    NEPAL, BUTÁN Y TÍBET Reinos Budistas y Montañas Salida especial en grupo El reino del Nepal es un pequeño país enclavado en las faldas de las montañas más altas del mundo, de fisonomía alargada y poca anchura. Es un país donde abundan los lagos y cascadas, las llanuras y los valles fértiles, las nieves eternas de sus montañas y la jungla con fauna y flora de variadas especies. La vertiginosa altitud de los Himalayas y el recogimiento espiritual de sus gentes han condicionado para que este país sea todavía desconocido para muchos, aunque de gran atractivo para montañeros y gentes de todo el mundo en busca de paz. Bután es un país fascinante, sus paisajes se suceden como las imágenes de un calidoscopio. 1 Tiene exuberantes junglas tropicales al Sur, y al Norte la región de los Himalayas con sus nieves eternas. Encajonado entre India y China, este país ha conservado intacta su herencia del budismo y su población vive en armonía, en una unión mística entre el mundo real y el sobrenatural. El Tíbet, denominado "El Techo del Mundo", es una importante región histórica de Asia políticamente incluida en China. Sus peculiaridades derivan de su particular situación geográfica y de una población muy diferente al del resto de China. Entre risco y risco resuenan las palabras de Nyima Tsering: “Solo la armonía entre el cielo, la tierra y el hombre puede salvar el planeta. El paraíso no está en el cielo, como dicen los cristianos, sino en la tierra, y depende del desarrollo espiritual del hombre y de su esfuerzo por cuidar el medio ambiente”.

  • Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and Confusion: Music and Change In
    Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and conFusion: Music and Change in the Newar Communities of Nepal Subhash Ram Prajapati A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Shannon Dudley, Chair Christina Sunardi David Henderson Ratna Maya Magarati Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2018 Subhash Ram Prajapati University of Washington Abstract Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and conFusion: Music and Change in the Newar Communities of Nepal Subhash Ram Prajapati Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Shannon Dudley Music This dissertation explores the musical changes in the Newar communities from the 1920s to 2018. For centuries, the indigenous people from Kathmandu, the Newars have been practicing predominantly Hindu and Buddhist culture, inviting comparison with India before the Mughal invasion of the sixteenth century. Since Nepal was never invaded by the Mughals, the scholars argue that the Newars and their music offer us a glimpse into an archaic South Asian culture. The Newar musical culture, which is often contemplated as untouched tradition that has been in practice for centuries, these days is undergoing a lot of rapid changes in content and the context mainly as a result of media, migration, and modernization. In a relatively short period of time, there has been a huge increase in women participation in traditional music, the caste barrier has been heavily relaxed and some traditional musicians have paved a way for commercialization. On the one hand, traditional and folk music has been revitalized in many communities through newly formed gender and caste inclusive music groups.

This gives me an immense pleasure to acknowledge that NATHM has proven itself as a dependable academic ins tu on on for quality educa on on and trainings in the areas of tourism and hospitality management. The human resources produced and trained from here have greatly contributed to the tourism sector of Nepal. For this, I thank the en re staff of this ins tu on on for their con nuous eff ort. Skilled and trained human resources are never outdated because they always adopt new and compe ve skills in their respec ve professions. On top of it, tourism and hospitality are a dynamic sector which requires competent and professional human resources with uninterrupted supply. The present trend of growth and expansion of tourism industry all over Nepal will create more demand of human resources. I believe NATHM will func on to that expecta on. Tourism is growing in Nepal as new investment in pouring into this sector and people have started seeing their future in it. Government of Nepal has also laid special priority upon this sector as a sustainable source of foreign currency earning and employment genera on.

En effet, l’altitude du pays va de 60 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer, jusqu’au sommet le plus haut du monde, le Mt Everest, 8.848 m, le tout sur une distance de 150 km avec des climats allant du subtropical à l’arctique. Cette extrême diversité recèle une incroyable variété d’éco- systèmes : la plus haute chaîne de montagnes du monde, d’épaisses jungles tropicales riches de faune sauvage, de tumultueuses rivières, des collines boisées et de fraîches vallées. Au sein de cet environnement spectaculaire se trouve également l’une des plus grandes variétés culturelles qui soient. Le pays est un patchwork de groupes ethniques parlant plus de 70 langues et dialectes. Le Népal offre une époustouflante diversité d’attractions et de possibilités d’aventure qu’on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs sur la terre. Et vous pouvez participer aux nombreux festivals annuels célébrés tout au long de l’année, et dont le style traditionnel met en lumière des coutumes et croyances toujours vivaces. Nous sommes heureux de vous offrir notre chaleureuse hospitalité et vous souhaitons un inoubliable séjour au Népal.
