Hiking paradise

I bought the Nicaraguan wrapper for traditional SOAP, in the 19th century, some to the Himalayas expedition into the 1960s with the Western countries of hippy who arrived here, gradually formed a mature mountain climbing or walking routes.

Annagh spurna Hill belongs to the Himalayas in the branch, within the area of the peak, elevation of 7000 meters of xuefeng has 7 seats. With the Tibetan environment, here below is full of green hills, and around Annaba spurna peaks of mountains surrounding design different walking link, at least 3-5 days, more then 20 more days to go.

People call Nepal is the world's best hiking, because local hiking system is perfect.

Some travel agents in bokhara and recommended Wizard, the street of beifu of Outfitters, inexpensive; bookshop has various types of maps, very practical, so frustrating the text of all countries, but not the Chinese language; the mountains are flagging or stone road, not like needles, no mud swamp; along the emerging Inn (guest house) where everything is beyond imagination. The only regret is that the mountains no communication facilities, no mobile phone signal, or embark on a hiking trip was also is looking close contact with nature, why should they bother of mind?

In the morning, though I would first go to the South of the ACAP Office l for the mountain pass, Attn is a fat beautiful lady, kindly handed over a form I filled out, she quickly called out a sheet of paper, and then put on my photos, then the old woman asked a lot of things, it is the language barrier, do not know what she would like to ask, we even take a guess, may mask effect that asked me which line, finish line? I $ 2000R last, she solemnly handed me the mountain pass and forwards a copy of the map, then smiled and said to me: "Have a good trip! (trip!)"

Maps, beifu, alpenstock

For hikers, the map is very important for the wizard.

Though he bought a map, all class identifies in detail: the Village Inn distribution along the way, the altitude, and even road traffic is a ramp or steps have callouts, notes bar there depending on the route of the proposed accommodation points every day. From the closed contour lines can be seen, the hiking route basic at an altitude of 1800 to 3300 20 days between up and down, big ring road around Ann peak series of four 7000m snow walk around, it will require a considerable talent to complete.

Nepal Beifu is famous worldwide.

They bear the weight, back to the 1960 kg things count Pediatrics, "back" method a special, long strap to leaf bags "back" on the forehead, head took a lot of weight. Many hikers are employed most of these beifu beifu, from the mountains, behind them is one or two large packages, but life gets easy, like home, but hikers only with his own body was panting behind. Will some English as Wizard, the daily wages of about 10 dollars, if beifu can't speak English very well, that's his money would be much less because guests also employ English Guide.

We didn't ask beifu, because Anna Purna had walking routes for decades of history, we have a detailed map, then and there are general fork logo, along with each Village Inn, can guarantee the basic food and accommodation, we don't need to carry large amounts of drinking water, food and camping equipment, backpack and is not very heavy, I was just back up clothes sleeping bags and necessary food and water.

Besides a knapsack on his shoulder, hikers and visitors is an important distinction, I think experience is the former.

When we start Nayapul town, on the journey on foot, though he looked at my empty hands and said: "you must have the alpenstock, alpenstock can reduce 30% of the surface of the knee, or too much pressure on the knee.

"Heard the word knee, I can't help but a sinking of heart, this is what worries me most. Since years ago inadvertently hurt his knee, various methods have been exhausted, the last time the bone-expert techniques of synovial split my knee, I put up with a piercing pain, complete rehabilitation, middle age, I don't want to fall down what the root cause. At this point, several complete opposite from walking in the hands of foreigners, leaning on a stick, a question is France. Though he asked people in the hands of a stick does end mission, gave us, the other friendly and gave me the two together. I probably spent half an hour to learn how to use the "Alpen", it really felt but ability to have power on the province.

Caravan and guest house

Along the road, with the exception of a few with the way some muddy river, are basically stone or stone paved, even the bench is also built of stone, very good.

Pavement now uplink, now descending; widest point but by 5 metres, the narrowest place only two people could not through the mountains. Therefore, the road often encounter trade caravans and beifu keg necessities or building materials. Often when I get close to the rock side to the Mule had let road, fear is the bulky animal I squeeze down the slope; and secondly, do not have the heart to let them to let me take the diversion 2335 step. When stopped waiting for their adoption, I often stare at their eyes, I found the Mule's eyes are blue, not like in the mountains cows eyes full of serenity, the Mule was faced with a walk through of the Hill, the back is heavy goods, their legs somewhat shiver, the owner may be sympathetic to their tough, very few scolding, only the neutral tone of the press. Never believe in transmigration of I, could not help but think of often heard saying: "I have the followingLife becomes a donkey, variable Ma reward your "notes this is reincarnated's bottom line, if you really have a reincarnation, the Mule's previous life? God why punish them so suffer involvement? good in them is wise thinking, sometimes encountered setbacks staggered heights, they can choose the shortcut of least resistance, several times I have followed their footprint.

Mountain road, the three 500 meters, the road will have two layers of isosceles high stone steps that people can rely on to get a backpack to remove the rest.

Few miles would have on the side of the village, there are all kinds of guest house (the Inn), followed by Swordsman of the scene, is the restaurant upstairs downstairs is guest rooms. Rooms are sloping top board room, mostly on a landscape orientation. Inn wall covered with monochrome or strip color paint, open space in front of the bar, on the envelopes with the flowers and plants. Each Inn grades and landscape are very much the same, the villagers serene calm, no soliciting, nor does it run on each other, by the travelers to choose their feelings.

Inn and accommodation prices by the Government of ACAP, the price is very uniform, General room 100R $ (equivalent to USD $ 11).

Food more expensive, you can fit a counter-offer but space is not large, the egg 60 R $ R $ 30, boiling water, rice, 80 R $ drop one zero, that is roughly the price of the RMB. Menu content is very rich, but in the end is Nepal mountain, really offer mostly Nepal meal and simple food. Nepal meal called Dal Bhat, that is, the Curry Chicken + Rice + fried vegetables + acid mixed with onions, salt and mung bean soup tablets + package, a R $ 200, in the mountains with Curry Chicken replaced with curry potatoes; food eating can add until you get to eat; eating local is the soup with rice and other dishes to eat with your hands holding.

3300 step

N from the entrance of the town, down a famous River (name has been forgotten, or too lazy to remember), into the Valley.

So on either side of the Valley is the terrace, which is in close contact with the Nicaraguan terraces, a narrow valley, each floor terrace area is relatively small. Road along the river or left or right, just started mainly gravel road, occasionally also follows the road, but generally little slope. We constantly encounter return or to hikers or tourists, a friendly nod, and asked what people? I found most of the people of Europe, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, and United States person is not many. In the past, what we say is Europe and the United States, it now appears in the select the lifestyle, the Europeans and the United States who still have a difference of! this "international" line in the East at least, during the "labor day", if you come across people, mostly a tourist-oriented teams, chirp ballast ballast. I followed the Super hiking guests though, "pretending" to hikers, encounter similar people, their information is always according to the following order: you are the Korea Japan?? Oh, Chinese Taiwan or Hong Kong?? finally mention CHINA? though every now, always direct the newspaper: "Chinese, China!" so are people step-by-step guess, question us unhappy. This wonderful outdoor sports paradise yet fully understand the Chinese ass, we all stop in Tibet. In fact, from the base camp of Mt. Everest, you can go straight to the plus, spend a few days to experience the exotic, and then fly back to the home, this is a convenient and economical line.

When we passed the recess block 4, heavenly, after tikhedhunga village (elevation 1540), there is a special mark on the map of famous 3300-stone steps, direct rise 500 m.

Liege pledge, my clothes were all wet. Hiking just started also a half hour break, here into 20 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes. Shorter intervals; each time a break time is getting longer and longer. Look at the past, I couldn't help but also caravan laments their destiny. Nearly four in the afternoon, we climb to the today's Terminal Ulleri (2080) village, village built along the bench as a whole, in order to proceed less tomorrow walk a few steps, biting his teeth and a few steps, choose a Blue House Inn.

We put the backpack, the first thing in the bath.

Hikers in the mountains and down to go one day, covered with sweat and down is, when you sweat, exhausted, here it can wash up free hot bath, really is like heaven, this is also referred to as the "hiking paradise". Then, we sat in the courtyard dinner and admire the mountain views and the snow-capped mountains behind. Russia with the Inn's fellow also come and chat, he hands of maps is Russian. He wants to stay in the mountains for a month, had left more than ten days, man has no point meal, he took out a box of corn syrup and chocolate, eat a few bites even dinner. He said the food is brought from Moscow, when finished, his travel is done. Many hikers are strictly controlled their own budgets, especially foreigners, later encounter several is really incredibly, it and US domestic upstart-free line form a great contrast.

In a Guest Houes outside wall, wrote: NEPAL = Never end peace and love!

Yes, this is probably the desires of the people of the world-peace and love is endless!
