Roaming in Nepal

Radish pile: while roaming around Kathmandu, I saw this pile of radish with two young boys waiting for the buyers. The vegetables in Kathmandu mainly comes from the near by areas of the city. However, most of the radish comes from Kakani, a place on the way to Trishuli from Kathmandu.  
Black and white spotted butterfly: While  roaming around Churia, upper Terai region near Bhairahawa, I could take very close up snap of this butterfly with my mobile camera. Nepal is known for more than 7 hundred species of butterfly. The presence of  such species also indicate natural environment or less pollution in the region.
The mustard field: While roaming around Chitwan, I could snap a large area of yellow mustard flowered fields. Chitwan was once the fertile ground for mustard cultivation but later due to wild variety of mustard, the production decreased.
 Steep slope and rocky terrain: This steep and rocky terrain was seen while roaming near Butwal area. Geologist claim that the rock formation is ongoing process in Nepal and due to the same the hills and mountains are in fragile condition. See the traffic sign indicating sliding of stones or rocks.
 Meandering of river: There are more than six thousands of rivers in Nepal. This picture is of Rapti river in Chitwan National Park. No need to explain further for this scene.
