Educational Tour to Dhading

Firstly when I heard that we are going to educational tour to Dhading for 2 days i.e 21 and 22 Mangshir I was so excited after hearing that news. All the students started to shout when they get their notice for their educational tour. Out of 47 students 40 students were ready for the tour. We were joined by Bijay sir, Rajan sir, Murari sir and Sarita mam.

Our journey began at 11:00 am where all of us was excited to experience new and unexpected feelings in different place with new environment.It was long ahead we reached camp at 3:15 pm while the way towards Dhading was so excited and most of the students dance, play guitar and sang a song in bus. The food in bus was surprisingly so good and tasty. Although we were tired but after seeing the beautiful scene of Dhading made our tiredness disappear. After reaching camp all the students were surprised by seeing the tent and the camp was managed perfectly. At 3:30 pm we were provided some snacks and after having snacks we went for a small hike. Hike was the best part of my tour. I didn't even feel tired when I was walking. I have so much of fun while walking with friends and clicking photos. We also went through a huge bridge some of my friends were feeling scared to cross the bridge. The view from the bridge was over the top. After returning from hike we went to riverside. There we have a lot of fun by playing with water and running in sand. Some of the girls were taking part in marathon but I didn't take part. Then we return to our camp and we started dancing. Most of the students were dancing and we were joined by Sarita mam, Bijay sir  and Murari sir. At 8:00 pm we have our dinner. After dinner we again started to dance. It was so fun to dance with friends and teachers. At 9:00 pm we burn the fire and we make chicken  BBQ. It was so tasty that I ate so much. After having BBQ Murari sir told us some ghost story. Me and my friends didn't listen to story so went to our tent. We were told to sleep 3 in a tent so I shared tent with
Resha and Ojashwi. At 12:00 pm we were taken to riverside but I didn't went. I stayed with my friends in tent and we have some talk. The night was so hilarious that we didn't even sleep for 2 hour.

 
Next day I woke up at 4:00 am. I went to all of my friends tent and I started calling them. One by one all of my friends wake up. After that we called to boys and some of the boys wake up whereas some were still sleeping in tent. At 7:00 am we burn the fire. We took our breakfast at 8:00 am and after having breakfast we went for a hike. We went to Chepang village. The way was so dangerous that most of my friends felt down while returning from there. We clicked our group photo in village. After returning from there we have our meal and we went to riverside. Many boys were playing beach volleyball and football whereas girls were busy in making their sand castle. we clicked so many photos in riverside.We left camp at 2:00 pm. I want to stay there for some more days. But we have to return. While returning I was so tired that I slept at bus. We reached school at 6:15 pm. After that all went to their home.


This way all of the students of grade 8 have got new and memorable memories with their classmates and teachers. I would love to visit this place again and again. I would like to thank to our teacher for choosing such a beautiful place for our trip.

Gai Jatra

I am so proud to say Gai Jatra is the one festival celebrated only in Nepal. It is not shared by any of our neighbouring country. Only Nepal has the copyright of this festivalwhich is famous for it’s uniqueness as well. Here Gai is the Nepali word for cow. Jatra means carnival of people. In simple words Gai jatra is said to be the day of worshipping cows in which lots of carnivals are shown on the streets by the people according to their culture and tradition. In ancient times it was considered to be the festival only of Newars residing in Kathmandu valley. But now the festival has spread it’s unity and joy all over to Nepal regardless of anyCasts andethnicity.

Literally, the meaning of Gai Jatra is Cow Festival where Gai means Cow and Jatra mean festival. Cow Festival is a jovial Nepalese festival that lasts for eight days. Gai Jatra is 8 days festival in Nepal. It is a typical Nepali festival. There are lots of fun in this festival like dancing, singing, caricature, comedy, play, data, nach, drama, pantomime, anything that causes mirth and laughter are part of the festival’s highlight. On the first day of the Gai Jatra festival, people whose family members have died during that year, parade a decorated cow around the city (especially in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur) together with their young ones dressed as cows or hermits.

Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a festival that falls on the full moon day of Shrawan month according to the Eastern Calander. It is celebrated among Hindus residing all around the world. According to the different geographical locations, it is called by different names as well. In the hilly regions of Nepal, it is celebrated as Janai Purnima. Similarly, in the Terai region and the northern parts of India, it is celebrated as Rakhi.

The meaning behind each of these days is also different to some degree as is evident from the name itself. Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is mainly celebrated by the Brahmins who belong to the higher casts that are Brahmin and Kshtriyas in India and Nepal. But, coming to this day, it is celebrated by everyone who knows the meaning behind it. Discussed below are the ways in which Janai Purnima and Rakhi are celebrated throughout the Hindu community all around the world and how each have their own unique characteristics.

Janaipurnima

Those who celebrate it as Janai Purnima in the hilly regions of Nepal, it is taken as a day when the men from the Brahmin community undertake the annual changing of their holy thread that marks their coming of age ceremony. Early morning, they take a bath, visit nearby temple and from the hands of a Pundit, they change the holy thread or Janai. Besides, it is also the day when pundits tie ‘Raksha Bandhan Doro’ in the hands of the Brahmin and Chhetri community. The doro or the thread is symbolic of the well wishes of the loved ones for safety and happiness.

In this festival thousands of devotees worship lord Shiva at Pashupatinath in Kathmandu and Kumbeswor in Lalitpur and take holy dips in ponds and lakes to eradicate their sins. A very great religious fair takes place at Gosaikunda lake in Rasuwa District. Ganga Dhanus Sagar at Janakpur and Tribenidham mela is also observed in this day.
