Begnas Tal











A small lake outside of Pokhara (a 30 min plane ride from Kathmandu) called Begnas Tal is a quiet place where I met up with Wanda and her culture tour group. They were mostly Canadians, and a lot of fun. We were witness to one of the oldest annual events in a village - cutting of rice. We also found a great place for our yoga practise.




One of the events we were there for was the opening of Ria's Reading room at a local school which Wanda has been instrumental in having this library built in her mother's name. We were showered with flowers, engaging smiles and entertainment of dancing. It was a very proud moment for Wanda and the other supporters.
