palpali gaule Posted on 10-07-04 6:59 AM Reply | Notify Admin ey sanu, i totally agree with you about dharan. it's a nice bazaar and it's got a great location right at the base of the hills, but it's full of nakalis! the terai is india jasto. the himals are tibet jasto. which means the pahaar is the truest part of nepal. and in that region, palpa is clearly the most wonderful and beautiful district! famous as the old magar kingdom, palpali dhaka (thank you kunti moktan, for your beautiful song), palpali karuwa, one of the few districts in nepal suitable for growing coffee, and the only district in nepal outside of the valley with ancient woodcarved newari windows. excellent climate and an unbeatable view of the himals from srinigar. no place in nepal can compare with all that!!!

I read it as a sweeping statement about "truest part of nepal". I totally agree with palpali gaunle. With due respect Sitara diz, have u read a book by Dr. Harka Gurung, "Social Demography of Nepal". I think u have toi read that one but not latest 2 edition which were published in 2001 and 2003. You have to read which was published post Prajatantra 2nd time around. There u will get what palpali gaunle is trying to say. Its so amazing how a foreigner smell it knowingly or unknowingly but its goes right beneath our nose. U really have to get in hold of that book. That is the book that made Dr. Harka Grg to run for his life from Panchayati system goverment. I used to have it but it was in torn and tattered. I tried to keep it as it is but i can't. Just give a look on that and u will find what palpali gaunle have said. with peace and love lil sis Swaati
