G*i means cow and Jatra means Procession (Festival).

G*i Jatra festival, the procession of cows, generally falls in the month of Bhadra, which correspond to English calendar months of August/September.
This year G*i Jatra is on August 11, 2014. That is on Shrawan 26, 2071 BS.

The festival of cows is one of the most popular festivals in Nepal. It is said people in ancient time started worshiping Yamaraj,"the god of death" on this day.

However, the modern form of celebration of G*i Jatra came into existence in the medieval period of Nepal during the reign of Malla Kings. The present form of G*i Jatra with humorous acts, parody, comedy and was started by then King of Kathmandu Pratap Malla. He made Rani Pokhari (Pond) in the heart of Kathmandu and build a temple in the middle of the same pond.
Traditionally every family who had death in the family during the preceding year must participate in a procession through the streets of Kathmandu leading a cow.

If a cow is unavailable then a young kids dressed as cow is considered a fair substitute. However, there started tradition of leading a cow with kids in funny costumes.

A French man with multiple sclerosis skydived over Mount Everest Sunday, marking a milestone as the first disabled person to do so.

Marc Kopp, 55, successfully landed the 32,800-foot, tandem dive with his friend, champion skydiver Mario Gervasi, and was taken to a Kathmandu hospital by helicopter afterward as a safety precaution, Agence France-Presse reports.

“I hope my action will inspire others living with this illness. I hope many more will follow in my footsteps,” Kopp said.

The record jump required Kopp to travel by horse for several hours to reach the airstrip for the helicopter, forcing the MS-stricken diver to ditch his wheelchair. Kopp said the preparation was very “painful,” but he’s happy after the successful jump.
