What’s so special about Lumbini ?

Image
Buddha passed away at the age of 80. Before he left, he asked his disciples to visit his birthplace Lumbini, at least once in their lifetime. He also asked them to spread this message among others. He said that it could be their first step towards salvation. One of the major attractions in that place is the Ashokan pillar, built around 250 BC by the Indian Emperor Ashoka, to mark the birthplace of the ‘Light of Asia’. It was found in around 1896 AD after which the area was recognized as one of the four main Buddhist pilgrims’ site. Another attraction is a holy pond, it is said that Mayadevi, mother of Buddha, took a dip inside the pond before giving him birth and also, where Buddha had his first bath. The most significant structure there; is the Mayadevi temple which has been built upon a shrine that marks the exact location of Buddha’s birth. Now, there’s something interesting found here recently. Archaeologist Robert Coningham and colleagues, from Du...

How to Find a Toilet in Kathmandu | Big Problem | It's Solution

Image
  How to Find a Toilet in Kathmandu? People often remark on the lack of infrastructure in Nepal and I agree. Sometimes even finding a clean toilet can be a problem. I’ve learned a few tricks during my 5 years in Nepal this is one of them. First, you can ask to use the toilet anywhere and no one ever seems to mind, however you will find toilets locked in many businesses. Someone will be happy to provide you with a key. You will come upon some toilets that are monitored by a woman who sits there and expects 5-20 rupees per use. Sometimes these toilets are a bit cleaner, but not always. The cleanest toilets are at banks. I was quite surprised to find a condom dispenser of free condoms in the ladies toilet in the Standard Chartered Bank in New Banaswhor, but it’s the same with most toilets at banks. This is usually convenient, but keep in mind that banks close early on Friday and there are many holidays.  The city of Kathmandu has recently started provided m...

Naturally Nepal Once is Not Enough

Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt.

Facts You Need To Know When You Travel in Nepal.

Image
Photo credit : Noé - turtletramp.com Nepal is so much fun : each day is a surprise, a new adventure, a learning. You will have to make your own mistakes to get to know the culture, but here are some little tips that might help you during your first days on this sacred land : 1- Your black coffee will be filled with sugar. You crave for a black coffee. A big, tasty, strong black coffee. No milk, no sugar; you like it 100% black. Here you are at a local restaurant, ordering your holy Grail. It arrives, in its beautiful dark robe, and all your senses are arising. You take the warm cup between your hands, smell this delicious aroma, and prepare your lips to kiss the exquisite beverage. All the sudden, the divine moment collapses : the taste of your succulent coffee is masked by the sweetness of a ounce of white sugar. Urgh. You go to ask for another coffee without sugar, and you end up with a black-coloured water slightly tasting like coffee. You do the mistake once, and twice, a...

Shivapuri Hike Trek | Nepal Trekking route

Image
Shivapuri National Park is widely popular among the people who love to hike and trek in Kathmandu. This is definitely one of the best things to do in Kathmandu. Just for a day’s hike it’s a very tiring but refreshing walk or rather a hike in the lush damp green forest which is totally worth every aching muscle in your legs. I had heard about Shivapuri hike being great and been to Nagi Gompa on an excursion via jeep drive rather than a hike. So, I was pretty excited to finally hike there. Oh God, there is a whole bunch of hikes and treks still on my wish list! For this trip, my best friend and I grouped with our new friends from Champadevi hiking Alina and Pramesh along with two new people Sailendra and Manish. We gathered together in Lazimpat, Kathmandu near Sangrila Hotel at 6ish in the morning, (I am NOT good at keeping track of time!), had some tea break at a nearby shop which was fortunately opened and served morning tea, afterwards which we headed towards Budhanilkantha o...

A Tourists’ Guide to Celebrating Holi in Nepal

Image
A Tourists’ Guide There is one Hindu festival I look forward to more than any other here in Nepal, Holi, or the Festival of Colors. Its history is interesting, but the experience is amazing. Although the Hindu epic that began this tradition was about the death of a demon and good triumphing over evil, like Easter’s original roots, it may be more about celebrating the birth of spring. I have to admit that it is much more fun than an Easter Egg hunt.
