The Craft of Making , Legendary weapon of Gorkha "Khukuri"

Among the many emblems of Nepali culture, the khukuri is, perhaps, the most recognised one. Once used to instill fear in enemies, the curved blade has now become the symbol of courage. Although it finds limited use in modern warfare, the khukuri still remains a versatile weapon.
The khukuri has been transformed into a multifunctional tool for the Biswakarmas, the traditional craftsmen who have been making it for generations.
In small pockets around Kathmandu, one can find these craftsmen burning metal and giving it the distinct curved shape. Photojournalist Kabin Adhikari visited one such factory near Manohara, Kathmandu.

Amrit Biswakarma (32) has been crafting khukuris from sheets of metal since the age of 17. The man from Ramechhap, northeast of Kathmandu, has left his son in his village of Goshara to make khukuris in Kathmandu.

When your internet is slow, it takes ages for a web page to load, hours to watch a 10-minute video on YouTube, your Skype connection fails most of the time midway during a conversation and it takes ages to complete even the simplest online tasks.

Kathmandu, the capital and largest city in Nepal, is like no other city in the world.

Kalinchowk At Winter Season

Well, the winters season is about to end in Nepal, and it is time for the spring season to set in. The season now offers one last chance for those interested in ‘playing’ with snow. Of the many places you could visit to see snowfall, Kalinchowk , around 149 North-east of Kathmandu, is the one of the safest for anyone who is in no mood to take risks. A short hike away from Kuri lies the temple of Kalinchok (4000m). This temple, dedicated to the Hindu goddess of Kali, stands at the top of the hill at the valley’s northwest end and stands firmly in the midst of eerie silence that is only perturbed by the occasional wind passing through the area. The hike to the temple complex will cover a stretch of 5 km.
