In a landmark verdict in 2007, Nepal's Supreme Court ordered the government to end discriminatory practices against its estimated 350,000 LGBT citizens and paved the way for equal rights. In 2011, Nepal added third gender categories to its census and citizenship cards.
Nepal's constitution, endorsed by its parliament on Sep 16, 2015, states that sexual and gender minorities may not be discriminated against by state or judiciary.

The city's first LGBT bar and restaurant. Created by the gorgeous Meghna Lama, a transgender woman who has been portrayed in a documentary film. The place features nightly live music by local bands that serenade with Nepali, Bollywood and Western pop and it attracts a large number of dance queens. Meghna herself is a fantastic dancer. You can enjoy a dinner here with a menu of local and international food. An intoxicating place in the heart of this mythical city.
Ratna Park, the local meeting place, has been completely reorganized and cleaned, and there's now an admission fee of RPS$25, which killed all activity there (furthermore, the park is closed at sunset). All the cruising has moved to the surroundings of the park itself: after dark, some discreet cruising in the open area south of Ratna Park, in the adjacent toilet (urinals, RPS$5, some discrete action there while the keeper closes his eyes), the adjacent overpaths (especially the big overpath at the northeast corner of Ratna Park. BUT, always beware of hustlers (males and shemales), police, etc, and NEVER carry any valuables. Mostly poor to middle class men, including students.
