Help in Kathmandu

Greetings all. Hoping to see if any LSers know of a good fixer/assistant working in Kathmandu. Going to be there from April 4-13 for elections and would love to have a couple of contacts going in. Thanks very much. Cheers, Michael

Before you head off to the Himalayan kingdom, make sure the elections are actually happening !

I can vouch for Sailendra. We worked together in Nepal during a chaotic year in 2006. Sailendra’s smart, amiable, tri-lingual, well connected, and he knows Nepal extremely well.
