The easiest answer would be: who knows?
Because there is no way anybody can correctly answer the question. The same question was asked to me when I was discussing ‘Nepali Blogging: Around Feb 1 & Now’ – a discussion organized by Martin Chautari last week and I said, “Well, it’s very difficult to track the personal blogs. But regularly updated blogs are between two to three dozens.â€
How wrong I was. I found that a week later when Anamika of Say Na Something asked me the number of Nepali woman bloggers. Initially I emailed her saying – just TWO. A day later, Deepak told me there were two more blogs – Avinashi and Unshared Thoughts. How did I miss them?
So I tried to search for more Nepali woman bloggers and every time I did some labor, I will find more. The number grew and I was amazed to see results. Some were blogging like professional bloggers, some had blogged for a few months and stopped. Some were leisurely blogging – but none-the-less there was quite a few woman bloggers – I sent a total of eight links to her. (And I didn’t do much tried to get into blogs hosted in MSN Spaces because they open too slow in my browser!)
After finding those, I couldn’t even estimate the number of blogs run by Nepali – even though I have listed a lot of them in NepaliVoices.com, I believe this is just a chunk for the pie. I will certainly find more in coming days and thus thinking may be it would be better if I list them only on the separate page – not on my sidebar.
I don’t want to reveal all the woman bloggers’ blog because Anamika is working on an entry which I hope also to put up here. But if you know blogs by Nepali bloggers not listed on my sidebar, please send the links to me so that I can TRY to keep track of them.

Ujjwal thank you so much for your help. Of course I will let you know when my blog will complete about Female blogger’s world!
Dear Ujjwal Jee,
Thanks for nice report. I,too, was thinking of preparing such reports. It would be very good if we can bring all the bloggers under one banner.
Regarding some missiling links: the first one is Lokatantra blog, operated by researchers and students in Japan. Like Nepalese bloggers, we too tried to gather Nepalese opinions in support of Lokatantra. This blog was started from around February.
For Say Na Something,
I am eagerly waiting your article. I believe this will be great to have an article on Nepali female bloggers.
For Suresh jee,
We have almost agreed to form a Bloggers Association of Nepal (BLOGAN). You will receive an invitation to join the association soon.
NepaliVoices in meant for coverage of Nepali blogosphere. It will have articles on blogging, link to Nepali blogs and I am also thinking of having interviews of bloggers on it. Do you like the idea?
I am also constantly looking for new bloggers and will update them frequently. Thank you for the link.
Ujjwal Jee,
Thanks for intimation. Yeah, I love the idea. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts with all of you.
Hi Ujjwal ji,
Great idea.
Can you please have the full name of my blog…Our Dream alone doesn’t really reflect the full title.
Thanks,
Hari
I am sorry, I forgot to include the full title. It is: Our Dream – a Prosperous Nepal
We are also blogging!!
Sometime back I too was glad to find some very good nepali women bloggers. And this article and site of yours opened more links for me now. Great job. Keep it going!

This is in support of Change in KU which forced nepotistic Suresh Raj Sharma to change the constituion of KU upside down. You can not miss this own. And of course its sibling http://www.academiainku.blogspot.com
Encouraged by the responses. I am hoping to add a few more blogs in the days to come.
One Day Nepalivoices will be heard all over the world. I would suggest we do a bloggers meet once every 2-3 months. This will encourage more people to join blogging and existing bloggers to will get motivation to blog regularly.
