भर्ना मात्र गर्ने कि टिकाउने पनि !

नेपालमा नयाँ बर्षसँगै नयाँ शैक्षिक वर्ष पनि सुरु हुन्छ। यसैको मौकामा २०७५  साल सुरुवातमै प्रधानमन्त्री केपी शर्मा ओलीले  एक जना विद्यार्थी स्कुल भर्ना गर्नुभयो। अभियान सुरु गर्दै सबैलाई नेताहरुलाई ‍कम्तिमा एक जना विद्यार्थी भर्ना गर्न अाव्हान पनि गर्नुभयो। अहिले शिक्षामन्त्री, प्रदेश मुख्यमन्त्रीहरु, वरिष्ठ नेताहरु, सांसदहरु लगायतले विद्यार्थी भर्ना गराइरहेको समाचारले प्रमुखता पाइरहेको छ।संविधानले सबै बालबालिकासम्म शिक्षाको पहुँच ‍निर्दिष्टता गरेको ‍परिवेशमा देशको नेतृत्वले गरेको यो प्रयास सरहानीय ‍हो। तर नीतिनिर्माण तहमा रहेको नेतृत्वलाई यति कदममै रमाउने छुट भने छैन। शिक्षा मन्त्रलाय तथा अन्य अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय संस्थाको तथ्यांक अाधार मान्दा, भर्नाभन्दा पनि स्कुलसम्म पुगेका केटाकेटी त्यहाँ कसरी टिकाउने र गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा कसरी दिने भन्ने अबको धेय हुनु पर्ने देखिन्छ। अब पहुँचमा भन्दा गुणस्तरमा समय र परिश्रम धेरै गर्नु पर्ने देखिन्छ। शिक्षा मन्त्रालय, युनिसेफ, तथा विश्व बैंकका तथ्यांक अाधार मान्ने हो भने, नेपालमा ५-९ वर्ष उमेर समूहका झण्डै ९७ प्रतिशत केटाकेटी स्कुल भर्ना हुन्छन्। यो द

King Gyanendra weakening slowly but surely.

Reports coming out of Nepal say that King Gyanendra has cancelled visits to New York to attend annual United Nations General Assembly. Today’s Kantipur, referring to highly placed sources at Ministry of Foreign Affairs, writes both internal and external pressures culminated in cancellation of trip. After three years in power, King Gyanendra finally seems to have felt the heat. As King resorts to autocratic means on the back of extreme conservative elements in Nepal, he is alienating himself from almost every major political and economic actors in Nepal. Mainstream political parties, led by young leaders are openly championing the republican agenda. Recently, CPN (UML) went on the republican march and Nepali Congresss Party by muting its bylaws on the question of monarchy has shown that it no longer considers monarchy as an essential element in Nepal’s polity. Further, the huge mass demonstrations led by leader of civil society have openly challenged the status-quo tilt of major mainst
