Hi,

Not so much travel so not so much to post here since I have started my working life... But keep posted... Things can always change ;)

In the meantime, I wish the blog might still help you traveling. I will still be available for any question!

Cheers,

This is similar to our Christmas but last much longer and is made of many rituals and sacrifices. After cleaning the houses, Nepali people prepare the different meal that will fill our stomach.

After all this adventures, we go visiting the family. At that time, everybody dress up properly and we go for getting the Tika, this red mix stuck on the forehead...





Kids get some money as well as the women... Men just give money... Everyone kiss the foot of older person...





Preparation for the Tika: mix of yogourt, rice and powder...





Everyones wear the traditional Topi...





In every house a altar is set up...
