Street to Stage are traditional Gandharba musicians. They hail from the villages badly affected by the 2015 earthquake that hit Nepal.

The villages of Gorkha, Lanjung, and Tanahun are about 150 kilometers away from Kathmandu and were at the epicentre of the earthquake. Through their traditional music, they are trying to raise money from the sale of their CDs to help rebuild houses and schools, supply blankets to people still living in tents, and provide educational materials and training.

From 6pm til 10pm, they play at Hotel Manang. Many thanks for the CD! But daytime, they walk the streets of Thamel Kathmandu to play their music. Happy to have bumped into them one morning!

Bhu was playing with her toy elephant that we gave her. She was letting the elephant drink from her water bottle.

We’re very lucky to have such a calm and cheerful cab driver. Thank you very much, Lila Regmi for driving us to the children’s homes! The best driver in Nepal! As we said, if you can drive in Nepal, you can drive ANYWHERE!

After our visit to the homes, a very good friend of Indira’s invited us to have dinner at his home. Thank you very much, Sunil for dinner and for the warm welcome by you and your family!
