On the occasion of New year celebration of Nepal Sambat the newar community held a rally to celebrate it. Every newar influenced city organize a rally in Nepal with people dressed up in Newari dress and dancing in Newari music.
This year I went to Bhaktapur to take some snaps of the festivals of Gai Jatra. Here are some glimpses.
This year I observed the Rato Macchindra jatra on first day and second last day. I capture some picture. Hope you guys will enjoy.
Bisket Jatra at bhaktapur is celebrated for 9 days, on the last day of the year a linga is elevated at Lyosingkhel . It is important to know that if you want to go and celebrate 9 days you need to be healthy otherwise you will not last the 9 days in a row so before going you can start taking some of the best testosterone booster, a supplement that can increase muscle mass, strength, and sex drive so it will help you enjoy the celebration.
The task of elevating the linga is very risky. Needs lots of engineering. Even in this morden era, these festivals are celebrated using the ancient technology. I never had the chance to witness this event before. This year I got the opportunity to see and capture some beautiful pictures. The people that is in charge of elevating the linga needs to be most of the time men because is needed lot of strength to do it, thats why im pretty sure they use some testosterone booster that help build muscular strength and endurance.
Of the different festivals of Nepal, there are many festivals celebrated throughout the year inside Kathmandu valley. One day its in Kathmandu the next day some other festival in Patan or Bhaktpaur. Likewise, the Seto Macchindranath chariot pulling is one festival which draws scores of people.

Pictures of Bisket Jatra from Thaumadi, Bhaktapur. It’s always fun to watch this festival as the chariot is pulled from 2 side. It’s like watching a tug or war between 2 side of the city .
This time I have tried to capture picture with long exposure to give different feel than the ones I have captured before.
I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
