Return

We begin the descent, retracing the corridor through the gorge toward Pokhara and on to Kathmandu. The return is part of the yatra too, a gradual coming down from the heights.

A final gathering closes the journey together: what was seen, what was felt, and how to carry the kshetra home rather than leave it behind.

Many pilgrims return with a Shaligram of their own, and with an understanding of where it comes from that no purchase could give.
