Nepal Diary: Gorakhpur Trip 4

After my Gorakhpur Trip someone asked me “how was Gorakhpur”? I replied saying “Just imagine crowds and congestion of Ason in Kathmandu, and add high volume of vehicular movement to it”. That’s exactly how it was.

After returning to Nepal after four years interval, I was surprised with Kathmandu’s traffic. But after returning from Gorakhpur, Kathmandu’s traffic was no more terrifying. However, I did get a sense that the development pattern of Kathmandu is following the trails of Gorakhpur: ever expending with limited infrastructure.

Every store there seemed to get its electricity from its own generator. The regular supply of electricity didn’t meet the demand. The use of those vintage generators made awful amount of noise.

It was just a day trip, and I spent most of it in shopping. I rue myself for not talking more pictures then, because it would have been easier for me to remember the interesting events. I would like to conclude my Gorakhpur Trip Diary with few pictures from the city.
