NIGHT WALK IN BOUDHANATH

NIGHT VIEW BOUDHANATH


BOUDHANATH



Speciality About BOUDHANATH

There is nowhere quite like Boudhanath. Asia’s largest stupa pulses with life as thousands of pilgrims gather daily to make a kora (ritual circumnavigation) of the dome, beneath the watchful eyes of the Buddha, which gaze out from the gilded central tower. Tibetan monks in maroon robes and with shaved heads wander the prayer flag–decked streets while pilgrims spin prayer wheels and stock up on yak butter and tsampa (roasted barley flour). This is one of the few places in the world where Tibetan Buddhist culture is accessible and unfettered, and the lanes around the stupa are crammed with monasteries and workshops producing butter lamps, ceremonial horns, Tibetan drums, monks’ headgear and the other paraphernalia essential for Tibetan Buddhist life.



Myth About Boudhanath



Once in ancient Nepal, there lived a very grumpy, rude and irreligious man. He was detested by everyone and never did anything pious in his life. He owned a shop in the city complex, but hardly anyone came to his shop because he spoke ill of everyone who came there. When he died, he fell straight to hell. Just before he was to be sentenced for his sins, The Buddha appeared and nullified his sentence. When the demons asked The Holy One why he did this, The Buddha answered, "Yes, this man has committed many sins in his life, but once he circled around Boudhanath while chasing a dog.he had gained a little merit; thus, the buddhas shall grant him one chance to atone." After this incident, it is believed that if a person has committed great sins, they can circle around the stupa--if only one time--and be granted one chance to atone for their sins.



Here, You will find the most peaceful environment, as this place is made after lord of peace GAUTAM BUDDHA. The hymn sound of peace music everywhere, will divert your mind from outside world and make you forget everything and let you enjoy the moment. 

It was New Year Eve 2016. Me and my friends were at boudhanath. We had planning on celebrating new year eve so to add more memory we visited boudhanath. The best thing about boudhanath is the peaceful environment and the lightning around you. 




Every where I travel I only  think of one things, collect memories by doing something crazy. 

It was late night and we were just circling boudha. There is some kind of feeling when you circle the boudha. We were excited as it was our re-gathering and  celebration in boudha. Those lights were surely attract you so were we. You won't regret travelling boudhanath so do visit this place. 

Trip to SIDDHABABA -2

With this cute girl DEEPIKA


Look at that Smile, One in a million. 


On my tour to Siddhababa, I went to get some food to one small hotel. I order a tea and as I was drinking tea a sweet voice come from back. A beautiful natural high pitch voice. As I look back to see who is calling me with this beautiful voice, I saw this girl calling me UNCLE, UNCLE. I kept looking at her because she was calling looking at me but I didn't know her, I haven't seen that face ever in my life. She approach to me and she was still calling me UNCLE.

As she was coming forward I was curious to know who is she coming to. She came to me and said Uncle, I was surprised all that time she was calling me uncle and I don't even know her. I asked her are you calling me and with innocent face she said yes and signal me with moving head up and down.

I wanted to talk to her because I was more curious than ever. I put her in my lap and talked with her for a while. I asked her, do I look like your uncle then she replied yes. In that moment I felt I wish I was her uncle. You can't imagine how I was feeling. I talked to her for a hour. I was looking at her smile and cute little eyes. A child with innocent face is cutest of all.

Till today I remember her. How can I forget her. Anytime someone call me from back I imagine she was calling me but every single time there was someone else. I am really missing you. I promise next time I visit SiddhaBaba I will surely come meet you.

What made Siddhababa more memorable than ever? 


Well,I love to cliff jump so obviously this waterfall attract me to the cliff jump. Some of you may have already done cliff jump. You know the feeling right. In that height jumping under a waterfall yup, it is best. If you visit Butwal do check this waterfall, one can easily reach here using Micro-bus or Motorcycle what you have.

What I can never forget about this place is the smile of this cute girl. I was hungry and went to grab some food.  I was there for a while and suddenly a small kid appear in-front of me. She as cute with those beautiful eyes and smile. . A small talk with her attract me to this place more than waterfall, anything.

Trip To Pokhara




Pokhara City

   History of this City


The geographical studies reveal that centuries ago a glacier was formed in the valley. As the time passed, the temperatures steadily increased and the solid ice melted and formed a river that began flowing, cutting into the soil of Pokhara. The regular flow of glacial waters created several underground tunnels. Currently, most of these tunnels are dry and are found in the form of caves.

Why it is so Special?

It is next face of heaven. The environment creates very peaceful and sound effect in our mind. Just imagine yourself in the middle of temple surrounded by lake from where you can see the mountains above 8000 meter and those mountains  reflection will be under you.
Imagine Yourself here

Here I go:

I am very good at planning but worse at implementing it and I am cool with it because most of people out there are also like me maybe you too. I didn't want to follow any orders or anyone disturbing me while I am travelling so I choose to go by myself rather consulting the travels company or guiders. 

         I started my tour with couple of tourist. I was sitting next to window in bus, you can't imagine how I feel. One side there is deep rivers flowing with you and another side big mountain, If you fall your death is sure and I wasn't scare because of death but instead what if I miss the view of Pokhara. Passing the forest and crossing the river finally reached my destination. It was night so I missed the natural view but you can't ignore artificial view.


Early morning, coffee with lake in-front of you. Then I went for side scene and to collect some memories from this city. there are many adventure to do in Pokhara. each and every day I spend there was unforgettable.            

Affordable hotel with best Nepali meal will surely attract you so be prepare for that.






























DON'T JUST READ TRAVEL. IMAGINE YOURSELF HERE.
