    Nepal, the world's second richest country in water resources having numbers of rivers and lakes, is an ideal location for fishing and angling. Population of all ages practice fishing as a main source of livelihood and devise ingenious and primitive ways of catching the different species of fish, creating a technology vastly different from that of today's industrial world. by: karimsakr Views[5388] Phewa Lake is the second largest lake of Nepal and also one of the most beautiful and majestic lakes of the country. It is a prime attraction for photographers, boaters and shore side strollers. Boats are a common form of transportation used by the locals, a source of living for fishermen and a wonderful way for the tourists to enjoy the adventure on water. Fishermen are seen paddling their boats close to the lake’s edge; it’s a unique job! by: karimsakr Views[654] A Tibetan refugee smoking hashish. Today, approximately 20,000 Tibetans refugees reside in Nepal. The vast majority of this population arrived before 1989. On the other hand, Cannabis has been grown in Nepal, in both wild and cultivated varieties, for an extremely long time. Even Sadhus, the mystics of Hinduism, are permitted to smoke hashish as part of their religious practice. by: karimsakr Views[701] Bicycles are considered a cheap and convenient way of getting around in Nepal, particularly around the Kathmandu Valley.

Increasingly, people are turning to bicycles as a remedy. by: karimsakr Views[353] In Nepal, the sacred grounds of the temples are considered as multifunctional educational place for impoverished Nepali children especially little girls. While the boys are out begging for money or food, little Nepali girls are safe inside the temples courts… Here they pray, learn about the Gods, and get to know the basics of being good future Nepali women… They spend most of their time playing inside the temples’ alleyways. by: karimsakr Views[357]
