Plot
Belaet is the Nepali name for Britain. This book is a memoir of his travel in the United Kingdom and one of the earliest modern travelogue in Nepali literature.[4] Born and raised in the remote village of Barabote in Ilam, Taranath's arrival in Kathmandu from there was a big deal at that time. The book includes the highs and lows of the author's travel in Britain.
