Nepalese Top Sites

Type: News portal.

Main Feature: First to publish almost any breaking news in Nepal. News is otherwise updated regularly several times a day, often with photos.

Other features: Audio, video and photos. Weather and currency exchange rates updated daily. Polls. Links to all daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly news publications. It also offers several Nepali fonts for download.

Drawbacks: Many of the features clustered by small box advertisements on either side of the page. Poor design by comparison to other online news portals. The presentation as a whole could improve.
 

Site created by: Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd.

Type: Entertainment portal.

Main Feature: Models.

Other Features: eCards, Mp3s, music videos, artist profiles and wallpapers. Links to various websites they are affiliated to in the areas of entertainment and online portals of other interests, including afterslc.com.np and missnepal.com.np.

Drawbacks: Although their ‘model feature’ draws them the audience to make them #2 on our list, it is also perhaps the most controversy ridden aspect of their website, because often the girls are attired in the bare minimum and photographed in sexually suggestive and provocative poses by the webmasters. Cybernepal.com.np’s design has also spawned a number of copycats in Nepal, but the homepage is very cluttered with too many boxes of colours, images and texts.
 

Site created by: Dreams and Ideas

Note: Cybernepal.com.np has contributed a great deal towards the progress of web development and graphics in Nepal. The website is perhaps one of the first to achieve this level of branding/ popularity not just amongst web surfers but also the web site designing market in Nepal.

Type: A party management company’s website.

Main Feature: Photos of the parties and the partygoers.

Other Features: They have recently added a download section. Regularly advertises and lists various parties happening in KTM.

Drawbacks: We agree that Partynepal.com never creates a dull moment. But the design of the website is, unfortunately, quite dull, especially when compared to the advertisements on the front page.
 

Kamana Prakashan Samuha - The World Wide Web has spun its web in such a way that the whole world is engulfed by it. Almost everyone is affected by its profound impact- be it directly or indirectly. Kamana Prakashan Samuha could not remain untouched by this technological “treat” either.
With an objective to eradicate geographical boundaries and make our publications available worldwide, we launched newsofnepal.com on December 15th, 2002. Though started late, the official website of Kamana Prakashan gained popularity very quickly. The main reason behind it being the publications’ already established credibility. Now, we have visitors from the US to UAE, from Nepal to Nigeria, from Australia to Austria -basically from all over the world. This global recognition is numerically reflected by the total number of visitors which surged to 2,920,000 within 1-year (2002-2003).

Kamana Prakashan has proved its innovativeness time and over- from introducing Nepal’s first cine-magazine to becoming the first publication house to go international. Following this track, we developed an online portal in our very own national language. Being one of the pioneers in launching a Nepali website in Nepali helped newsofnepal.com build its own identity amidst existing websites.
 

newsofnepal.com has made it possible for visitors to view Nepal Samacharpatra (Vernacular daily), Kamana (Film-magazine), Sadhana (Health Digest) and Mahanagar (Eveninger) no matter where they reside.
