यो महिनाको ८ दिन ठमेलको विक्रमशील महाविहार विशेष उत्सवमय भयो । ५ महाविहारका धर्मगुरु जम्मा भए । स्वर्ण अक्षरको प्रज्ञापारमिता पाठ गरे । अनि भगवान्लाई ८४ व्यञ्जन खानेकुरा खुवाए ।

Popular SUNA SAILI Nepali Song – Hemanta Rana performing at Nepal Idol vs. Ram Limbu singing at Voice of Nepal

Nirmal Purja snapped the photograph of an overcrowded Mount Everest summit while on a quest to climb the 14 tallest mountains in the world in record time.
The photograph of a traffic jam of climbers leading to the summit of Mount Everest in May went viral, evidence of the mountain’s surging appeal among thrill-seekers and the overcrowding that has caused deaths and pollution.
The photographer — Nirmal Purja, known as Nims — is a Nepali mountaineer who has been on a journey to climb the world’s tallest peaks in rapid succession, showcasing local climbers as central actors in the history of Himalayan feats.
He and his all-star Sherpa team call the mission Project Possible, with a goal of summiting all 14 of the world’s peaks higher than 8,000 meters (a little more than 26,000 feet) in seven months.
