Life adventure

Life is an adventure or it's nothing at all

Women tattoo nepal


In 2011, 2 nepale friends and I went on a walk. My friends wanted to visit western Nepal, the most remote area of the country. In western Nepal, there are few GNO's and the development goes slowly, most of the NGO's being in the eastern part of the country. The area, is a strong center for the maoist forces, and during the war many schools were destroyed, and many villages deserted. Now, the war finished, and new Nepal in the making, the west is the least developped, making it the wild wild west that few visit.

Jardin des Rêves

"Ne gâche pas ce que tu as en rêvant de ce que tu n'as pas; souviens-toi que ce que tu as maintenant fait partie de ce que tu as espère." Epicurus (BC 341-270)

Avec ces mots de grand sage, on va continuer notre balade autour de Kathmandu. Après Swanbunath, direction le Jardin des Rêves. Niche a l'entree du quartier touristique de Thamel, le jardin est une oasis de fraicheur au milieu de la poussière de Kathmandu. Faisant partie d'un ancient jardin royal, le jardin fut laisse à l'abandon pendant quelques années. Finalement, le jardin fut redécouvert puis rénové avec l'aide du gouvernement Autrichien, pour en faire un des endroits préférés des amoureux de Kathmandu.
