All Nepalese pride Pokhara

Phewa and fishtailPokhara is one of the beautiful place of the earth. It is in the lap of the mountain. It is also known as a town of lake. It is 200 kms far from the capital city (Kathmandu). Pokhara is situated at an altitude of 827 meters from sea level. It is linked by Air and by road from Kathmandu and the Indian border Sunauli. Pokhara can be reached in 6 hours bus ride and just 30 minutes by Airplane from Kathmandu. From pokhara we can see the several mountains such as Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchher(Fishtail), Manaslu, Annapurna and others. Fishtail is just 30 kms far from pokhara and we can see the shadow in the phewa lack.in this way there is beautiful views of hills also they are Sarankot, Kaskikot, Kalikasthan, Bharat Pokhari and the Pumdi Bhumdi Hills.

Pokhara has suitable climate for visit. People can visit every time in the year. At the time of winter the average temperature is 6degree Celsius and at summer 30-32 celsius.

One interesting thingis that in pokhara the seti river goes completely underground in certain places.

Pokhara- the city of Monopoly

This is it finally. Never wanted to write about this. Never wanted to let people outside Pokhara know that this is the city of monopoly after all they all know Pokhara the famous tourist destination in spite of other backside stories. Only those surviving and typical of this small unplanned, unmanaged and pathetic city dwellers could find few drops of choices in many aspects.

This is totally what I mean by- my personal feeling of inside Pokhara.

Syndication, privatization and monopolistic approach of all private sectors. After all, unawared public…

■ISP Monopoly – Ever thought how much a per hour internet of 28kbps costs in Pokhara? No matter which cyber cafe you go, it’s the same Rs 30. They got a cyber cafe owners organization which will determine works like letting other to open cafe or not, how much to charge (during loadshedding and regular hour),— seems like there is no government in Nepal, huh and ….. Just a few FewaNet, WLink, BuddhaNet and Pokhara i-Net, (not talking NTC, Mero mobile and UTL the nameshake wireless net) are local ISPs in Pokhara which have nodal points in Kathmandu to broadcast here. The cost is devastatingly high. General people can’t purchase, even if they purchase they get bandwidth of frustations (yes, absolutely my point and my experience).
■Cable TV Monopoly- Can you believe no two cable operators exist in Pokhara? You can’t open another Cable operation in Pokhara. Even if you, you’ll get merged sooner or later. Hence, the obvious monopoly. You must pay increased lumsum amount to these elephants for just 35 or few more channels (and repeatingly list goes to 65 around).
■Public Vehicle Monopoly- You can’t buy new vehicle and queue it to new route as permitted by local government and police. There are very strong (yes, stronger than another force in this country) force of taxi drivers, bus drivers, helpers and so on. The older the vehicle, the more expensive it becomes. A micro-bus purchased 5 years before for 18 lakhs now costs 37lacks here. What do you say?
■Hotels/Restaurants Monopoly
■Phewa/Begnas Lake Boating Monopoly
■Parking Lot Monopoly
■And … monopoly of monopoly

World Climate

World Climate
Our World climate is continually changing, alhough we can only see these changes in the climate of the world over long periods of time.

It has been said that “climate is what you expect; weather is what you get”. In other words, you can expect snow in Russia in January, but you may or may not get it on a particular day. Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere over a short period of time e.g. from day to day or week to week, while climate describes average conditions over a longer period of time.

Climate can be viewed as the slowly varying aspects of the air- water-land system. This variability can be seen in the long-term daily, monthly, and yearly averages for different weather conditions. Scientists present this data in many ways. They may use climographs, which show information about specific places, or they may create maps, which can show regional and worldwide data.

The effects of climate can be seen in the distribution of Earth’s life-forms. Temperature ranges and the amount of sunlight and precipitation determine what plants can grow in a region. They also affect which animal species can live there. People are more adaptable; even so, climate can be a limiting factor on the size of a population.

Knowing what to expect is important for planning purposes: The climate of a region affects whether a person needs to lay in supplies of heating oil, stock up on mosquito repellent, or do both. Tables with climate data can be useful to individuals and community leaders alike. Knowing the coldest temperature ever recorded at a city on a particular day can help that city plan for its energy needs; knowing how average annual low temperatures have changed since 1850 in a particular state can provide clues to changes in insect migration. And if you know the average wind conditions at a place you might decide to meet your energy needs with wind power.
