ABOUT US

About Herne Katha

We humans are driven by stories. It is stories that connect us, and stories that drift us apart. 

Herne Katha is a web documentary series which tells the tales of the extraordinary lives of ordinary people and communities in Nepal. 

Our project, which began as a labour of love, has now reached unimaginable heights. Herne Katha is now more than a series; it has become a collective movement. With over 1.6 million followers and 200 million views over 7 years, the stories from Herne Katha have managed to bring together people from all walks of life, within Nepal and globally. 

Narrated in a journalistic style, Herne Katha provides a radical approach to storytelling. We feature unheard, marginalized and silenced stories from Nepal. Each episode features a different part of Nepal where the local communities will tell us their stories – in their own words and in their own style.
