Fue una maravilla de semana en Londres y en Oxford aún llovía mucho ⛈️🤣

✍️ "Un mirador de piedra permitía detenerse y contemplar tranquilamente cómo la naturaleza se había vuelto loca en aquel lugar.

El mirador formaba parte de una aldea llamada Kyanjuma, formada únicamente por una casa y un refugio. Estábamos ante algunos de los picos más altos de la Tierra. Todas aquellas formidables masas de volúmenes y formas. Desde allí era evidente darse cuenta que los Himalayas no podían ser conquistados.

¿Qué significaba 'conquistar'?

Era imposible someter a una cordillera, y menos todavía a una bestia como aquella, del mismo modo que, en esencia, no era posible conquistar un río o una flor. Sí se podía, en cambio, destruir un río o una flor en el intento de atraparlos, de someterlos".

Sherpas. La otra historia del Himalaya

Cuatro ediciones de gracias.

En estas épocas en las que tanto -y tan mal, y con razón- se habla del Everest, estamos orgullosos de haber aportado otro punto de vista: el de los habitantes locales, el de los sherpas y otras etnias que tantas veces sufren los excesos de nuestra manera de viajar.

Nosotros creemos que todo puede ser más justo para todos, y más fácil, y sin duda mucho más enriquecedor -en todos los sentidos- para ambas partes.

Inmensas gracias por vuestra confianza y cariño. Ya sabéis que todos hacemos Sherpas. La otra historia del Himalaya 🏔️🤍

Y gracias infinitas a nuestro editor, Eduardo Riestra, de Ediciones del Viento, por creer en nosotros.

Haritalika Teej - Festival of Nepali Women
Haritalika Teej is an auspicious occasion that holds a great significance to the married Hindu women of Nepal and is a festival that strengthens the bonding among married couples.
The three-day festival is observed with great devotion and enjoyment as women in red dance and sing to folk songs, join feasts, and keep rigid fasts. During the festival, women offer prayers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati for the longevity and well-being of their spouse and children as well as for the purification self.
Nepali women are seen in vibrant colors of clothes, bangles, threads, and garlands, visting Shiva temples. The festival falls in the month of August- Shrawan/Bhadra. It is a festival of color, love, devotion and sisterhood.

Today is Kushe Aunsi or Father's Day in Nepal. The date is set as per lunar calendar and usually falls on the new moon day in the first week of Bhadra or mid August. As per tradition, the day is celebrated by visiting one's father with gifts and sweets as father and children spend quality time together.

The day is specially relevant in terms of today's busy world where grown up and married children get little time to spend with their aging parents and is a happy reminder of a pause in normal activities to value and honor a special relationship.
