Kartik Naach in Patan

Hey everyone! I recently had an amazing time in Patan, Nepal, where I got to experience the incredible Kartik Naach. This traditional dance, also known as Kachhalā Pyākhan, takes place every Kartik (October or November) and is a beautiful blend of culture and entertainment.

The performance unfolded late at night, making it even more magical. Dancers, dressed in stunning deity costumes, took the stage, enchanting the audience with their rhythmic moves and lively music.

What stood out was the cultural richness of Kartik Naach. The performers brought stories to life through their dance, creating a vibrant tapestry of tradition. The late-night setting added an extra touch of magic, as colors popped against the darkness, and the beats echoed under the starry sky.

What I loved most was the sense of community and devotion. It wasn't just a performance; it was a shared celebration of culture and spirituality. Kartik Naach in Patan is more than a dance; it's an immersive experience that brings together tradition, community, and the joy of late-night entertainment.

If you're ever in Patan during Kartik, don't miss the chance to be a part of this enchanting celebration.

A visit to the Swoyambhunath Temple

I woke up early in the morning around 5 a.m. to visit the temple. It was a bit dark this morning but the morning breeze of fresh air was all I needed. I reached to the foot of the hill where the temple was situated at around 5 45 a.m. . As I climbed the steep stairs that led to the temple, I was surrounded by the sounds of the resident monkeys, who were busy playing and grooming each other. The early morning light was just beginning to filter through the trees, casting a soft glow on the temple and its surroundings. Those long stairs were tiring and felt like never ending. It felt like every step I take was a climb to the Mt. Everest. Haha ! Just kiddeing. It was hard though. Though in every step I only thought of who would even make such insane steps. Finally, when I reached the top of the hill, I was greeted by the stunning sight of t

This historic square is like a time capsule, filled with stories of royalty, stunning architecture, and vibrant traditions. Basantapur Durbar Square, or Kathmandu Durbar Square, tells tales of royal events and ceremonies.
