I love to travel since childhood specially in hill area, even I used to dream of traveling towards Himalayas. As years had accumulated I had been influenced by many travelers and reading, searching many books that was related through it and felt someday I’ll travel too.
I have started traveling from early age however I didn’t think ever that one day it’ll be shared my travel experience within all of you.
Traveling is something else for me it’s like meditation. Just imagine if we can live our whole life as alive each and every moment.
KATHMANDU CITY
Couple of year ago my friend suggested and motivated me for writing a blog and taught me some basics knowledge of Blog and helped me for making a blog.
It was month of October 2013, it has been starting holiday for Dashhera festival and I was searching a place where we could travel easily with friends for some days.
It was evening time my cell phone rang while I received call it was from a friend who lived in Kathmandu Nepal and he was inviting me to visit Kathmandu and I have figure out about Kathmandu however I had visited Kathmandu in 2003 but now It has developed a wish inside me to visit there again after receiving call.
Next day I told to my friends and they accepted my proposal happily, now we have fixed our destination and it was Kathmandu, Nepal.
BHAKTAPUR DURBAR SQUARE
It is not enough to fix travel destination, it needs to know basics of
traveling and it has to face many obstacles to fulfill our dream and same
situation occurred with us.
We decided to visit Kathmandu by Air so, I had to book air tickets and boarding was from New Delhi.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
Throughout the year however most of devotes preferred to visit in month of Febuary-March because MAHASHIVRATRI festival is celebrating every year during February-March month and that festival celebrating for lord shiva.
I would like to thank my friend Santosh Subedee who took us many parts of Kathmandu valley.
