All about photography, travel in Nepal | Sangesh Shrestha

The first Prime Minister that I know was Late Mr. Marich Man Shrestha. It was during my primary school days that one of the teachers ask us “who is the Prime Minister Of Nepal” and the class said, Mr. Marich Man Shrestha. At his time we saw blockade from India. I still remember staying in the queue for kerosene, sugar, and salt.

It’s been more than 2 months we are in lockdown. I got the opportunity to visit Bhaktapur this time. Whenever I introduce Bhaktapur, I call it “Living History” as I see the traditional house and still old people wearing a traditional Newari dress.

It’s been almost 2 months that we are under lock. Few weeks back I got the opportunity to visit Bouddha, Swayambhu, and Patan Durbar Square and took some pictures of those heritage sites. This week I was able to visit Kathmandu durbar square.

Lock down a.k.a house arrest. It has been more than 50 days now. Many family have been financially struggling and more families will soon face financial hardships. Good thing is that there is still good supply of basic daily necessities like food and medicine.

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.
