I attended Nepal's shaman festival at Gosaikunda - a lake considered holy by Hindus and Buddhists - on the full moon night of Janai Purnima.
In search of Nepal's shamans, I trekked to Gosaikunda lake on the occasion of Janai Purnima when a shaman festival takes place.
I attended Nepal's rice planting festival Ropain (रोपाईं) in Begnas during the pandemic where I experienced warm hospitality of the farmers.
