About

One glance at the day

EkJhalak is a bilingual news reader for Nepal. It gathers what the country's newsrooms and the major international wires published in the last few hours, removes the duplicates, and puts what is left on one quiet page you can read in English or Nepali.

What it is

EkJhalak reads the public feeds of roughly 40 newsrooms — Nepali dailies and broadcasters alongside international outlets — several times an hour. Each story is summarised in the language it was published in and then translated into the other, so the same page serves a reader in either language.

Stories that several newsrooms ran are recognised as one story rather than five, and that count is shown on the card. It is the only popularity signal on the site, because it is the only one we actually measure.

What it is not

EkJhalak does not employ reporters and does not break news. Every story here was reported by somebody else, and every card links back to the newsroom that did the work.

It does not host full articles. What you get is a brief — enough to know whether the story matters to you — and a direct route to the publisher for the rest.

There are no advertisements, no sponsored placements, no recommendation engine and no infinite scroll. The order of the page is decided by how many outlets covered a story, how much weight the source carries and how recent it is, and by nothing about you.

Who runs it

EkJhalak is built and operated by Nirajan Karki, an independent developer. It is a personal project rather than a company, and it is not funded by, affiliated with or editorially directed by any of the newsrooms it links to.

How it is paid for

It is not. There is no revenue, no advertising and no paid placement, and nothing on this site can be bought. If that ever changes it will be written here first and marked plainly on the page.
