Nepal-Entering the Kingdom of God and Stepping into the Snow Mountain Paradise

Be sure to get out more. When you get old, what will impress you the most is those things that are different from daily life!

Nepal, known as "the poorest country in the world", may be messy or noisy, but for all people who love mountains, it is a name that can never be avoided-it is the country with the greatest difference in surface in the world, and it is home to 8 of the 14 independent snow peaks at an altitude of 8,000 meters in the world.

There are no traffic lights here. Besides airplanes, motorcycles are the fastest means of transportation. The narrow streets are covered with dust, and jeeps that shuttle wildly pass by. Buses without doors are generally overloaded, and people can't find smooth asphalt roads.

Backed by the Himalayas, Nepal has eight peaks over 8,000 meters, from Mount Everest at an altitude of 8,844.43 to the southern plain at an altitude of 100 meters, with the greatest geographical features. In Nepal, you wear short sleeves and look up at the vast snowy mountains. Think how amazing it is.

Nepal has a long history and splendid culture, and many dynasties have left brilliant relics for Nepal. Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha Sakyamuni, is the only country in the world with Hinduism as its state religion, and is called the country of gods. The tolerance of Nepalese nationals also accepts other religions and Hinduism.

Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal)

fragrance

When it comes to Kathmandu, everyone's first impression is the dust coming from the face.

The photos of Kathmandu city are hazy, as if bathed in sunshine. However, the reality is that this hazy picture is partly due to sunshine and partly due to dust. Kathmandu is a city standing in the dust.

In addition to dust, Kathmandu's architectural streets are also a wonder. There are almost no high-rise buildings here, but its compact houses and narrow streets have made the first-tier cities with land and money give up. Although shabby and crowded, the house price here is 5 1000 yuan!

In dusty alleys, dilapidated taxis appear quickly, pass through quickly and hide quickly, so you have to marvel at the driver's skillful driving skills. Because of its flexibility, motorcycles are the fastest means of transportation besides airplanes.

pashupatinath

fragrance

Paspa Tina Temple was built in the19th century and is one of the most important Hindu temples in Kathmandu. Non-Hindus are not allowed into the main hall.

Tina Temple in Paspa is located on the Bagmati River, with six open-air cremation platforms. Death in the sea of fire happens here every day.

Nepalese believe in Hinduism. In their teachings, cremation is a farewell ceremony of life, and the ashes of the deceased will be scattered into the Bagmati River, then gathered in the Ganges River, the sacred river in the Indian plain, and finally merged into the sea.

There are ascetic monks sitting on the shore, silently watching all this. They live in a temple on the river bank, where the symbol of Shiva, Lingjia, is enshrined. They believe in Shiva and worship Lingjia, and believe that people have to be reincarnated several times after death to enter heaven. According to Hindu teachings, the only way to enter heaven directly is asceticism.

Boda Hafta

fragrance

Boda Harvard Pagoda is the largest circular pagoda in the world and one of the world cultural heritages. There are exquisite religious decorations here, which are worth taking some time to feel.

Bodhida Hafo Tower was built in the 5th century A.D. The outer edge of the tower base is engraved with a small relief of 108 Amitabha Buddha, dyed with red paint and wearing yellow flowers.

The prayer flags fly with the wind, and people tie them when they make a wish. The national flag has five colors, representing the five basic elements that make up the world. Red is fire, blue is sky, white is cloud, green is water, and yellow represents the ground. It is printed with Buddhist scriptures to bless all beings.

On the periphery of the stupa, there is a wall inlaid with prayer wheels. From morning till night, you can see many believers holding beads or prayer wheels and circling clockwise along the stupa. As I turned the tower, I recited Buddhist scriptures and names.

For thousands of years, every day, believers hold prayer beads and turn the prayer wheel clockwise, all of whom are praying devoutly. It has gradually become the settlement of Tibetan Buddhist believers and is called "Little Tibet".

Bodhidha Hafo Tower is as important to Nepalese people as the Great Wall of China. No matter the ups and downs in the world, Buddhism is boundless and ubiquitous.

Qitewang Forest Park

fragrance

It is said that in the hearts of Nepalese people, apart from countless gods, the most proud thing is this unspoiled strange forest park, which has ignited hope and vitality among the mountains.

Nepal is rich in wildlife resources, and the jungle has gathered one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, various deer, bears, crocodiles, wild boar and various birds.

This place is not only a gift from nature to Nepalese, but also a green treasure of all mankind.

Pokhara

fragrance

It is often called "Little Switzerland in the East" and "Walking Paradise" by world travelers.

About 15km east of Boccara, there is the second largest lake in Boquera Valley-Bognas Lake, and the third largest lake-Rupa Lake. There are very few tourists coming here, so Lake Bognas is much quieter than the tourists in Feiwa Lake.

The name "Little Swiss in the East" comes from Boccara's rich natural resources. Anna Poorna, the tenth highest peak in the world, is located in Boccara, with an altitude of 8090 meters. It is famous for its pointed and straight tinder, and it is also the earliest peak with human footprints among the ten peaks.

The peak of the nearest "Fishtail Peak" forms a fishtail shape with the connected mountains. Its altitude is only 6607 meters, which is not high among the world's peaks, but its peak is very steep and has not been reached yet.

There is also a century-old building. The doors and windows are surrounded by decorative wood carvings. The billboards are full of narrow paths, shuttling between colorful rickshaws and streets. It feels like crossing back to the 1980s and 1990s.

Anna Poorna

fragrance

The tenth highest mountain in the world, 8093 meters above sea level, is located in Nepal in the middle of the Himalayas. Anna Berners consists of a series of peaks. In addition to the main peak, there are many independently named peaks, including the famous fish tail peak.

Boccara is one of the most famous paragliding sites in the world. Everyone can enjoy flying as long as we overcome the fear of high altitude. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and overlooking the panoramic view of Feiwa Lake, it is a wonderful feeling to land slowly on the lake.

Paragliding from the top of Salanko Mountain is definitely the most exciting sport in Himalayan region. Paragliding has a special coach to fly with you. You just need to appreciate the Amber Fava Lake under your feet, and let the brand-new visual experience give you a brand-new Boccara perspective!

Badegang

fragrance

Nature gave Nepal the most beautiful gift, the Himalayas, but it also gave Nepal the most dangerous earthquake.

1937 earthquake caused serious damage to Badegang, and more than half of the historical sites were destroyed. A major earthquake in April 20 15 once again damaged one third of the historical sites in Badegang to varying degrees. In its heyday, Bade Gang is said to have built 172 temples and Buddhist temples, which is shocking and regrettable.

Tao Dou, a pottery-making skill with thousands of years in this city, is another title of Bade Gang.

Most people in the city know this craft, and men, women and children have passed on the craft of making pottery for thousands of years. Now, in the ceramic square, pottery of various colors and shapes is spread out all the way, which is dazzling and extremely spectacular. Facing the sunshine, elderly craftsmen sit quietly under the eaves, dig out the prototype of pottery by hand, or draw various patterns on semi-finished pottery bowls.

Nagar Kurt

fragrance

Known as "the observation deck of the Himalayas". Because it is the widest place in Kathmandu valley and the best place to see the Himalayas.

Watch the panoramic view of Himalayan snow mountain here. Himalayan snow-capped mountains hang horizontally in the air like jade belts. If the visibility is high, you can also see Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.

Why do you have to go to Nepal once in your life?

Why is Nepal worth going again?

Perhaps the answer lies in the name of Nepal: Nepal: endless peace and love ~
