robnep Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 GREAT FESTIVAL. EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED AND WAS COLD, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOPPED THE VIBE OF THE PEOPLE, GREAT VIBE, GREAT FEELING, EVERY ONE VERY HELPFUL, INCLUDING THE VILLAGERs. GREAT MUSIC EVEN THOUGH WITH THE LAST MINUTE BIG NAME DJ'S CANCALLECTION, THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS SO AMAZING....."THE MOMENT" WHEN WE CAN EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN??....THE VENUE, THE VIEWS, THE PEOPLE. THE MOST MEMORIABLE MOMENT WAS TOWARDS THE END ON SUNDAY MORNING, WHEN HATTIBABA WAS PLAYING. THE MONKS FROM THE SURROUNDING MONASTRY CAME, AND EVERY ONE HUGGING EACH OTHER, THEN HATTIBABA PLAYED SOME NICE "BHAJANS" WOW......EVERYONE SITTING AROUND AND CHATTING TO THE BHAJANS...... HOPE MORE OF THIS KIND HAPPENS HERE IN NEPAL!!!!!! BOOM SHANTI FROM NEPAL TO THE REST OF THE WORLD............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTT Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 EVEN THOUGH WITH THE LAST MINUTE BIG NAME DJ'S CANCALLECTION, THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS SO AMAZING..... When there is such location, you don't need famous dj's/artists to make the festival great. Simply, a lot of people had comen from other cities and countries to hear Jahbo, Kindzadza, etc. playing live and I think they were a little bit disappointed that artists didn't come.

robnep Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 After a madness, Colourful, twisted and magical weeked at the jungle, now we are back in the madness of the city jungle. Sitting in my room i am thinking, oh how luck i am to be able to be at such a magical location, small waterfall, and small gathering of people mostly tourist and few local nepalise, every one with a unqiue character, very energitic, vibrant, happy. full on music being pumped by dj's (Aseem, Kranti, Vibe, Solaris, Magik Raising) while some where dancing on the floor, others just sitting and enjoying the music and the atmosphere, and few fire dancers showing their's fire dancing skills and some people just sitting by the fire side. The energy and vibe out there was just awesome. as slowly the nite turned into morning, to be able to witness rays of sunshine coming through the forest was great, i did wonder around the place and went to the top of the hill to see the surronding hills, from the top it was great to see people below dancing, sitting and enjoying each and every moment. Dancing Baba, aka a full energatic Guy From USA was playing full power morning track. some people got into the waterfall, and dipped into the small waterpool, along with those fish inside the pool. around 10am in the morning and the energy in the dance floor was still full on. around 10.30 am shiven took over the console with his psy-ambient and slowly people started to chill out, shiven ended the magical journey playing the last track at from his Fav artist Simon Postford, from twisted records. once the party got over at 11.00am, few people who came to the festival started to collect the gargabes lying around. then everyone got into the minibus, some got into the roof of the bus and started the journey bak to the reality of ktm..........BUT THEN WATS REALITY......I decided to stay up there, only got bak home late evening.............a magical weekend.........i guess i have written too much now...ehehhehe....om shanti..............
