Back to roots | Travel Parbat | Ajay Pandey Nepal




Traveling teaches the importance of things. While traveling to mountain areas I got to know the importance of water, terai taught me to respect each and every grain of food. This picture reminds me of when I came to know about a song format called Salaijo. Biplab dae told me its history and much more about the cultures and traditions of Dhaulagiri zone. I believe every youth should visit at least twice a year to own village or another village part of the country just to understand the roots of culture, tradition and so on. 
My stay is Parbat was a lifetime experience. Thank you Biplab dae for the opportunity and wonderful hospitality.
