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.

As per the Lonelyplanet.com, Nepal is the 5th Country to visit in 2017.Others 9 Countries and the details are as follows,

1. Canada
Bolstered by the wave of positivity unleashed by its energetic new leader Justin Trudeau, and with dynamic cities that dominate global livability indices and a reputation for inclusiveness and impeccable politeness, the world’s second-largest country will usher in its sesquicentennial in 2017 in rollicking good health.

Nepal is on the List of Top 10 Slowest internet connection in the world

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.
This can be blamed on the ISP, but in some countries, the ISP’s cannot do much about as country itself may lack the infrastructure to deliver high internet speeds. Keeping this in mind, here are the 10 countries with the world’s slowest internet speeds.
10. Malaysia
The internet was introduced in Malaysia in 1995. That’s long enough. But the country has failed to latch on to the internet as it should and offers an average internet speed of only 1.2 Mbps. Malaysia is ranked no. 71 in the world as far as its internet connectivity is concerned.

11 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Nepal

Nepal draws visitors who come for a variety of reasons. Some are lured by the call of the mountains and seeking to climb or trek in the Himalayas, others are intrigued by the culture and the famous city of Kathmandu, and yet others come hoping to find some sort of spiritual awakening. Nepal can be an adrenaline adventure, a cultural eye opener, or a life-changing experience, depending on the itinerary and mindset of the traveler.

Most visitors will spend some time in Kathmandu visiting sacred and historic attractions, and then head out into other parts of the country. Some of the most popular locations outside of the capital are Chitwan National Park for wildlife viewing, and the lakeside town of Pokhara, a popular area for starting treks. Trekkers will find a variety of options, with the most popular areas being the Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang regions.

In 2015, a major earthquake struck Nepal, causing severe damage in Kathmandu and other areas of the country. Travelers should check on local conditions before visiting.

1 Kathmandu

Kathmandu, the capital and largest city in Nepal, is like no other city in the world. The decaying buildings in the heart of the city are a contrast to the lively atmosphere that permeates the streets. The smell of incense wafts from the stores while street sellers push their wares, and people go about their daily lives, all against a backdrop of historic temples and carved statues.

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.
