If you think Nepal is a tiny country famous for mountaineering, you couldn't be more wrong. The capital city, Kathmandu itself, has seven UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites within a radius of 15 km. It has been nicknamed as the living cultural museum of the world. Moreover, Nepal has four recognised World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, making it the country with the densest concentration of heritage sites.

Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, is a fascinating city with a rich history and culture. The city was founded in the 2nd century CE. The city was originally called 'Kantipur', meaning "City of Glory", and later it was renamed. Kathmandu is located at an elevation of 1,400 m (4,600 ft).

Every Temple holds its own fascinating and spiritual stories. Let's start by getting to know "Buddha Stupa", also known as "Boudhanath Stupa".

Boudhanath is a Buddhist religious site, or a stupa, located in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is actually the largest and one of the most sacred Tibetan Buddhist sites outside of the Tibet. It is also one of the biggest stupa, in the world. The stupa contains a diameter of 100 meters and is extended 36 meters more and dominates in the sky. The Stupa comprises alternated squares and circles as well, which is known as a Three-Dimensional Mandala. All the Stupa contain some symbolic significance, namely the Base, Square Harmika, Dome, Spire and Pinnacle. The Boudhanath stupa is structured in nine levels which indicate mythical facts. On the bottom of the stupa, it is whole encircled by 16-sided walls that are irregular in shape and space. This stupa is entirely associated with Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, which is available in 108 types of forms and is fully depicted in the stupa's base.

THE MODERN AU ASK IS SO FUNNY I'M SORRY PLEASE DO THE ARAFINWEANS IF YOU HAVEN'T YET

sjsksjsk here you go (also for @general-illyrin, @voidartisan, @gardensofthemoon and @sparrowsarus who all asked for some flavour of arafinwean)

Finarfin: probably owns a small business that he inherited from finwë after both fingolfin and fëanor ditched [town] and moved to Zagreb (Lalwen left to study abroad and stayed there and Findis is a university professor in Zadar). The business is extremely stressful and honestly finarfin considers selling it more than once. He owns a nice house though and has an alright income. His favourite place to visit is a zoo in Osijek. His café of choice is Twister and his usual order is a salted caramel cappuccino.

Eärwen was born in Dalmatia, her family owns a small chain of apartments near Zadar (she met Finarfin when he went to study there). She leaves each summer to help them around with work, the rest of the year works as accountant for Finarfin's business. Is very friendly and knows a lot of people around the town, always has the most fresh gossip. Is an often guest in local fish shop. Mostly shops in Hungary because it's "cheaper there". Is actively involved in local politics.

Finrod: studies art restauration in Dubrovnik but visits for each holiday. Has a dog that lives with his parents that he loves a lot. Sometimes it can feel like he has aquintaces in every croatian city and beyond.

Orodreth: married early, got divorced early, is left with little Finduilas to care for. Works in PBZ bank as an accountant. Most of his free time spends with Finduilas.

Angrod: studies programming, is out of the town most of the time. Plans to earn enough to buy a house near [town] before he and Eldalote get married.

Aegnor: fell in love with Andreth (a worker from Nepal) on season job on the shore, had to break up with her after season ended and she had to return home, did not take it well. Love loses, I guess.

Galadriel: last year of high school, wants to be Out of Town. plans to study math in Zagreb.

The Ultimate Guide to Shoulder Season Travel: Best Places to Visit by Month

Traveling during the shoulder season is a savvy way to explore the world. These periods, nestled between the peak and off-peak times, offer travelers the best of both worlds: favorable weather, thinner crowds, and often, a gentler hit to the wallet. Each month unveils unique destinations where the conditions are just right for adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation. Here's a comprehensive month-by-month guide to planning your travels in the shoulder season, ensuring you get the most out of every trip.

Embark on a Journey Through Seasons and Continents

January: A Southern African Adventure

Kick off the year with the warmth of Southern Africa. South Africa basks in its summer glory, making it perfect for beach lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Botswana's green season paints the landscapes with life, offering spectacular safari experiences, while Namibia's milder desert climate allows for comfortable exploration of its otherworldly terrains.

February: Southeast Asian Wonders

February is the time to wander through Southeast Asia. From the cool but pleasant north of Vietnam to the dry and sunny south, the weather is inviting. Cambodia and Thailand offer clear skies for temple touring and island hopping, while Singapore shines with urban explorations minus the peak holiday throngs.

March: Blossoms and Autumn Hues

Witness Japan's iconic cherry blossoms or trek Nepal's clear paths. South Korea greets spring with vibrant celebrations. Down under, New Zealand and Australia showcase the beauty of autumn, providing a cooler yet still sunny escape.

April: From Islands to Ancient Lands

April's gentle weather is perfect in the Philippines for beach enthusiasts, in Peru for the Andes explorers, across Europe for early spring charm, in Egypt for historical sojourns without the scorching heat, and in Australia for those seeking milder autumn adventures.

May: Pre-Summer Escapes

Indonesia enters its dry season, Hawaii offers near-perfect climate conditions, Nicaragua starts warming up, the Mediterranean beckons with pre-summer warmth, and Iceland extends its daylight for endless exploration.

June: Cultural Riches and Natural Splendors

Experience Turkey and Georgia in their warm embrace, perfect for delving into history and nature. Costa Rica and El Salvador showcase their lush landscapes and biodiversity in the green season.

July: Monsoon Magic

India, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives offer a different perspective with the monsoon season—lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and unique travel deals.

August: Central Asian Charm

Explore the heart of the Silk Road in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, where comfortable summer weather makes for an ideal exploration of ancient cities and stunning vistas.

September: Fall's Early Glories

The Dolomites, Mexico, Canada, Norway, and the Mediterranean are spectacular in September, with mild weather perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the early signs of autumn.

October: A Kaleidoscope of Experiences

From the autumnal charm of Western Europe to the diverse climates of Brazil and the United States, and the beginning of the dry season in Colombia, Thailand, and Laos, October offers a palette of travel experiences.

November: Adventures and Explorations

As the year winds down, Morocco and Egypt cool down but remain sunny, Nicaragua and Patagonia burst with life, and Jordan and Oman invite desert explorations.

December: Winter Wonders and Tropical Retreats

Eastern Europe dazzles with festive spirit and snowy landscapes, while Kenya and Tanzania are prime for safaris. Panama and Guatemala offer a warm escape from the winter chill.

Wrapping Up the Year with Unforgettable Journeys

Traveling during the shoulder season allows for a deeper connection with the destinations, free from the constraints of peak tourist periods. Each month offers a gateway to diverse cultures, climates, and experiences. By choosing your destinations wisely based on the time of year, you can enjoy all the benefits of off-peak travel without compromising on the experience. From the cherry blossoms of Japan to the ancient wonders of Egypt, and from the green landscapes of Central America to the festive markets of Eastern Europe, there's a world waiting to be explored, with each month revealing its own unique charm. So pack your bags, and let's set off on a year-long adventure that promises the beauty of the world in the shoulder season.
