Journalist Ramesh Bhushal released his debut book ‘Chhalbato; Kailash Dekhi Ganga Samma’ on Saturday at Nepal Pragya Pratisthan.

Published by FinePrint, the book details his experiences on his journey from Kathmandu to Kailash Mansarovar, from the source of the Karnali River in Tibet to India's Ganges. It is a sociological observation of the places travelled, covering references from the climate to the forest, from the Dalai Lama to the oppressed communities.

Bhushal, in the book launch, shares, “When I set on this forty-five days of adventure, I had no intention of coming up with this book.”

Hari Sharma, who hosted a conversation with Bhushal at the book launch, explained that the writer has highlighted Tibet’s sociological and political scenarios. He further adds, “Although a student of Environmental Science, Bhushal is also a student of society, which is mirrored in this book.”

At the end of the event, Bhushal thanked and expressed gratitude to his supporters for his creative endeavours and shared that this book is the result of his love for the earth and the environment.
