Journey
A smiling Tharu
woman wearing
unique hat to prepare
her from sun and rain
while working on filed
and walking as well.
While returning back on last day of
jungle trail, there was sudden and
extremely heavy downpour of rain that
caused the river, that we had to cross
back home, swell so dangerously that
forced everyone there to stop, bang
their heads, come up with the genuine
idea and implement swiftly. The elephant
that we rode was almost floating, a
serious affair. At last we managed to
come back safely to enjoy the rest of the
evening together with wonderful staff
and others present at the lodge.
Terai has very fertile land,
farming is main source of
income for local residents.
A herd of spotted deer deep
in Bardia National park.
Why go abroad, why spend foreign
currency, why worry about difference
in language and lifestyle, why you take
a chance to upset your stomach with
the food that you have never knew,
why spend long time in travel to and fro
of destination, why prepare passport
and do unpleasing formalities at the
immigration, you can find everything in
our Nepal so wealthy with diverse but
pleasing nature.
