There is no shortage of news about Nepal. What is short is time. A single event can reach a reader as dozens of near-identical posts, and a worker on a lunch break in Doha or a night shift in Seoul has minutes, not an hour. WeNepal was built for that reader. Its tagline says it plainly: Nepal, in minutes.
This article explains what WeNepal is, who it is for, what you will find there, and how its relationship with Lacspace works.
What WeNepal is
WeNepal is independent news for Nepal, reported and published by the WeNepal newsroom in Nepali and English. In its own words it is “a summary and explainer layer over Nepal’s news, built as software first so it is fast, clean and light on ads”. A typical story gives you the facts in a short summary, three key points and one line on why it matters.
It covers twelve sections: politics, economy, NEPSE, society, Kathmandu, provinces, world, sports, technology, culture, environment and health.
Who it is for
- Readers in Nepal who want the main news of the day, checked and in plain words.
- Nepalis abroad, in the Gulf, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Australia, Europe, the Americas and elsewhere, who want to stay close to home in the language they prefer.
- Families that read in two languages: a parent who prefers Nepali and a child who prefers English can read the same day’s news side by side.
- Anyone outside Nepal who follows the country for work, study or travel.
Two editions, written separately
The English edition lives at wenepal.com and the Nepali edition at wenepal.com/ne, and you can switch on any page. WeNepal says the two are not machine translations of each other: each story is written in each language’s natural order, so the Nepali reads like Nepali and the English reads like English. Dates appear in both Bikram Sambat and the Gregorian calendar.

What WeNepal says it is not
- Not an opinion site. It reports what happened and who said it. Its own opinion, when published, is labelled “Editorial”.
- Not a copy of other outlets. It writes in its own words and does not republish other publications’ articles, photos or videos.
- Not a government service. It does not represent the Government of Nepal or any public body.
- Not a place for invented numbers. No made-up view counts, likes or ratings: a number is real or it is not shown.
How those promises are enforced, check by check, is in How the WeNepal newsroom checks every story.
Where Lacspace fits
WeNepal’s About page separates two roles, and the separation matters.
Lacspace is WeNepal’s technology provider. It supplies the technology infrastructure and hosting that the site and the app run on, and it has no say over what WeNepal covers or publishes. WeNepal describes it this way: Lacspace “works like any software vendor: it does not choose, edit or approve stories”. Every page of WeNepal carries the line Technology infrastructure: Powered by Lacspace.
Where to find it
- Web: wenepal.com in English and wenepal.com/ne in Nepali.
- App: free on Google Play and the App Store.
- Channels: YouTube (@wenepalnews), Facebook, Instagram and Telegram.
- Feeds: RSS, Atom and JSON, for everything or by section.
The identity behind all of this, a blue N crossed by a crimson news pulse, has its own story: The pulse mark: inside WeNepal’s brand.
