Текст Beautiful Nepal! с переводом.

Beautiful Nepal!
Красивый Непал!

Sun 5th April – Kathmandu Воскресенье 5-е апреля – Катманду
We arrived safely in a very foggy Kathmandu after our short but delayed flight from India. We caught a local bus to the hotel, passing street vendors, beggars, shoeshine boys and even a barber with his chair and cracked mirror out on the pavement! This morning we escaped the dust, noise and pollution of the city to visit the incredible Monkey Temple up in the hills. There really were hundreds of monkeys there —- they were running around everywhere. There were lots of steps to climb but it was worth it — the view of the snowy peaks of the Himalayas in the distance was absolutely breathtaking! Мы благополучно добрались из Индии до очень туманного Катманду после короткой задержки рейса. Мы сели в местный автобус, чтобы доехать до гостиницы, проезжая уличных продавцов, попрошаек, чистильщиков обуви и даже парикмахер с креслом и треснутым зеркалом на тротуаре! Этим утром мы сбежали от пыли, шума и загрязнения города в невероятный Обезьяний Храм на холмах. Действительно, там были сотни обезьян – они бегали повсюду. Надо было подняться по большому количеству ступенек, но оно того стоило – вид снежных вершин Гималаев в дали захватывал дух!
Tues 7th April – The Himalayas Вторник 7 апреля – Гималаи
We woke up yesterday morning feeling so excited! Finally the day we would begin our 2-day trekking excursion to the Himalayas had arrived! We took a small plane journey from Kathmandu and then trekked for hours up and down the rocky mountain trail. It was hot in the bright mountain sun but quite cold wherever there was some shade. You can’t imagine how spectacular the scenery was! We finally reached a village called Phakding where we put up our tent and camped outside a teahouse. We tried some local dishes, which were delicious, and then got into our sleeping bags. It got cold very quickly once the sun had gone down! I awoke the next morning to the most amazing sunrise I had ever seen! I took a walk down to the river where I ran into two young boys playing. They were really friendly. Nepalese villages are very poor, but everyone we met in the mountains seemed happy. Вчера утром мы проснулись, чувствуя себя в приподнятом настроении! Наконец, день, когда мы начнем нашу 2-х дневную пешую экскурсию в Гималаи, наступил! Мы совершили небольшую поездку на самолете из Катманду и потом пешком ходили то вверх, то вниз по скалистой горной тропе. Под ярким горным солнцем было жарко, но в тени было весьма прохладно. Вы можете представить, насколько восхитительным был пейзаж! Наконец, мы достигли деревни под названием Факдинг, где мы установили нашу палатку и жили там снаружи чайханы. Мы попробовали некоторые местные блюда, которые были вкусны, и потом залезли в спальные мешки. Как только зашло солнце, то стало очень холодно! На следующее утро я проснулся, чтобы встретить самый удивительный восход, который я кода-либо видел! Я прошелся вниз к реке, где столкнулся с двумя играющими мальчиками. Они были по-истине дружелюбны. Непальские деревни очень бедны, но каждый, которого мы встречали в горах, казался очень счастливым.
Thurs 9th April – Bhaktapur Четверг 9 апреля – Бхактапур
Returning from the mountains, Kathmandu seemed even busier than when we left! We took a taxi to the ancient town of Bhaktapur today as we had heard that its annual festival Bisket Jatra was taking place. When we got there, we hired a guide, who took us to see the noisy tug-of-war contest that kicks off the festival every year. Apparently, the festival is based on a fairy tale and continues for days. It includes a wild parade, a candlelit procession and two more tugs-of-war! Later in the day, we went on a guided tour of Bhaktapur’s magnificent temples, then we went shopping for souvenirs. The city is full of craftsmen selling paintings and handicrafts. I bought some beautiful pottery and Jake found a fantastic pair of hand-made drums! Возвращаясь с гор, Катманду казался даже более оживленным, чем тогда, когда мы уезжали! Мы сели в такси, чтобы добраться к древнему городу Бхактапур, поскольку мы слышали, что там проходит ежегодный фестиваль Бискет Джатра (Bisket Jatra). Когда мы прибыли туда, то наняли гида, который отвел нас посмотреть на соревнования по перетягиванию каната, которые каждый год открывают фестиваль. По всей видимости, этот фестиваль основан на какой-то сказке и продолжается в течение нескольких дней. Он включает дикий парад – процессия с зажженными свечами, и еще два перетягивания каната! Немного позже в тот день мы отправились с гидом на экскурсию в великолепные храмы Бхактапура, и потом мы пошли покупать сувениры. Город полон умельцев, продающих картины и изделия ручной работы. Я купил несколько красивых изделий из глины, а Джейк обнаружил фантастическую пару барабанов ручной работы!
Sat 11th April – Home Sweet Home! Суббота 11 апреля – В гостях хорошо, но дома лучше!
Jake and I finally put on our backpacks for the last time and flew home today after 5 weeks, 4 countries, 2 nasty viruses and countless temples, mountains, beaches and cheap campsites and hotels! I’ll never forget the amazing experiences I’ve had backpacking through Asia, but right now I’m looking forward to some home comforts and a good night’s sleep… Мы с Джейком, наконец, сегодня в последний раз надели наши рюкзаки и отправились домой после 5 недель, 4 стран, 2 ужасных вирусов и бесчисленных храмов, гор, пляжей и дешевых стоянок и гостиниц! Я никогда не забуду удивительные переживания, которые я получил, совершая туристическую поездку по Азии, но прямо сейчас я с нетерпением жду домашнего комфорта и хорошего ночного сна…

Essay on Tourism in Nepal.

             Our country Nepal is rich in natural beauties gifts, resources and wonders. There are many places and things of cultural, historical and religious importance. Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world, lies in Nepal. We are proud of it. The snowcapped mountain peaks, beautiful water resources, the green forests of hypnotic beauty, flora and fauna, etc. tempt many tourists every year.

            Nepal is known as a suitable place to promote tourism. The nature has given us many things which are liked by tourists. Some tourists come here to enjoy the natural beauties and wonders. Some of them visit our country for trekking and climbing mountains. Some want to learn something about our history, culture, religion and so on. We can see that some tourists come here to enjoy their holidays.

            Tourism plays a significant role in Nepal. We can get many advantages from it. Firstly, we can earn foreign currency which can be use for our development. Many people have got employed in the offices belonging to tourism. Thus, it helps to lessen the problems of unemployment. Tourists buy our goods, curios and native articles of our country. By the result, our cottage industries can get benefited. Tourism helps our hotel industry. They want to live in good hotels. Many expensive and good hotels have been providing services to them. Similarly, many tourist guides and porters are employed in it.

          We can learn their languages, cultures and traditions from the tourists. They also learn many things from us. The fame and glory of our nation get widened because they can be their achievements to their friends and relatives. Our country Nepal will be known to the rest part of the world. When they observe our good cultures, traditions and things, they expose them to their country.

          There are a few disadvantages of tourism. Some of the communicable diseases can be spread by tourists; it is the worst effect of it. Because of tourism, some of the beauty spots are getting polluted. We can see many bottles, plastic bags and others even at the highest peak, Mt. Everest. Some of the tourists can be criminal. They can commit crimes here.

           There are some problems in the field of tourism in Nepal. The major problems are transportation and security. Most of the beauty spots are situated in remote areas. We have not built roads to go to all these places yet. We have to depend on only air services. Similarly, the problem of security has reduced the number of the tourists. There are not standard hotels in the remote areas. We have to provide all eh facilities to the tourists to promote tourism in Nepal.

           We have to try to promote tourism in Nepal. All the sectors concerned are expected to give high priority to promote it. The government should provide transportation facilities and security to the tourists. Then, more and more tourists will be tempted to visit our motherland.

Nepal (Nepali: नेपाल) is a country in South Asia between India and China. Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, and the Himalaya Mountains are in Nepal.[16] 12 of the world’s highest mountain peaks are in Nepal.[17] It is also the birthplace of Buddha.[18] It has recently become a secular country, but before it was the only Hindu kingdom in the world. Nepal is a very important pilgrimage place for both Hindus and Buddhists. The population of Nepal in 2007 was almost 29 million people.[19][20]
Nepali is the official language of the country, but there are many other regional languages in Nepal. Many people in Nepal understand English and Hindi as well. The capital city of Nepal is Kathmandu, which has a population of over 1.4 million people. The second-largest city is Pokhara. Pokhara is a major tourist attraction of Nepal which is rich in natural beauty. Pokhara includes many lakes, Phewa Tal is one of them.

Geography[change | change source]

‘Chörtens galore in Tangye, Mustang

Nepal is a landlocked country, which means it is not next to any ocean, and it is surrounded by India and China. Eight of the ten tallest mountain peaks in the world, including Mount Everest, are in Nepal.[17] Mount Everest is on the border Nepal shares with China. Nepal is a little smaller than Illinois and Bangladesh, but a little bigger than Kyrgyzstan. It also has the second-highest average elevation in the world at (10,715 ft),[21] only behind Bhutan.

Economy[change | change source]

Nepal used to be an agricultural country until 1950. Since 1951 it entered the modern era and has made progress. Agriculture, however, is still a major economic activity. 80% of the people do agricultural works and it provides 37% of GDP. Only about 20% of the total area is cultivable while another 33% is covered by forest. Most of the remaining land is covered by mountains. Rice and wheat are the main food crops. The lowland Terai region produces a high amount of agricultural products. A part of those products is supplied to the hill areas, which produces less.

China is the 2nd largest exporter to Nepal, but its imports from Nepal are zero. This burdens Nepal’s monetary stability and monetary balance. India is the largest buyer of Nepal’s goods.The yearly monsoon rain, or lack of it, strongly influences economic growth. From 1996 to 1999, real GDP growth averaged less than 4%. The growth rate recovered in 1999, rising to 6% before slipping slightly in 2001 to 5.5%. Nepal has 1/3 of its trade with India.

Demographics[change | change source]

Tibeto-Burman women of Tamang caste in rural outfit

The people of Nepal belong to two main groups; Indo-Aryan group and Tibeto-Burman group. Indo-Aryans are mostly Hindus and they celebrate Hindu festivals like Dashain, Tihar, Teej, Maghe Sankranti, Krishna Janmastami, Holi, Janai Purnima, Matatirtha Aunsi, Chhath, etc. Tibeto-Burmans are Buddhist and they celebrate Lhosar, Buddha Jayanti, etc.[22]

Education[change | change source]

Modern education in Nepal started with the opening of the first school in 1853. This school was only for the members of the ruling families and their courtiers. Schooling for the general people began only after 1951. It was when a popular movement ended the autocratic Rana family regime and started a democratic system. In the past 50 years, there has been a big expansion of education facilities in the country. As a result, adult literacy (age 15+) of the country was reported to be 48.2% (female: 34.6%, male: 62.2%) in the Population Census, 2001, up from about 5% in 1952–54. In the beginning in 1951, there were about 300 schools and two colleges with around 10,000 students. Now, there are more than 26,000 schools (including higher secondary), 415 colleges, five universities, and two academies of higher studies. In total, 5.5 million students are studying in those schools and colleges who are taught by more than 150,000 teachers.
Despite such examples of success, there are problems and challenges. Education management, quality, usefulness, and access are some of the major issues of education in Nepal. Social differences based on gender, ethnicity, location, economic class, etc. are still there in some places. Lack of resources has always been a problem in education. These problems have made the goal of education for all a challenge for the country.
