One who goes through the travel advisory issued by US government, hardly makes up mind to visit Nepal thinking harsher tone it contains. Tourists make idea about Nepal as ruined country where you can be stranded anytime anywhere, law and order are the words taken out from dictionary etc, etc. A US couple whom I met a month back in an Annapurna Trek, told me this country has lot ot offer, and the travel advisory is simply a bull shit! They opined that in a political ground their country is issuing travel advisory, which has marred tourism industry for last few years. Thanks to the April revolution of last year, and the consequences which came further simultaneously, people are breathing an air of relief. This change magnamus is still to convince US policy makers that the country is secured for tourists. It is point to be noted that even during insurgency period, when US tourists were said to be targeted by the revolutionists, not a single US citizen was harmed. This fact speaks volume to all, and infact my writing is just a waste of time in convincing the same.
Monday's firing episode was not a new in US context. The country like us, which has been facing stringent travel advisory, on which the events are described which have taaken place couple of years back and the potential tourists are cautioned of visiting, plead such unhuman act be stopped forever. Poles apart before issuing any travel advisory US government should also pay a glance on geometric repercussion we Nepali wud be left to survive with.
We dont claim Nepal to be the safest place in the world, but point to be noted is what alley and corner of the world is safe? So let us get across this unhhuman act and behaviour. Let us correct attitude and let us be judged on the grounds of reality rather than polical stand.
May the country of the wisets' have a wise..
