RAINY SEASON IN NEPAL

We don't have the same season all the year round. Seasons change, as do all other things in the world. Change is the law of the nature. In our country, we have four seasons: the summer, the autumn, the winter and the spring.
The rainy season comes after summer. The rainy season is a short season. It brings relief from hot summers days. This season begins towards the middle of June and lasts till September. The rainy season brings rain and cools the parched earth. Birds and animals welcome the rainy season. With the advent of this season, we see green vegetation all around. The nature assumes a beautiful appearance. When the rainy season starts, the sky is overcast with clouds. Sometimes the sun is not seen for days together. Occasionally there are lighting flashes. There are frequent rains. the roads are full of water, and sometimes it is difficult to go from one place to another. In Terai we get floods; in the hilly regions, there are landslides.
The rainy season is of special importance to our country because the main occupation of our people is agriculture, water is necessary; water for agriculture is provided by the rainy season. Thus in the towns the rains often make life miserable. but still we welcome the rain for without rain this world would be an arid desert.

PROBLEMS IN RURAL NEPAL

Nepal is a beautiful country with cultural as well as physical diversities. however, its development has been handicapped to great extent by the lack of able manpower and finance. More than 90% of the inhabited area in Nepal is rural. A different darkish world left behind with its own problems.
The major problems in this part of the world seem to be high child mortality rate, people being fatalistic and above all, lack of education. Over population results in sharing of food, natural resources , jobs etc. Because of this, the people of the rural area are unable to support their families and are poor and poverty stricken. Nepal is a mountainous country and the villages are difficult to access because of the lack of the transportation facility across the rugged terrain. Transportation is both necessary for the trade and commerce and hence the internal trades of those places have not flourished. Because of the lack of power supply, the destruction of the forests in these areas is important. Its high time the people and the government started working hand in hand for all the overall development of our country.

NO FISH, GHARIYAL AT RISK

A sharp decline in fish population at rivers has put the survival of the ghariyal crocodiles at risk. many crocodiles were freed in several rivers in different development of crocodile could not take place owing to lack of the nutritious fishes. Fishes is the main foods for crocodiles. But the number of fishes at the surrounding rivers, lakes and ponds has gone down owing to the increasing water pollution, it has directly affected the crocodiles freed at different rivers. The reasons for the decrease in the number of ghariyals at the rivers and ponds of the national park are the use of poison by fishermen to catches from these places which led to the increase in water pollution and decrease the
fishes. A total of 700 crocodiles were freed at several rivers of the nation after establishment of the center but hardly 100 crocodiles are found at the rivers. To preserve these crocodiles and to save the  environment , the rivers and ponds should be made pollution free.

ILAM AND TOURISM

Ilam is naturally a tourist site. It covers 1,703  square kilometers of land with an altitude beginning from 140meters to 3,636 meters from the sea level. The variation of altitude makes Ilam rich in biodiversity. Four perennial rivers that originate on the south face of the Mahabharata range and reverently suffixed as mother flow down southwards along the gentle sloppy green hills and fertile valleys. The humpy hillocks covered with lush tea bushes additionally beautify the nature. It is natural that the onlookers get themselves enthralled. That is why people talk of Ilam.
It seems Ilam exists for tourism itself. Naturally abundant and culturally profuse, Ilam is the buffer zone between the Terai and the Himal. A paradise of flora and fauna, Ilam could be called a repository of biodiversity. It has been a destination for those who like to be close to nature. A home of many ethnicity, Ilam is a place of mixed culture.

BUDDHISM IN NEPAL

Lumbini , the birthplace of the founder of Buddhims is indeed the holiest place of pilgrimage for Buddhists all over the world. People from all over the world flock to this place either for pilgrimage or for a  simple visit. Lumbini is situated towards the west of Nepal and is close to the Indian border. In order to go to Lumbini, one can either fly to Bhairahawa or take an overnight bus. The flight lasts for about half an hour from Kathmandu.
What has increased the importance of Lumbini is the declaration by the UNO as a world heritage site. The Nepalese government has also formed a trust known as the Lumbini Development Trust. The trust has some prominent Buddhist members and has been represented adequately.
Buddhism has been started by Lord Buddha, born as Prince Siddharha, who, when a small boy, wanted to see the world by himself and when he did, he was depressed and decided to renounce the world and left his palace and his family in search of truth.
