That day seems nowhere in sight. However, there are places a little outside the city that still have water at its plunging and roaring best. This is a description of two of the most spectacular waterfalls in Kathmandu’s vicinity. TEXT BY KAPIL BISHT ith Kathmandu’s major rivers polluted almost to the point of solidification, the sight of clean flowing water has almost Wvanished from our city. Fortunately, there are places close to the city where you can still watch spectacles of flowing water. And it doesn’t get better than waterfalls. The cool spray from the crashing water invites you to go closer; its thunderous sound and great volume of water warns you to keep a safe distance. But nothing can beat standing below a waterfall, drenching in its cool water. To do that, you needn’t go too far from Kathmandu. It is fitting that Sundarijal, which means “Beautiful Water,” has one of the best waterfalls in Kathmandu’s vicinity. The waterfall is located a few minutes’ climb from the bus park at Sundarijal, past the old hydroelectric power plant. Locals call it Shyalmati Waterfall. It is also known (presumably among teens) as Sweet Sixteen Waterfall. Its location could not have been better. It appears just as you are starting to feel the pain of the climb in your legs. The cool misty spray from it is a blessing for walkers, who can also rest in a nearby shelter and watch the Bagmati River emerge between huge boulders in a milky jet. Another wonder of tumbling water is located at Baudeshwor, in the northwest corner of the Valley. The place is also known as Jhor Mahankal. Unlike the Shyalmati Waterfall, this is a seasonal waterfall that transforms from a small stream into a roaring spectacle during monsoon. Both waterfalls are in the countryside. So a trip to either is both an opportunity to behold the poetry of water in motion as well as to be in the refreshing surroundings of fields, forests, quaint villages, and medieval towns. Kapil Bisht is a freelance writer based in Kathmandu. He has a keen interest in the Valley’s culture and is always on the lookout for sources that can help him better understand its richness. When he is not holed up in his room-library, he likes to trek to remote destinations. 7 GETTING THERE SHYalmatI Buses leave frequently for Sundarijal from Must Haves Special Things the Old Bus Park in Kathmandu, going to Remember via Putalisadak-Gyaneshwor-Gaushala- Both waterfalls involve short climbs (and SIDE-TRIPS Chabahil-Jorpati.

  • 1 Zoey Garland AGR*1110 Manish Raizada November 23, 2014
    1 Zoey Garland AGR*1110 Manish Raizada November 23, 2014 Bringing Commercial Wine Production to Nepal 2 South Asian Nepal’s food industry is quite self-sufficient; they grow what they need and sell excess products at the market. Nepal’s population is just under $27 million and agriculture accounts for 36.1% of the countries GDP. Just over 76% of the workforce in Nepal is involved in either animal or crop agriculture (Bell 2014). Due to these statistics any improvement in yields or greater contribution to agriculture in Nepal would lead to substantial benefits to their growing country. Currently in Nepal wine is made from fermenting aiselu and chutro berries, which grow in the wild, in plastic barrels. Indulgence of wine in Nepal is steadily growing however it is most popular to the wealthy Nepalese and European tourists. The idea as a whole is to increase the production of traditional wine made in Nepal by exporting wine making supplies made by Canadian companies and shipping grape seeds, that are also produced in Canada, to be grown in vineyards in Nepal. Together, production of red and white wine can bring a source of income and jobs for the people of Nepal. Product Information: Both the aiselu and chutro berry grow in the wild in Nepal and are ripe for harvest from March to May. Traditional winemakers in Nepal hand pick these berries, mix them with sugar and yeast, and then let them ferment in plastic drums for a month at a time. The wine that is currently made in Nepal is in high demand in the European Union (EU) but the production could not meet the amount required and therefore income is limited for exports (Dahal 2010).

  • 1.1 Background of the Study
    CHAPTER- IINTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Nepal is a "multiethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-cultural and diverse regional characteristics country"(Constitution of Nepal 2015). Nepali society and culture is identified as diversity of various caste, ethnic and indigenous people, and their colorful cultural practices. The social and cultural life of people has unique feature. People originated in Tibet live in mountainous ecological belt and have the practice of Buddhism. The People of Indian origin live in South part and practice Hinduism. The country is the homeland to 125 caste/ethnic groups, 123 languages and 10 religious groups. The total population of Nepal is 26,494,504. Among them, indigenous peoples (IPs) comprise 35.8 percent of the total population (CBS, 2011). In 1996 NepalJanajati Mahasangh produced a list of sixty one nationalities (janajatis) covering all the ethnic minorities of the country, including Newars. This list subsequently reduced to fifty nine was recognized by the government in 2002 (Toffin, 2009). Nepal has legally recognized 59 indigenous nationalities, referred to as Adivasi Janajati. The country has entered into a new State structure with promulgation of new Constitution in September 2015. Indigenous peoples, also known as first peoples, aboriginal peoples or native peoples, are ethnic groups who are the original settlers of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently. Groups are usually described as indigenous when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with a given region. Not all indigenous peoples share this characteristic, as many have adopted substantial elements of a colonizing culture, such as dress, religion or language.

  • National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity

The CBD was ratified by Nepalese parliament on November 23, 1993, and enforced in Nepal since February 21, 1994. The revised Nepal’s NBSAP for 2014-2020 is a comprehensive framework for translating the Aichi targets into national action and achieving the nation’s goals to conserve the biodiversity. A s of th e Article 26 of the Convention, Nepal as a Contracting Parties is required to submit national reports to the CBD Secretariat on measures taken and the progress achieved since the adoption of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), and the effectiveness of those actions in meeting the Convention’s objectives since the 5th national report was submitted.
