1992 Cultivation Nepal Terrace
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and resilience of traditional terrace cultivation in the Dhampas area of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, taken in the year 1992. The verdant terraces, cascading down the hilly landscape, are a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the local farmers. The reflection of the clear blue sky on the shimmering rice paddies adds a serene and almost surreal quality to the image. The lush greenery contrasts starkly with the rugged mountainous terrain in the background, creating a stunning visual harmony. The Dhampas region, located on the outskirts of Kathmandu, has been the site of agriculture for over 2,500 years. The terrace farming system, which involves constructing walls to create flat areas for cultivation on steep slopes, is a vital part of Nepalese culture and history. This method not only allows for efficient use of limited arable land but also helps to prevent soil erosion and landslides. Despite the challenges posed by the mountainous terrain and the unpredictable monsoon rains, the farmers of Dhampas continue to cultivate rice, wheat, and other crops using age-old techniques. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the people of Nepal and their land, and the enduring importance of sustainable farming practices in the face of modernization and globalization.
