Overview  Ps emns dlS;]g-ylS

Yakthungnews.com will focus on national and international news with other related educational and informative articles regarding yakthung group or Yakthung community.  This is entirely dedicated to Yakthungs with non-profit taking service.

 The original meaning of Yakthung meaning, Kiratas, and Thibong Yakthung meaning, Ten Kiratas.  Now the same meaning has been narrowed down to only Ten Limbus which appears to be quite unscholarly.

The original habitation of Yakthungs is known as Limbuwan the eastern part of Nepal.  The southern part is bordering to Terai region of Jhapa and Morang to Indian border, Eastern part is bordering to Sikkim, India to the  KanchanJongha Himalayan Range, northern part is bordering to Tibbet, China, Sewalungma the Himalayan range.  Western part of Limbuwan is bordering to Arun River.

Currently Yakthung Limbus are being spread to all over the Globe.  However, mainly in Kathmandu valley(Kathmandu, Lalitpur & Bhaktapur), Sikkim, Darjeeling, Asam, Meghalaya, Hong Kong, UK, Canada and USA are in a significant numbers.

The other point is about the change of religious status that is being the biggest threat and challenge to our Culture and Religion keeping alive.

We try our best to make it Trilingual online news such as Yakthung Paan (Limbu Language), Nepali and English.
