Sometimes exploring with different letters feels so satisfying.
This is one of it. I love calligraphy exploration.

A hill settlement with over 2,000 years of history, this quiet and isolated city thrives on its warm and welcoming hospitality.

Guess?

🙏 After decades away, home at last.

The 15th-century Akshobhya Buddha of Nhu Chhen Baha, Ombahal, was stolen from Kathmandu in the 1980s, one of countless sacred heritages lost during that sorrowful chapter of our heritage.

Documented in situ by Ulrich von Schroeder in 1976, the statue resurfaced years later at Tibet House USA and was repatriated to Nepal in March 2022.

This Buddha Jayanti (2570th), the deity was finally reinstated in its original shrine, thanks to the initiative of Kathmandu Metropolitan City and Ward No. 23. The Nhu Chhen Baha Kwapadya Guthi family welcomed their god home with tears of joy.

A reminder that heritage is more than a stone, it's living faith.

Hoiseee Haiseeee…! Biska in its full force, Bhaktapur

One of the most thrilling festivals in the world, Biska Jatra comes alive with an intense and electrifying tug of war that defines the spirit of Bhaktapur.

Captured on the first day of the nine-day, eight-night-long Biska Jatra in Bhaktapur, April 10, 2026.

A centennial celebration, held only once every hundred years. A magnificent day of joy marked by the grand exhibition of Dipankara and Bodhisattva deities of the Kathmandu valley, coming together in a single, extraordinary event. It is truly mesmerizing to witness such a rare celebration in our lifetime.

A tradition established by Bagh Narsingh Shakya (Lama Aaju) as 'Lasata Samyak Mahadan', has been celebrating since centuries. The last time this occurred was in 1983 BS (1926 AD).

Heritage is priceless, especially when shaped by the unique cultural boundaries of the valley that have endured for centuries. It is remarkable that we continue to honor and celebrate these pristine traditions, preserving their beauty and significance for generations to come.

It was merely a photowalk today. It was a quiet wander with my sixth sense wide open, letting the morning light and the environment sink in through my eyes, staying open to whatever there was to learn.

It was about slowing down and enjoying the rhythm of the streets and surroundings. I carried a camera but was chasing conversations; I was listening while also allowing moments to find me.

Love is endless. Once you arrive there, you remain there forever.

I have often noticed, particularly among older generations, how they carry their love in a way that becomes a lifestyle- something lived quietly, consistently, every day. There has long been an element of 'patriarchy' within these relationships, but times are changing. Today, the focus is increasingly on 'shared responsibility and equality'. Even many from older generations have adapted, learning and evolving with time.

This photograph was taken in 2023 during the Dashain festival. It is deeply heartwarming to capture moments like this- walking together, smiling, and making the most of life side by side, right until the very end.

Lights and Shadows
Winter mornings in the Kathmandu Valley mean one thing: chasing the sun.
For an entire day, we soak in every warm ray as the cold quietly wraps the valley.

A New Year at Ama Yangri!

How beauty lies in celebrating the New Year in a way that brings you closer to nature and lets you enjoy the view, manifesting hope for 2026.

I walked long after the Pikey Peak trek I did in 2022. I would like to go out more this year, experience nature, challenge myself more, and be hopeful for this year.

How interesting it would be to listen to music, enjoy nature and start a new year?
The new year 2026 was well spent with friends at the top of Ama Yangri. It's a beautiful, moderate hike to the top, and the view was mesmerising.
