Actually the new Nepali constitution does allow dual citizenship , but the sad part is there are no follow up rules and regulations created based on that, and it's more than a year already. The saddest part is you guys, should be lobbying and demanding the rights to the Nepali govt based on the new constitution but you guys are not even aware of what the new constitution has granted . some bluntly say, it's not granted and it' s now allowed. Some day, you have to get NRN card. Some say, use one passport to enter and use another to exit.
So here is the update, the new Nepali constitution does allow the continuation of the citizenship after you naturalize in a foreign country, but they have not made any rules based on that yet. Neither , they seem to care, nor you guys are aware of it to put demand, pressure etc , so the chances of using the benefit of dual citizenship legally based on the new constitution is very slim to none. Yes, the NRN card is still available, but that is what was based on the previous constitution, now the new constitution grants better things for NRN, so it's up to you guys to demand that. It's like you have a masters degree now, but you're working with your 8th grade certification.
don't try to hustle Nepali immigration authorities with using 2 passports.since new laws are not passed they can legally ban you from entering Nepal and you have to sneak from India to go to your own place of birth.

14. Power to grant non-resident Nepalese citizenship: The non-residential

citizenship of a foreign country, has resided in a country other than a member
state of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, and who or
whose father or mother, grandfather or grandmother was previously a citizen of
Nepal by decent or birth but subsequently acquired the citizenship of the
foreign country that such person may enjoy economic, social and cultural
rights in accordance with the Federal law.
