November 2008: Nepal travel 8 11/21

11/21 on the eighth day Poon hill walking the small ring road (Ghorapani-Nayapul-l)

Actual trip: five points rise, wash nongnong, drink a cup of hot tea, 5: 30 we set out to climb poon hill to see the sunrise.

Yesterday's campaign in the riding and climbing time fully reflects the climbing for a while feel sore feet, but still have to adhere to. This leads to the top of the trail are the tourists from all over to see the Sunrise, day, or black, so all play to electric or headlamp, everyone is quiet up, suddenly feel that this is a bit strange atmosphere. Fortunately, six-day dawn, you no longer need a flashlight, but also from the peak. This ramp is usually 45 minutes, when the morning exercises! reached the top of the Hill, see has gathered a lot of people, everyone is waiting for the arrival of a ray of sunshine. Today, fog, wind is big. When the breeze blowing over the fog, snow becomes dreamy, but fog a dispersed, snow is unusual clarity. At this point, you can feel the snow from our good near! with the passage of time, Sunrise came also, but first I didn't think it was very beautiful, the more Golden mountain tip, the more you feel the beauty of sunlight mountain. Snow Mountain Sunrise fascinating to me. See more or less, consume less memory, we descended. Stops photos, we spent about half an hour or so to the hotel. There is a near-in Yamaguchi newly opened hotel, excellent geographical location, outside watching the snow ate should enjoy. Unfortunately forgot to name. But the mountains are really very odd cold, although wearing a lot of clothes or feel cold. It is said that back posted a bit to warm the baby.

Back to our Hungry Eye, breakfast is ready.

Fortunately, my friend recover well, today sets should be no problem. We start at 9 a.m., and feel that today are the road should be easy. Of late, but the mountain while relaxing on the knee injury is also large. This is reflected in the difficult 3300 Multipole step along the way. Just started, knee pain, death, I was across the next step, step by step moving forward, so although it is downhill, I spent a long time. The decline was good friends with nature all ran to the front. A road was n foreigners beyond, watched them leap down, I was surprised, and people have such a big difference between? Fortunately this way Vista quite beautiful. May is the mountain view, half-way we all do not require rest tea in the afternoon, and eventually moved to a point before the places to eat. Pasang classmate has had a bath. I hear exciting, because I really want to wash. My hair has stuck to the scalp of a morning. With the consent, I quickly rushed over, then quickly washed out, and then slowly eating my lunch. Bath really feel comfortable. Set off again in the afternoon. Rest think step more difficult cross-fired, need to adapt for a while. Fortunately the next road, relatively flat photos while walking. Team or open, go to the front of comrades in a fork is catching up with the wizard, because that might be taking us Pasang went bar shortcut, can turn a small hill, it is estimated that can save 45 minutes. This shortcut is needed over a river, some places we need to step on a stone in the past, which we balance good lad is a piece of cake. We cross the river of time actually see a cow is from the other side trip across the River, the big guy awkward movements is very funny, but in the end it was over. This should be a local people walk along the corners, met some people, they are all very friendly and let's go. Pasang said he would not go with one of the corners, if the rainy season, the water is too big it couldn't go. We are very grateful to him, looking back on the hillside looking, estimated to our rate-a-half hours away.

We finally arrived at 4: 30 when the same into p., just came out from the other side.

Hey, a lap down equal to white doing work, but the little foot is still worth it, after all, not many such opportunities, and this mature less walking routes. We all left in into the p.. Across the suspension bridge, we still have half an hour walk through the little town to our Nayapul rides. At this point, found a large dark clouds overhead, the rain is lying down. All small to catch a few steps (because I am too tired to also run fast) hoping to your vehicle. This is our entire ten days only encountered half hour rain. So the dry weather good outing is crucial.

5 p.m. we arrived at the parking place on time.

Our porters earlier than us two hours to, actually still waiting for us, want to get a tip is not to stop. Although our backpacks easy, this third world to them or hard, we gave 200 rupees meant per person. But we intend to give Pasang1000 rupee tips, be sure of his work, this is way down the line. Sit on the bus, we all started to go to bed, felt dark, cars drove very slowly.

We are at 7 p.m., from Hotel to bokhara Meera took storage bags for the driver to the Noble Inn.

Although this is only two minutes, but now we walk past backpack is quite difficult, because when we all get call leg ache. To the Noble Inn, who has been waiting for us, but also enthusiastic told us that she knows we walk back to the bath, hot water has helped us ready. Rushed her intimate, we are very impressed. We and the wizard says good bath with dinner, before we go on foot of the famous steak Everest Steak. In the mountains or the chicken and egg fried rice food every day, down finally other meat eating. I don't eat beef and point the rafts, taste good, everyone said that steak. All in all a good meal. Three days in the mountains we own overhead, six people together is Rs. 300, and the meal is eaten this number. 3000 rupees on the ground may be one person's wages in January, we are ashamed of their own too extravagant! our Wizard Pasang is a quite ideasMan, he prefers to stay with the local people are not crowded, and very clean, although it looks really bad. He bought luxury coach back with nearly 1000 rupees are, is a luxury, but maybe he earned it. Before we say goodbye and Pasang discuss the tip amount, give him 1000 rupees, or you don't know what this number is much too small.

Of course, today is fixed Street shopping, and we return home after their sleep.

I told myself to sleep for tomorrow to 8 points, first, the three-day walk yourself kaolao completing, link, and the second is that you want to know here till 8 Basic is wishful thinking, every day is up early. This is a rare day not in a hurry, slept late!

Accommodation: Noble Inn

Today's ride:

5: 30 – 6: 10 departure-poon hill (walking 40min)

6: 10 – 7: 20 to see the Sunrise (1h10min)

7: 20 – 7: 50 downhill back to the hotel (walking 30min)

8: 55-12: 55 proceeding down the mountain-lunch at the hotel (walking 3h)

12: 55-14: 00 lunch (1h)

14: 00 – 17: 00 lunch in the Office – na Nayapul (walking 3h)

17: 15-19: 00 back to bokhara (car 1h45m)

Tips: 1) on whether to go for three days, completing, link is able to prove, but must be counterclockwise.

Clockwise is unlikely. But this three-day strength is relatively large, willpower is important. We see our flu friends knew the importance of tenacity. We the several persons are 30 or so, the manual also is generally only, but everyone was able to endure hardship. Ever see a travelogue that walking is leisure, I felt the need to correct it. If you have a lot of time, it is indeed very casual, some people spend 6 days left of the small ring road, the three-day walk is not casual. We or our capability, after all, walking is not a right for all people. 2) mountain lodging point is very simple, a room with two beds and a bedside table, looks very clean. But I'd take out your own quilt cover drill into more peace of mind. Nepal is not quilt cover, blanket and people to give you a bedsheet isolation, so you will probably sleep sleeping close contacts with blankets, and the blanket are clean, yet to be explored, not washing blankets of every possible! so unaccustomed to friends or take a quilt cover or sleeping bag! 3) mountain anything is to spend money. A thermos of hot water uniform price 100 rupees, sometimes had to spent. 4) comparison of cold mountain, night and up the Hill to see the Sunrise with a warm baby! 5) occasional off every day, but there is a power can be charged. 5) reiterate that radio and flashlight is very practical. 6) up the mountain you can let the wizard get pole when the alpenstock, on the mountain are can ability. 7) Laver soup mustard for regulated food monotony. 8) breakfast you can eat fried Pancake, two eggs, ensure nutrition. Nepal eggs are sold in pairs, so you do not want to eat more, two points a! 9) climbing or very hot, break a bottle of Coke (50 rupees), or a cup of tea (30-40 rupees) are good. Poon hill 10) to see the sunrise or luck, dry season although easier to see, but I still have not seen. Pasang said we are lucky, someone told him we arrived two days ago, clouds, Sunrise is not color. There is a companion that still can see Merino feilai Temple pretty Sunrise, I am sorry to Merida, haven't seen when it rains, no good comments. But on the whole hill or quite Poon. 11) road sometimes encounter the kids grab your hand or stop you to eat, do you want to look at yourself. I was more disgusted. 12) don't forget to stick with cards. 13) completely unnecessary with the agent or the wizard on the whole package of this package, we found that most of the 400 rupees Hill accommodation around a room, or the price of our season, eat something slightly more expensive. But we see the most expensive one iron chicken that is 300 rupees. One door, assuming that the wizard is US $ 12 per day, potters 8 dollars per person, we have two. Our six people per capita expenditure on full day filled is 15 dollars, so we talk about 25 dollar package is really not cost-effective. Just hire a guide and porters are required to take the risk of the good points of the hotel may have room, but I think that finding a place to live for sure no problem.
