As we touched down in Nepal, our initial impression was marred by the country's
apparent neglect. Disappointment shadowed our faces. On the other hand, my sister,
upon landing in Kashmir, was immediately captivated by nature's unparalleled beauty.
Often referred to as the "Paradise on Earth," Kashmir lived up to its reputation. The
grandeur of the Himalayas, adorned in snow, mesmerized her senses. It was a
picturesque landscape that seemed straight out of a dream.
While Nepal also shared the majesty of the snow-clad Himalayas, the view wasn't as
prominent within the city. To truly witness the splendor, we ventured deep into the
mountainous regions. In Kashmir, the beauty was omnipresent. With snow underfoot
and awe in their eyes, my sister's family reveled in the scenery, capturing its essence in
their photographs.
However, the contrast between the two destinations was not limited to scenic beauty
alone. Nepal, grappling with pollution, had an air of discomfort. Conversely, Kashmir
exuded an air of tranquility that our eyes found difficult to leave. Sadly, these stunning
locales have become symbols of conflict, with China eyeing Nepal and Pakistan claiming
Kashmir.
In recent years, Nepal has emerged as a sanctuary for those seeking mental peace and
meditation. Yet, our experience, marred by the actions of a few, was overshadowed by
fear. Our trips, usually meticulously organized personally, were arranged through a
travel agent due to the volatile relationships. The local drivers, representative of their
nations' sentiments, treated us with hostility.
Our encounters with these drivers were far from pleasant. Their actions, fueled by
resentment, made us question how such breathtaking places could harbor such
animosity. While the natural beauty was unparalleled, the human experience tainted our
perception. We returned to our homeland unharmed, but our hearts heavy with the
weight of hatred that should not have existed in such serene places.
As we shared our harrowing experiences, we were left pondering the irony. How can
places so beautiful, so divine, become breeding grounds for animosity? These lands,
once untouched by the world, have now become battlefields for human emotions. In the
midst of their magnificence, we found ourselves questioning the very essence of
humanity – why does paradise house such hatred, when it should resonate with
harmony and peace?
