Itinerary description

Show original
Again a good road rolling stage. As we approach the border with India, it is much more close to its proximity, both to the faces of people and to culture. Butwal is already breathing a very "Indian" atmosphere, with a lot of movement through the streets, rickshaws up and down and a colorful peculiar folklore.
When arriving at Lumbini, where Buddha was born, they appear shaved heads everywhere, because this population is a very important place of Buddhist pilgrimage.

NOTE: For 3 days the gps tracks disappeared, so the 7.8 and 9 stages I had to recover by taking internet tracks and modifying them, so that it can vary slightly from reality, especially the difference in level accumulated, which marks much more than it really was.

Tansen

Tansen is a small city (or big town) with a rich history and an important stronghold of the Newar culture, as reflected in the large number of traditional houses, made of brick and with details of wood very worked on the windows and balconies. There are a few lodgings, some newar temples and many small traditional shops spread across steep and narrow streets.

    Etapa llarga però de bon rodar fins arribar a Lumbini, a tocar de la frontera índia. Lumbini és un d'aquells indrets amb una màgia especial...

    Tansen també és un lloc molt especial, on s'hi respira el pes de la història newar. Salut!
