With every journey I undertake, I discover new things about Nepal and her beautiful people. A deep sense of realization as to how I have taken Nepal for granted many times. And it is only through travel will I unlearn what has been fed to me. Recently, I have been walking the western hills of Nepal, talking to people and taking pictures. A few of these villages are quite remote but pristine. The nature here is a feast to the eyes and the people are holy – innocent, welcoming and resilient. Amidst all hardship of poverty, years of neglect, social ills and unfriendly geography, they still prevail with their heartfelt stories of daily struggles and there hopes and dreams. What will follow is my experience of talking and listening to their stories. In Gulmi. In Arghakhachi. Some laughter shared, some songs sung and some tears shed.
