Step into Nepal’s Festival of Laughter & Remembrance – G*i Jatra ✨
Every year in the heart of the Kathmandu Valley, streets come alive with music, masks, laughter, and… cows! 🐄🎭
G*i Jatra—the “Cow Festival” – is a centuries-old celebration where families honor loved ones who have passed away, believing cows guide their souls to the afterlife. But don’t expect a somber mood – this is Nepal at its most vibrant and playful.
💃 What to Expect:
Processions of people in colorful costumes and painted faces
Cows (real and decorated effigies) leading the way through the old city streets
Street performers, satirical plays, and bursts of joyous laughter
A unique blend of grief, gratitude, and celebration
📍 When & Where:
Held in August, mostly in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur, it’s a photographer’s dream and a traveler’s delight.
🌏 Why Join?
It’s not just a festival—it’s a heartfelt journey into Nepalese culture, where humor heals, tradition thrives, and the community comes together in dazzling unity.
