    A Journey in to Nepal Visiting Nepal has changed my perceptions towards life. The thing taught by that lady with the weight on her back, or the kid with the sword towards the camera, cant be learnt otherwise.

    Nepal

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Nepal

    A view of Himalayas from Pokara. Pokara serves as a trekking base for the adventurous tourists. Watching the sunrise over here changed my perception towards life. It was the first time i realized how many days we spent in vein in running for money or a job in our life. despite all the sufferings we go through life for monetary success, Life remains something different and unchanged somewhere with its all beauty. After this experience, i decided to quit my job of ten years corporate life to have more moments like these. by: manikandanav Views[1253] Bhaktapur, A lady carrying loads to pottery square. Despite seeing millions of the tourists every year, people are really humble and content in their hard working daily life. Her smile irrespective of the weight she is carrying has the essence of the Nepal. It never changes the basic nature of their life no matter whoever visits them. by: manikandanav Views[866] Kids practising for the mask festival called Intrajatra, a festival for Intra, god of rain. After every monsoon season they celebrate the festival to say thanks to indra. Unlike other asian countries Nepal has never been contaminated with the thronging tourists. People still live a modest life, unchanged from their heritage. even these kids who are practicing the traditional dance were innocents without any inhibitions toward the tourists. by: manikandanav Views[572] Dharbar Square, Bhaktapur, Kathmandu. This Monumental Darbar square was Malla kings darbar till 1769 BC. In one place we can see Monasteries, Pagodas, Palace and Temples together. Irrespective of its tourism developments the village has been kept without any modifications in its architecture beauty. what we see in the left corner is a restaurent in a old pagoda. Even in the 21st century the life happens here in 17th century shadows. by: manikandanav Views[786] Pottery Square, Bhaktapur, Kathmandu. These pottery squares are world renowned. Here pottery is a family job, the place is common for all the villagers. so everyone in the village work together. their mundane life is part of their religious life too. so even in the common places we can see the temples and buddha statue everywhere in the village. by: manikandanav Views[1155]
