Stories Inside Himalayas is an approach to make people aware that Nepal is not only about the Himalayas or temples. Its beauty & simplicity is beyond that. It’s about the life time experience that we cater to our visitors. For our first episode, we have Mr. Anil Chitrakar to give us more insights on the historical reasons behind the celebration of Indra Jatra. The eight-day long Indra Jatra festival falls in September and is one of the most exciting and revered festivals of the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley. This also marks the beginning of a month-long festival season of autumn. It begins with the erection of a wooden pole made of pine at Basantapur Sqaure in front of the old Hanuman Dhoka.
