All about photography, travel in Nepal | Sangesh Shrestha

The current world we live in is so advance. We have solution of everything. That was what I use to think few months back. The current crisis that novel corona virus created made me think are we so advance yet? The world is fighting back with the virus and still no one has solution for it yet beside keeping your self-isolated from public, if you are suspect then from your family members too.

Every year thousands of sadhus from different places come to pashupati nath temple in Kathmandu to celebrate Shiva Ratri. It’s one of the biggest festival of hindu where we worship Lord Shiva . This year pashupati nath temple premises are beautifully decorated .

It’s been a while I had any photography trip. Today 18th December 2019, I planned to go to ranikot, Bhaktapur with my friends. Did some research on google maps and thought it would be a perfect place to view mountain range during the sunrise.

Nepal reached the final of south asian games Men’s football final in the year 1999. It was held at Dasrath Stadium. We were so confident that Nepal will bag the goal medal. The atmosphere of the stadium so lovely. I still have a good memory of that final.

Nepal lost to Bangladesh 1-0 and the stadium was silence at the last moment. This year 2 players from that team were coaching the ladies and mens team. Both of them reach the final. Ladies team lost to India yesterday. It was coached by Hari Khadka. The men’s team is coached by Balgopal Maharjan.

It has been 20 years since I first witness the South Asian Games in Kathmandu. I Still have good memory of that event. I had made a 15 feet long Nepal’s Flag which I carried in every football match Nepal played. I wish I still had that flag but during the Royal Massacre my mom gave that flag to the crowd during the riots that held in Kathmandu.

Every year there is a rally going around the city during the first day of Nepal Sambat. Lots of people from Newar community take part in the rally with traditional Newari dress .

It’s been like half decade that we are facing a big problem for vehicle parking in Kathmandu. I still remember we used to park bike single lane at New Road and we used to pay 1 rupee. After the maoist insurgency the over flow of people all over Nepal to Kathamndu valley for safety made the valley to grow very fast and un-systematically.
