All about photography, travel in Nepal | Sangesh Shrestha

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.

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.
