Exploring Nepal is always full of surprises, sometimes in a good way and sometimes not so good. When we moved into our new home near Lazimpat I could look out the window and see the lovely hilltop where the famous, Kopan monastery sits. I wanted to go explore the area since March, but shortly after we moved in we were in and out of Covid lockdown for 5 months or so.
We just got out of lockdown, so I decided we’d check it out right away. After being turned away at the Kopan monastery we made our way to the other side of the area to a lovely part of the Gokarna Forest. We were quite surprised to find the Peace and Martyrs’ Park and quiet nature trail.
The best part of the day was that we brought our 360 camera so we could share the day with our viewers. This camera features high speed, 5K videos that can be seen in 3D if you have VR goggles. But even if you don’t have the goggles, just turn the prospective of the screen to see the sky, behind the camera or look to the side as we walk. If you don’t see an incredibly clear video you will need to adjust your Youtube settings using the button on the bottom of the video. Bring it up to the highest setting.
Although the park isn’t quite open yet, I think it will be completed within the next year or so. That means you can see it as a work in progress and enjoy its familiarity when you come to Nepal and spend that all-important day on your warm-up trek.
This area, Gokarna Forest, is huge and holds some relaxing resorts and and a trekking route that surrounds the Kathmandu Valley. We are planning to do more exploration in this area so I hope you subscribe to our channel. Beyond the Gokarna Forest, the Kathmandu Valley is surrounded by forest, either rural villages or government conservation areas of undeveloped regions.
What I’d like for you to consider is to take a few days at the beginning of your time in Nepal doing a few practical things to get the most out of your time here. In this video we explored the warm-up trek, but in the upcoming videos I’m going to focus on some ways you can benefit from your trip in some surprising, financial ways.
