  • खोलामा झोला । ढुंगामा डुंगा । पानीमा छप्ल्यांग । Packrafting- @ Indrawati, Balephi and Sunkosi River

    चार दिने यो पदयात्रा सहितको राफ्टिंग अनुभव हो । मार्च २८-३१, २०१३ अन्तिमको बाहेकका सबै तस्बिरहरू- पिटर एल्लेन । भिडीयो यहाँ छ । पहिलो दिन यात्रा खासमा कोटेश्वरबाट सुरुभयो जब पिटर र म भक्तपुर जाने बस भित्र छिर्यौ (यसमा मैले मट्टितेल खोज्न तीनकुने क्षेत्रभरी झन्डै डेढघन्टा डुलेको कुरा समावेश गरेको छैन) । कमल विनायकमा हामी…

By the time we reached Dolalghat I was very tired. My arms were aching. I was hungry. But the river was easy, I was in control of my boat, I maneuvered well and took the boat wherever I wanted. There were some scary moments but I handled them well. At Dolalghat, I got off the boat as a confident rafter. Fish and Sprite at Dolalghat. Then into a bus for Jalbire. When too many people came into the bus we decided to go at the top.

  • The Mahakali Bridge on Nepal-India Border

    Chandani & Dodhara villages: These two villages of Mahakali pari (beyond Mahakali) were connected to the mainland Nepal only in 2005 when the government built a 1452.96 meters long suspension bridge. The structure is quite a sight. The suspension bridge is 12 kilometers away from Mahendranagar town and is connected by a dusty road. A…
