Experience of Land-slide in Nepal.

Experience of Land-slide in Nepal.

Recently, I had been to two of my Branches, by Car, namely, Pokhara & Butwal, ( places of Nepal ) with my family. I am putting one of the memories.




Here, you can see Mount Annapurna, taken from the Road, while we were returning from Pokhara and proceeding to Butwal, where another Branch office is located.



This Road offers excellent scenic beauty. The image above was taken by my daughter from the cell phone, while I was driving my Car. But, destiny had something else for us. As we were about to reach Butwal, we were caught unawares by a huge landslide which blocked the entire road.




As you can see, the whole wet Mountain has fallen on the Road, thereby, making it impossible to cross the Road by even, Foot.



This is a clearer picture to analyze the whole scenario. I along with my Wife, Daughter, and Pet Rabbit waited here in our Car for more than 3 hours, so that Cranes may clear the Road, but it did not happen. So, we left our Car there and went downhill and walked by the side of a river and then again climbed uphill to reach Butwal, where one of my Branch Offices is located.


So, that was quite an exiting experience, isn’t it?
