Travels

Earlier this month I travelled for Change Fusion Nepal to visit one of the finalists in the village of Mudikuwa.

The journey was long, but beautiful (airplane-taxi-trek). And even though the walk was only supposed to take 30 minutes, it took us 90...

We met with the man who has been organizing so many programs in the village including educating locals about entrepreneurship, offering soft loans, developing infrastructure, and more.




the two bidesi in this photo are from Holland. What I learned: ek haat yuni!
 A friend of theirs also stayed in the village a few months back and created this video:


After our visit, we stopped by Nepal's tallest jhulunge pool (hanging bridge). How a hawk must feel!

After our trip, we had one night/morning to enjoy Pokhara. A cousin of mine studying in uni drove me up to this point on his motorbike. We were down where you can see the buildings! The peak here is Machapurchare (fish -tail).


and here is an awkward photo of me
