The very first time I visited Nepal and saw a thanka, I thought they
were computer generated images. I didn’t pay them much attention.
So uniform and exact, the lines were perfectly straight and the
curves so consistent.
There is not a better time than now to come to Nepal!
The earthquakes in April and May 2015 led to over 8,000 deaths and many
more casualties. As well as destroying thousands of homes across many
of the hill districts north and east of Kathmandu, many of Nepal’s historic
buildings were also damaged. Let us all pray for the departed souls.
However, on the other side of the tunnel, with the reliance and fortitude that
the Nepalese people are so famous for, the trekking routes were most if not
all made safe and functional by the opening of the autumn trekking season
in 2015, and work has ensured that most of the historic buildings damaged
by the quakes have already been repaired.
