UPPER MUSTANG (LHOMANTHANG) TREKKING

Upper Mustang Lo Manthang Nepal Trekking

Mustang is one of the few places in the world that has long-lived a very close-niche life and that region was, until recently, inaccessible to outsiders. This isolation helped the people of Mustang to maintain their lifestyle and heritage that remained almost unchanged for centuries. Hidden behind the majestic Himalayan ranges, Mustang is filled with beautiful trekking zones.

At present Mustang is a very popular trekking region in Nepal. The Home Ministry of Nepal announced the opening of the restricted areas in October 1991. There is also strict control in obtaining a special permit from the Department of Immigration to protect their tradition from outside influence as well as to protect their environment. The high desert region of the Tibetan influence, Kaligandaki, from the Tibetan border south to Kagbeni is generally referred to as “Upper Mustang" that has its own nominal king. The Mustang is one of the very few places on earth which is not spoilt by trekkers. Being under the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the area receives scanty rainfall making the region dry and arid-very similar to the adjoining Tibetan plateau. The trek to Lo-Manthang is through an almost tree-less barren landscape, a steep rocky trail up and down hill and panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and several other peaks make your trek memorable.

Upper Mustang consists of two distinct regions: the south region with five villages inhabited by people related to the Managis; and the northern region (the ancient kingdom of Lo), where the language, culture and traditions are almost purely Tibetan, the capital of Lo is named manthang, which translates from the Tibetan as ‘plain of aspiration’ many texts refer to the capital as Lo Manthang, but this is not strictly correct, Other texts spell the name of the kingdom as Lho, but this is a transliteration of the Tibetan word for ‘south’ and is also incorrect. Thus the portion of the upper Mustang district north of Samar is Lo and its capital is Mustang the king of Lo is the Lo Gyelbu, though I use the Nepali term raja here. To avoid total confusion with existing Maps and texts, I also refer to the capital of Lo as ‘Lo Manthang’.

Yoga: Exercise for Mental and Physical Relief
Yoga is an exercise which gives both physical as well as mental relief. Yoga is a way to realize your identity and spirit. Yoga has been proved to be helpful for our body by science and technology. Here is an attempt to create awareness of proper practicing of yoga. Doubts like who can do yoga? When to do yoga? What are the precautions to be taken while doing yoga?
Right place for Yoga
Yoga is an exercise which gives the necessary stress and strains to the body muscles and improves the blood circulation. The proper location for yoga is necessary to get the essence of its effect. Generally a location which gives fresh atmosphere, silence and cleanliness can be considered as ideal. This will help to concentrate and achieve the desired result. Avoid practice of yoga in direct sunlight and after sun-bathing. Although ancient times with no pollution it was ideal place to practice in open environment but such places are rare to get or far away from our residential areas.
When to do yoga?
There is no that that it is fruitful to do it in the early morning quite before breakfast. This will to build the energy required for performing the activities throughout the day. Also it generates hunger for the morning breakfast. So get up in the morning do visit bathroom and perform the morning activities, have your bath and with fresh mind do yoga. Another time for yoga is early evening just before sunset. Well with change in lifestyle most of you must hardly find the time suitable for yoga. Its not hard and fast rule to do at these times only whatever time you find free during the day go for it. Its better to practice rather leaving it altogether with the above mentioned excuse.
Remember that you should not perform it within two to three hours after having eaten. Relax your body by performing yoga when you feel stiff, tense, tired or hyped-up. Most of the people get excited and perform difficult positions of yoga it is recommended that you should do with things that you are comfortable at unnecessary body postures can cause problems. Just before going to bed go for prayer and don't practice yoga at this time. Do them in your free time during the day. According to the experts yoga is not restricted to few exercises that is one must not be content with performing few of yoga exercises. There are different exercises (asana) which you must expertise gradually one by one. Whenever possible, mix and match the required elements of practice which will lead to improvement and enhancement in your spiritual growth and awareness.
After performing all the exercises the end asana can be the Pranaynama (breathing exercise). Meditation for few minutes can be done to wash out the tense thoughts running through our mind. Pranaynama is a must for successful meditation. Meditation can be performed at any time of day when you feel relaxed and free. Again avoid meditation also within 2-3 hours of eating, the reason being you feel sleepy and the brain also asks for rest. You can opt for Yoga Nidra to get sleep this can useful for people who suffer from insomnia. Suitable time for it is after meals. Avoid doing it when you feel tired or sleepy.

Focus on your exercises always remembers the motive of whatever asana you are doing. Don't worry about your surrounding factors. Obey the instructions correctly. Try to keep yourself away from any sort of burden. Do whatever you can do it is not necessary that you must imitate your yoga expert. Practice makes man perfect. Don't hurry through your exercises. Take your time and then go for next asana. It may seem silly telling you that always breathe in and out through nose but most of do breathe through mouth. God has given nose for breathing and mouth for eating. There is one exercise that can be helpful in such cases it is called "Jala Neti" (Cleaning of nose related organs). You can also take the advice your doctor.
Care to be taken while doing yoga
1) Anyone can practice yoga there is no restriction on sex or age. Exercises which are suitable for your age group should be done.
2) Your mind should be prepared for the purpose that you are going to do. Practicing yoga under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly condemned.
3) Those with disabilities and severe pains consult your yoga teacher or doctor. It's not that if you smoke you are not eligible to do yoga does not put that compulsion.
4) Yoga is practiced on mats suitable for yoga. That is it should help you to perform yoga poses, meditation and relaxation postures with equal ease while making you feel good.
5) The clothing should be such that it does not be hurdle in your body movements.
Generally light and loose clothes are recommended.
6) All other things like watches, spectacles should be kept aside. Women's are advised to remove their ornaments and jewelry before practicing.
Researchers now say that yoga is good for the cells in the endothelium, the inner lining of the arteries. It has proved to be useful in reducing the blood pressure, weight and pulse rate. With the proper practice of yoga along with meditation helps not only build the spirit but also increases a sense of self-control. With yoga the body becomes more flexible and helps to relax the blood vessels.

Buddha Poem

तराई छ, पहाड छ, हिमाल छ ।
बुद्ध जन्मेको देशमा बुद्धिको अनिकाल छ ।
बुद्धि भाकालाई जताततै जाल छ ।
बुद्धि नभाका फालाफाल छ ।
देशभरी भोकमरी र अनिकाल छ ।
समग्रमा देशको स्थिती बेहाल छ ।

कोहीलाई सत्तामा आहाल छ ।
कोहीलाई सडकमा माल छ ।
कोहीलाई अस्पताल नहेरी काल छ ।
कोहीलाई मालामाल छ ।
राती पानी परेर होला, बाटोमा जताततै ताल छ ।

Interview with Arunima Lamsal

With first appearance in Yestai Rahechha Jindagi as a coactress, Arunima Lamsal has established herself in Nepali film industry over the past eight years. She has acted in over three dozen films so far. Recalling her days as a teen, she says she didn't have any plan to make a career in this field. Daughter to Radha Bhabu Lamsal who is also a renowned name in Nepali film industry, Arunima was entangled in a knot of marriage when her career was blossoming. Is there any familial role for your entry into Nepali film industry? Honestly speaking, I got support from my family only after my entry into the film industry. I never thought of being an actress as a teen. I had a plan to make a career in banking sector. My mom didn't force me to get into the film industry, too. How many films have you acted in so far? Um, around 35 or 40 films. What's the reason behind your appearance in glamorous getup in most films? Obviously, I played a glamorous role in my first film. It might have encouraged producers and directors to offer me such a role in films. And, I have appeared glamorous only in about a dozen films, not in others. It is reported that directors/producers force actresses for physical exposure. What do you say? I have not experienced any pressure from directors/producers for physical exposure yet. But, I'm ready for exposure if the story demands. You got married when your career was on progress. Has it any effect on your career? Not at all. Number of fans has instead multiplied contrary to my expectation. Film industry is subject to different controversial rumours. Doesn't it hamper your conjugal life? Definitely, even an ordinary person is not aloof from rumours as such, let alone actresses. Despite this, we have a good understanding with each other. How often do you have a row with your spouse? To be honest, we do have rows sometimes, but it doesn't last long. Is there any reason behind your frequently appearing in films directed by Naresh Poudel? There is no reason at all. I have frequently appeared in film at others' direction as well. I've acted only in two films under Naresh's direction. People say you're gonna be a director in near future? The very idea hit my mind previously. I've not thought seriously about it for the time being. Is it necessary for actresses to appear sexy? Yea, indeed. What do say on reports of sexual abuse upon actresses in film industry? I've heard but not seen yet. I strongly condemn such an evil act. What's your stand on an attempted case of rape upon one of your female colleagues? It's a personal affair. Reality exists between the two involved. Actresses should be sensible and bold enough to say 'no' to sex proposals. A series of sex video footages of many Nepali actresses have been out. Doesn't it create a bad image of actresses? It's natural that all get involved in sex in any part of the world. But, it's something bad to make sex videotape public, particularly by popular actresses because it gives a wrong message to the audience. Do you think Nepalese society suffers from narrow mindsets about sex? People are gradually becoming open about sex and other sexual behaviours. I heard people ignored some sex videotapes that were out in the market. There'll be a time when all will pay a blind eye to it in future. Which personal habit do you feel like giving up? Well, I want to control my poor nerves. Who do you wish for if the God granted a boon to choose a dream partner? I'm satisfied with my present one. Three secrets that others don't know about you? I'm afraid of darkness. My eyes go tearful at sad moments while shooting. I love doing domestic chores like cooking, cleaning etc. There is an ever increasing trend among artists flying abroad. Do you have any plan as such? Most give a thought to flying abroad for financial reasons. I haven't thought about it till now.

Imagine, John Lenon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

POEMS

Friendship
A friend is someone who always cares
With Whom
Everything you want to share,
a friend is one who makes you smile
even when you are away a mile
A friend is one who is in your heart,
someone from whom
you never want to part,
A friend is someone just like you,
loving and caring so sweet and true,
thanks for being there for me.

In love with you
It takes a tought of you
or just a simple glance
It takes a warm hug.
A kiss or a touch of your hand
to make me feel
what true love can be
& i never felt it could be like this
till i met you
Honey I'm so lucky to be
in love with you

Never Say
Never Say ur happy when ur sad,
Never say ur fine when ur not ok,
Never say u feel good when u feel bad,
And never say ur alone when i am still alive

I'll be here
When you are feeling down
or when you are in a bind
I'll be right beside you
Comfort you will find.
If your need an ear to listen
Or a loving helpful hand
I'll be right here for you,
I truly understand
I'll be here for you

Take my hand
Let us walk the world together
Let everyone see
It's you and me
Withing you lies the sun, the breeze
You are my inner peace
needing you always by my side You are my whole life
Warmed by a fire withing
Your love sets me free
Loving you from the depths of my soul
My heart is now whole

I have already lost
Every Time I looking for something.
Which i want to getand i like most
When i could find nothing
I remember that I have already lost.
