The unexpected journey in the Kingdom of Lo
When the country was in turmoil and life was hit hard by the blockade in the plains of Nepal, four friends from Damauli decided to do something unexpected. They packed their traveling gears, gathered whatever fuels they could and headed out to one of the most epic journey in the Kingdom of Lo, Upper Mustang. Enjoy the video where they travel to the magnificent Zhong Caves, beautiful Dhumba Lake, the Muktinath Temple and witness the live snowfall. Epic adventure, lots of fun.

Backpacker’s Valentine
May you never be too busy to go to Mountains…. The Heart beats and the Mind wanders. My soul craves to roam somewhere else leaving my physical body. Longing for adventures to come. Thrills of joy .Somewhere far away, pathless woods awaiting. This kills me. Maybe its time for me to leave, to go away from everything, the crowd, noise, attachments, just everything that’s around. Bored,restless; I can’t breathe here anymore. Screaming Echoes in my head . Dead, I feel inside. Numb,nothing left. Stuck,drained. Storm in my calm mind, fire in my burning soul and a mess in my eyes. Always dreamed of living. Frustrated, baffled. Running, awaiting storm, dwelling…

Annapurna Circuit Trek
Every once in a while, I dream of waking up someday to find that I’ve got wings all of a sudden and I can fly. Even if I couldn’t fly all over the world, I wish to see all the places in Nepal. In the past five years, my dream and the reality were like day and night that never overlapped. With every morning, my dream fades away along with my sleep but my enthusiasm never dies, hope remains and my wandering zeal prevails. Who needs the wings to wander? A Leopard doesn’t need wings to run like a wind and elephants walk gracefully without wings. This is the feeling…

मनकामना यात्रा, भुकम्प पछिका तिता मिठा अनुभव
श्री गणेश : ( यात्रा अघिका कुरा) मनमा तरङ्ग, बितरङ्गहरु जोश, शक्ति र बिश्वास अनि अाट `घुमन्ते´ नामै यस्तै छ । धेरै जस्तो अन्य कार्य र पढाईमा ब्यस्त हुने भएकै कारणले सनिवार वा अरु बिदाका दिन घुम्न निस्किने बानी । बानी भन्दा पनि लत नै लागिसक्यो भन्दा ठिक होला । युवा अवस्था जोश –जागर र अाट गर्ने बानी को त कुरै नगरौ । वर्षा को मौसम यसपालि घर मात्र बसिराख्न अल्छी लाग्ने । लगभग ४० वटा जिल्ला घुमेको अनुभव बटुल्दै नजिकै ४० कि मिमा (दमौली बाट ) अवस्थित मनकामनाको हिडाइ गर्ने योजना पारित भो हामी दुई साथी बिच । सनिवार भनिएको हिडाइ कारणवस शुक्रबार नै गरौ भन्ने धारणा अर्का घुमन्तेको…

Mardi Base Camp Calls
Like every other October that passes by, this one was filled with buzz and excitement too. The mountains were calling and I was ready to roll. Not everyone answers to the calls from the mountains – but no matter how much we want to deny the desire to travel, there is an element of curiosity in all of us. Join us on this amazing trek to Mardi Base Camp within the laps of Machapuchhre and Mardi Himal (Mountain). A four-day trek that commenced with three people soon turned into eight people. As they say, you will find heaps of like-minded people while traveling and so did we. The three of…

The Forbidden Kingdom!
After 4 hours of bumping our heads and bodies inside the jeep from Chhusang, the three of us were finally in the Lo-Manthang Village, Upper Mustang. The view that we witnessed from there made us completely forget about the tiring jeep ride. We were afraid if it might rain but Driver Dai told us that the people of Upper Mustang get rain only two/three times last year. Then the most amazing thing happened. When we got out of the jeep, two snowflakes gently landed on my palm. I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was the first time I had ever felt the snow and it was amazing. But then it stopped. We later thought that maybe it…

Holidaying in the Street: The echoes of Patan
Mountains are always inviting, the hills are always welcoming, the plains are truly vibrant, but many a times in life, we are bound by the concretes. The city just does not let us go anywhere. While trekking, hiking or camping would ideally come to our minds for a recreational vacation and exploration, the city and its spaces through its concretes can also provide sufficiently to celebrate a weekend in a unique way. Kathmandu Valley is both profane and sacred. While this city seems so indifferent and is sandwiched between the ugly towers and its shrinking rivers, the city has its own unique charms to keep you awestruck, if you are…

Visit to Sauraha
It was a cold morning in the month of Mangsir when we started our journey from Kathmandu to Sauraha. We took a tourist bus to get there and reached to our hotel in late afternoon. The weather over there was cool and welcoming. The trip has been exciting to us. For me, it was the first time I have ever been to terai and the topographical distribution left me enthralled. And for my husband, because of his photography passion, it has been an opportunity to capture the exotic beauty of Sauraha again. After having lunch, we got to meet our tour guide. He gave a brief introduction about…
