Srinivasan Salem successfully complete 5o times kailash yatras with Samrat Tours & Travels

congratulation

Letter of Appreciation

Kailash Srinivasan Salem India for the past ten years:-

We, at Samrat Tours & Travels Pvt. Ltd. Nepal, have been in association with Mr. Srinivasan for the past ten years. Ten years of this glorious association have shown us in more ways than one, how almost single-handedly, a dedicated associate can raise an organization to exalted levels! Thanking Mr. Srinivasan for his innumerable days of tireless service would be next to impossible. Not only that, we admire his grit and perseverance for he is the only outsider known to us, who has had the divine opportunity to complete 50 Kailash Yatras, though using the word outsider would be most inappropriate here.

Srinivasan Salem

Mr. Srinivasan quality work has largely contributed to the comfort and confidence that the yatris experience during the somewhat arduous journey. He would always see to it that they were well-fed and comfortable despite the limited facilities available in the places of our visit especially in the upper reaches of the mountains. On a journey that involves travel across borders and places of hostile environs, there arise many situations where spot decisions become very important. Taking those well informed, timely decisions are one of Mr. Srinivasan hallmarks which has been instrumental in Samrat becoming a sought-after, dependable, value-guaranteed travel facilitator. In short, we have grown with Mr. Srinivasan. It must indeed be an association ordained by the Lord himself for Mr. Srinivasan is driven not merely by grit and perseverance, but by a passion for experiencing divinity again and again and in the process, help others realize their long cherished dream of visiting the Holy Abode of the Lord!

We express our gratitude and respect for his work from the bottom of our hearts and pray to the Almighty that this association goes from strength to strength and serve more and more devotees in the coming years.

With warm Regards,

A 16-member team of Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) recently explored a new trekking route in Badi Malika area in the far-western region.

Way to Badimalika, Bajura
The team, which was led by Tilak Thapa Magar — joint treasurer of TAAN, started exploration on August 4 and returned to Kathmandu on August 13.
Advance Monitor – a tourism monthly — was the local partner for the exploration.
The exploration trip began with a drive to Jadanga in Bajura and passed through Korda, Bodha Korda, Bhito Charne and Tribeni before reaching Badi Malika temple.
Team leader Magar said TAAN explored Badi Malika area to promote tourism in far-western region which is lagging behind despite having immense tourism potentials. “We chose Badi Malika because the area holds great tourism significance. We can connect this trip with Khaptad and develop a standard package of around two weeks,” he added. He also said TAAN will help to construct necessary infrastructures along the trail. “There is a need to widen the trail in some places. We also need to install signposts and develop camping sites,” Magar said, adding: “Likewise, locals need to be trained to start tea houses and community lodges.

bajura
Talking about attractions in the new route, Magar said Tribeni can be developed as a skiing site as the place is covered with snow in the winter. “From here, we can also build cable cat to the temple premises,” he added.
According to Kishor Khadka, editor of Advance Monitor, Badi Malika is a famous religious shrine in the far-western region. “The temple wears festive look during Janai Poornima and Ganga Dasahara festivals, drawing pilgrims from different parts of the country as well as from neighboring India,” he said, adding that even government agencies perform special pooja at the temple during the Janai Poornima festivals.
Khadka also said one can see grasslands, nomadic shepherds and terrace fields on the way. “Visitors can also enjoy breathtaking views of different mountain peaks like Api and Saipal from the Badi Malika temple premises,” he added
While returning, the trek passes through Dhabalpur Daha and Maurya. Vehicles to Kathmandu are available at Maurya.
TAAN is preparing promotional documentary, map and guidebook  to promote the new route.

18 leopards dead in a year

18 leopards dead in a year

KASKI, AUG 21 – In a recent tally, at least 18 leopards have been found dead in the jungles of Pokhara since the past year. The toll apparently increased since many of the injured and sick leopards could not get timely treatment. According to the District Forest Office in Kaski, the death toll is rising at an alarming rate since the district does not have a veterinary specialising on the treatment of wild animals.

“Most of these leopards were found dead at separate locations in the district,” assistant DFO Madhav Prasad Baral said, “those found injured or in a sick state died for want of treatment.” The DFO said that the 18 leopards were found dead between August 2013 and August 2014. The injured or sickly leopards are often found straying out of forests and entering human settlements in search of easy prey. Few months ago, around half a dozen leopards were found dead in the district within a week. Authorities suspected that they might have died of consuming poison.

According to the existing laws, a person found to have poached wildlife will be sentenced to two years in jail and fined Rs 10,000.

Forest officials in the district admitted that incidents of wild animals being killed by traps or by feeding them carcasses of domestic animals treated with medicines are increasing of late.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded Nepal for shunning the path of violence to settle the internal conflict.The Indian PM openly appreciated Nepal’s peace process during his speech on the occasion of 68th Independence Day of India which is marked on 15th of August. He said the international community can learn peaceful means opted by the people of Nepal.

INDIA-POLITICS-MODI

 

During a special function organized at Lal Killa (Red fort) in New Delhi, the Indian premier said “Buddha Bhumi (land of Buddha) Nepal” mentioned about the political transformation in Nepal from war to Buddha and weapons to scripture. “India should take lesson from Nepal’s success in settling the internal conflict,” said Modi in his speech. “In Nepal, at one time the youth had taken the path of violence. But today the same youth are waiting for the constitution to be made,” he said. Modi said: “I had said that Nepal can inspire youth of the world who have taken the path of violence to come back on the path of peace. If Nepal can have peace, then why can’t India.” After PM Modi’s speech, heads of different diplomatic agencies congratulated the acting Nepali Ambassador to Nepal, Krishna Prasad Dhakal, on ‘the message of successful peace process.’
