1We are delighted to present issue 65 of the EBHR, which brings together political, anthropological and historical perspectives, providing multifaceted aspects of the region, with a special focus on Nepal.

2In this issue, Jarmila Ptáčková and Uddhab Pyakurel examine the far-reaching impact of state-imposed mobility restrictions along the China-Nepal border during the COVID 19 pandemic. Their analysis sheds light on how these measures have reshaped the lives of cross-border communities in the years that followed.

3In view of the forthcoming national parliamentary elections in Nepal in March 2026, Pawan Sen examines Nepali citizens' evolving perceptions of the state. Through a detailed analysis of public opinion polls, he explores how two decades of political transformations have been received – or contested – by the people.

4Janice Sacherer invites readers on a journey to the remote Rolwaling beyul, a hidden sacred valley nestled in the upper Himalayas. Her article traces the history and significance – particularly for Sherpas – of this little-known spiritual sanctuary.

5Matthew Maycock takes us to the western Tarai where, through a longitudinal study, he traces back over the effects of formal schooling on the social status of former Kamaiya bonded labourers. His work highlights the changes in levels of education within this community since its emancipation.

6This issue also features an interview conducted by Mark Turin with actor-producer Asha Magrati and director-producer Deepak Rauniyar. This exchange scrutinises their approach to issues of caste, hierarchy and marginalisation, as well as the political economy of film-making in Nepal and the complicated path to finding a global audience.

7This is followed by two conference reports that showcase the vibrant landscape of Himalayan research. Laurianne Bruneau and her colleagues report on an archeological conference held in the United Arab Emirates, while Asmod Khakurel documents the way Nepal, through the Sagarmatha Sambaad (Mount Everest Dialogue) initiative, is attempting to position itself as a global leader in addressing mountain and climate issues.

8To round off this issue, we include two book reviews, offering our readers a glimpse into the recent scholarship in Himalayan studies.

9We hope you find this issue informative and inspiring. Enjoy your read!
