What began as a small project has now turned into an artist-initiated grassroots social movement. Living your dream can prove to be the toughest road, and yet the MANDU most satisfying. Kailash Neupane, the chairman of AaVa Group, packed his bags and camera and left a life in Australia to live his dream. Established around two years ago, AaVa Group seeks to capture the flawless beauty of the far-western region along with its dark sides through the documentary, Black in Beauty. 5 Reasons to watch Black in Beauty by Kailash Neupane: 1. The beauty of the places in the far west of Nepal, such as Deuda, Api, and Saipal, are mostly just read in books. This documentary contains the visual spectacle of these places. 2. The documentary shows that places like Pokhara and Chitwan are not only the places in Nepal worth visiting. It proves that the prospect for tourism in the Far West is exhilarating. 3. Black in Beauty also portrays the sense of humanity of the Far West, side by side with its prospects and problems. Inexplicable through words, it can only be explained visually. 4. Along with its beauty, this documentary also focuses on the “black” parts of the region, which includes a severe lack of economic development and infrastructure as well as social and individual issues such as a reliance on extreme superstition. 5. The youth should be helping the nation in any way possible. This documentary encourages the youth to stay in Nepal and try building the nation.

  • Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal
    Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal with Nepal Environmental Buddhist For Buddhist tourists around the world, a pilgrimage to a holy Buddhist destination is perhaps, the one that gives the most satisfaction. It is a journey that brings them closer to their religion by enhancing their appreciation for its principles, beliefs and philosophies. Nepal is home to two of the most holy of places connected with Buddhism. These places are directly related with Lord Gautam Buddha. Lumbini, the first and most important of the two, is the birth place of Gautam Buddha while Kapilavastu is the place where he grew up, witnessed pain and sorrow of life and ultimately decided to give up everything in search of enlightenment. Hindu From ancient times, Nepal has been the place of origin for the Hindu religion and the holy place of Lord Pashupatinath. For centuries, mythology and mystique has swept the land and there are numerous temples, mosques and monasteries. Hindu pilgrimage tours or 'Tirtha Yatras' are considered an important way of attaining salvation. However, people of all faiths and religions have dreams of visiting these revered spots as a pilgrim to invoke the blessings of their Gods and obtain forgiveness for all their sins and escape the divine wrath. Hindu pilgrimage tour in Nepal Nepal is not only known for its natural beauty but also as a cultural melting pot where two of the oldest religions of the world co-exist in perfect harmony- Hinduism and Buddhism. Dating back thousands of years, some of the oldest religious sites in Nepal are revered as the holiest places for salvation by Hindus and Buddhists.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
