Life is beautiful

I recently scanned old photos in my possession from tens of years ago. These are the pictures from remote areas of Nepal. Achham is my birth place, obviously looking at those pictures brings vivid memories of visiting the place as a school kid.

To travel to Achham, we fly to Safebagar airport. Then, we literally have to walk 12 hours through mountains, passes, and rivers to get to my village(Sugali). However, the scenic beauty of the area is so attractive you never get tired of walking the perilous journey. There are ample falls, high mountains, enchantingly musical rivers( the strong river currents actually make sonorous sound), and of the big rocks you are walking on.

Chandanbari is yet another beautiful place popularly regarded as little rest area village on the way to Langtang National Park. Chandanbari is in Rasuwa district which is about 10 hours drive from the capital, Kathmandu. Rasuwa district, situated at about 120-km north (32 nautical miles) of the capital city Kathmandu has a total area of 1544 sq.km.; it seems like a short distance but due to the long mountain winding roads, the travelling speed is greatly impeded.

place itself, and also as a resting point on the way to either Langtang Trail or Gosaikunda Trail. From this place, you can see lots of snowy mountains like Langtang, and the Ganesh Himal. Also, there are few falls to be seen from this village. This link provides more detail if anybody is interested:http://www.discovernepal.com.np/pdf/Rasuwa%20Fam%20Trip%20Report.pdf

This picture with a group of my friends was a picnic trip to Dolalghat in Sindhupalanchok. It is about 4 hours drive from Kathmandu. I am sitting in the middle with my blue shirt on; I greatly miss all of those friends from high school. I have not a slightest idea where they are today and what each of them are doing! But I guess that is just a simple fact of life ! You keep moving on or departing from great moments time and again.
Peace.
