To visit Jharkot is to encounter the Nepalese spirit, which is the most important part of Nepal. Without a doubt, the village has not changed since the Middle Ages and it is here that <a href="/nepal/">your visit to Nepal</a> will encompass the most profound and remote area of the country. Here you can see how the country was centuries ago, apart from some solar ovens installed on the terraces where the inhabitants reheat their soups and cook their eggs.
The roofs are decorated with many prayer flags that never cease to dance in the wind. The streets are very narrow and winding and people sometimes fall on the stones engraved with sacred texts. It is possible to take a small tour of the temple by requesting the authorisation of the Lama. You can also walk the length of the ancient fortress, which is partially in ruins. Its proximity truly will make you forget which era you live in.
 
 *After the powerful earthquakes that shook Nepal in April and May of 2015, the country is slowly rebuilding itself. This article was written before the catastrophe.
