Wander in xuefeng feet

The early winter of 2009, Beijing unexpectedly underground a heavy snow, everything is attributed to the pure — roads, construction, or even air.

Cold air mercilessly penetrated my thick winter, penetrating my muscles, through to my bones and joints. So I began to miss in the Himalayas Nepal Shannan that warm, there can be seen everywhere in the snowy mountains, terraces and the temple, in brilliant sunlight sparkling, gradually filling up my eyes white ...

All the way to the snowy mountains accompany

The aircraft took off from Lhasa airport, fly away to the Himalayas.

Half an hour later, when the radio to inform, aircraft will be crossing the Himalayas, cabin of people excited, occupies a window seat, they fuck up their guns short gun, on the window of towering snow capped mountain on the cloud cover and press the shutter, anxious Pro seat passengers kept pleading, those people taken soft withdrawing their lens also in the small window to occupy a place.

World 14, 8000 meters peaks, Nepal has 8 seats.

Along the Himalayan mountains, Mount Everest, dry City chapter Kingsford, Lhotse, Makalu, horse Anakin Poole that peak, Zhuo Austrian friends peak, Dhaulagiri, Pico, MA that, Makalu, these prestigious very proudly stand at the peak, between heaven and Earth. Southern Indian Ocean, moist air was this line of authority defenders, Qi Qi so stop wandering southern, leaving a heavy rain, ritzy at the foot of the mountains of Nepal size, running rivers, dense forests and Nepal were fertile homeland.

Along the way, from North to South, from heaven to Earth, to the water from the clouds, the towering Himalayas and us all the way up.

From Kathmandu to bokhara, we ran a vast mountain, air glamorous, verdant landscape. In bokhara, this small town at the foot of the Himalayas, then whenever the morning rooster, gently open snowy mountain pine clad, XING as window bars like printed on window; sunny morning, we hold up paragliding flying in the sky, a row in the snow like a faithful audience, as we quietly cheered; same-day side covered with magnificent sunset, we at ha'afeva Lake canoeing, soft as girls white snow, a crimson red of Sally, making a payment to us.

This is the snow-capped mountain Nepal, Nepal's neighbor, the patron saint of Nepal.

But for me this curious traveler, they are excellent Wizard and cordial Companion.

Home of the gods

Just arrived in Kathmandu, often holding travel Bible-"Lonely Planet", work hard and difficult to remember those Temple long Nepal language name, waving those local people sounds strange tone, in Nepal vague eye and nod his head or schematic, hurried busy from one spot to another spot.

These visitors in Nepal in the size of the streets are so isolated, they wore emergency clothing, carrying bulk mountaineering packs, heavily outdoor equipment, seems to be a full day visiting the Himalaya of lofty ideals.

In du bus Plaza, in the monkey Temple, pagoda, they shuffled the Lonely Planet ", check the name of each tower Temple, then fuck up Lance short gun, a temple, to the gods, but also on his own, a photo archive, it seems that their historical heritage of Nepal is auditor. This delicate task difficulty of travel, it is not good for me.

I would like to travel, maybe because we escape from the familiar city and life, curious eyes open, go to the felt may appear strange and unexpected.

Only for cultural heritage, cultural content in advance. Thus, in the aircraft going to Nepal, I turned on the flip book is described in the section of the gods, Nepal generally clear the Lord God of their responsibilities and social relations.

People who believe in Nepal was mainly Hinduism, as well as a few people believe in Tibetan Buddhism, Islam and more.

Hinduism has gates, pishinu, three main God Shiva, which the Lord God of countless avatar, avatar of a spouse, the spouse and their children constituted a clear division of three gods system. The gates of the God of creation, designed for creating functions; pishinu is reconciling God, can conquer monsters, is responsible for the guarding of the gods, Nepal who worship; Shiva is the God of destruction and annihilation, and also in charge of reproductive, maybe there is destruction is born. Shiva's many avatar face fierce, awesome.

Arrive Kathmandu, I put aside their books, excitedly visit gods.

In Nepal, the gods and their home can do not have to bother. Premises of the gods, and human mortal place nearby. In three du bus Plaza Tower in Boda Harvard, in reference to the temple paspa, in many of the world's cultural heritage, in the streets, in the water, in front of the door, you go through each of the three-step a roadside shrine, five-step a temple. Temples are mostly traditional brick, doors and Windows, roof beam and are finely crafted, housing in a manner of various gods incarnate. Temple of exterior wall decoration have exquisite elegance, always vivid depiction of Lord God different avatars, foretells a temple dedicated to the gods.

Devout of Nepal, the drive to walk through the streets of these niche and corner Temple, according to its worship God Division becassocked, will face every day of the event in the small love to different systems of gods who come to prayer, to pray for the whole family safe, Fay.

Stream

In Nepal, melting snow from the Himalayas, from North to South along the mountain towards the Inland Plains, along the way because of the altitude drop of different, or corrosion or anxious, numerous small streams into one great rivers, layers of terraces and tranquil villages, dense forest, scenery infinite.

The length of these rivers, water conditions, cleanliness and most suitable for rafting, rafting in Nepal as a result. And I, although in the country had drifted across a single drop of 3 m watercourse, but here experienced a life unforgettable rafting.

> Nepal river rafting adventure in accordance with the degree of difficulty is divided into 6 levels, the higher the level, the higher the degree of difficulty. Our four-person chosen is relative initial Chui river-rafting Suri. Our guide was allegedly has 9 years of drifting history, drifting over 5-channel (6-also not reach), on the River familiarity is better than his own fingers.

Rafting in launching site is one of only a few families of small villages.

We will drift of the vessel dressed in costume, pushing the water, the wizard starts to drift before training, from the grip of the action, sitting, various command and paddle movement, as well as into the back of self-help and rescue measures, a.

Rafting, River wide, gentle water flow, we begin to doubt whether you choose a too low a level.

In question became anxious in underwater, the river has been narrowed, the water flow to steep ROAR at pushing we came to the first Rapids. Wizard with a "Forward", burnout and questioned the demolished. White spray a long layoff, Wizard has a "Power", suddenly a little kayak was lifted on high waves almost two metre seas, bread has become vacant. Suddenly, all the wizard's training about me, consistent grasp the ship's side, lie to the ropes of the boat.

Small boat toward the trough, rolling down the river "WA" over people's heads, into unsuspecting ear, nose and mouth.

About ten seconds, and memory. I closed my eyes, breathe out live, hands up feel, feel that they have been detained in underwater ship can only try to move to the side. Question to head to surface, deep a breath of returning to the air, open your eyes, I saw the whole playing SAX boat Flip on the water, all fell into the water.

Did not reflection on the strategies, and the River quickly we and playing SAX boats dispatched, and repeatedly shattered gather one or swim to shore.

Fight with the river several times to no avail, exhausted, we adjust the posture, the supine float on water, wait for the wizard. Sky chenzhelian, Himalayan snow melting huicheng of river with a cool breeze, Blue Earth drilling skin, invading the body. I was trembling, can hear the sound of teeth giggled. Looking at the cold gray sky, think of our lovely children and loved ones, and asked "how we can persist, you can see them?", time her tears in the eyes.

In the cold River floating about two kilometers — long before the two kilometres that came from the voice of my wish.

“Are you all right?” The wizard and have rescued companion rowed to rescue me. Eagerly looking forward to the boat a scale ruler to my proximity to the end, I was carrying life jackets, the wizard into the cabin.

Against the boat along puffing, aftermath of people began discussing how to survive a front 5-6 Rapids, shudder of our consciousness to courageously straight front and team work is not of the Enron of danger and inexorable.

In the next journey, traveling to the Rapids, facing the sea, we worked with oars, tear apart from big wave in the RIP, unyielding breaking waves, and subdued by the unruly White Dragon. Line to the end, everyone cheers celebration, feeling the strength of the team and the good life.

Magic Island in the Lake

Walking in ha'afeva Lake Road, left is the blue of the Lake and colorful vessels, the right is the small town of bokhara, shop and garden houses in the mind cannot imagine no ha'afeva Lake boccara.

A wading birds in the Lake and gracefully, finally fell to the shore of the vessel, and I appreciate this wonderful lake view.

Admire its free and relaxed, I decided to go boating lake, and Lake Centre Island night.

Half-lying on the vessel, Ren, boats leisurely to swing and propellers, clear sky hanging white yarn-like clouds, said the air free soaring birds like the paragliding and kite. Far from calm Lake reflection at annagh Poole that peaks snow-white silhouette and shore green trees, Wash me that covered with hubbub of body and mind.

On the small island in the Lake Centre, through the winding covered with flowers of hedges, a green area surrounded by several single storey building Flash eyes, these Nepal style construction incorporates a glass materials, both classical and modern.

One of the grass, blue swimming in the crystal-clear water of sunlight shining shiny satin-like, this is the famous fishtail mountain resort, bokhara only built in small five-star hotel on the island, visitors can only rely on the ferry to the Islands.

The evening began to descend, leaning room French window side comfortable couch Chair, looking at the edge of a splendid flowers reflecting that the snow away, the sky this master to transform a pink, Crimson red, purple, dark blue makeup, suspected of being in a color intense oil painting.

At night, when all the stars in the treetops, envy this narrowed focus Magic Island romantic life on Earth. And I listened to the "Squeaky" insects, watching the distant hills and trees dark shadows until the hazy drowsiness pulling down my sleepy eyes.

Clouds day

Salang khok-is an altitude of 1500 meters peaks, 40 minutes driving distance from boccara, as snow mountain Sunrise best viewing platform.

A beautiful picture, also in order to avoid the bokhara small city anywhere in the country, we decided to stay the night in the mountains.

Taxi out of the city began winding up.

Just to the hillside, the car will drill into a vast sea of clouds, the car of cement has become narrow nine Rotary-Shi road, reluctantly let only two car glide, if even the cart with one will disappear in the clouds of the Valley. Taxi in clouds into drilled, rugged mountain vacillating, jump up and down, a few times to see the car at the side of the cliff, and drivers laboriously back. Tense when we hand the front seat, hand grasp the hand of the roof, several cardiac arrest in a few seconds later and return to work.

The car in the distance of the mountain there are dozens meters vertical height of road end stop, is little cottage on all four sides.

Drivers to peak on the several beautiful cabin a means, tell us the hotel reservation. Just in front of no Lane, IThey must be from the stone steps den farmhouses.

Waltzing on twenty or thirty metres almost vertical stone breath we finally reached the scheduled Guest House.

The Office, on the first floor is the kitchen and the boss a bedroom, our rooms on the second floor. Our room directly facing the blue mountains and overlapping. The House is a large terrace, sitting in the balcony of the small table, drinking hot Nepal tea, wildly heart finally get the rest. Looking around floating in the clouds, we know just how much it is worth all the effort.

Not far from the front, cotton-like clouds have been settled to the edge of the clouds on the horizon at sunset map slightly with pink and gold.

The surrounding peaks such as the Sea Islands scattered around like today to constitute a 270 degree magnificent ink volume, but we live in this small island in Chinese ink painting. Wind surge, somewhere in the clouds gradually thinning, through a cloud of deep blue lakes, meandering ha'afeva rivers and green farmland. Meanwhile, the cloud wave and manjuan seems to have hidden the room like a curtain.

At the top of the life of the mountains, the city's flourishing like traffic, rush rush of pedestrians, repulsion and vision of advertising and company thriving but also complete performance indicators as if never existed.

I greedily deep at Salang width, with grassy air, only a blank space and tranquillity.

Due to electricity shortages, Salang khok-power for one hour each night.

When the distant hills leaving a silhouette, small Desk starts flickering candlelight, we began to quietly enjoy a wonderful candlelight dinner. Deaf people on the Hill, only hush insects, some are afraid to interrupt the surrounding snow-capped mountains of the gods lived.

Salang khok-night incomparable charm, Star bright, the vastness of the universe is surround quiet Salang width and the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

Below the Valley is also a spasmodically, it is the small town houses in permeable bokhara out light. Today's night's beautiful, I quietly throughout the sky, the Valley of these faint glistening light of drunk people, that is distant relatives missing eyes, or the gods were looked into the eyes of the world. This night, suspected to be children in remote mountainous areas had temporarily short of the happiness of time, time as years stubble, on this special night I dreamt that year the shy little girl?

The next day early morning, Rooster high voice broke this quiet small village in the mountains.

Standing at the top of the Hill, to tile the background of blue sky, cloud-covered yesterday was fishtail peak with its two xuefeng neighbor gracefully in the sight of all, and as though we were only two or three villages of distance. Fishtail peak shape to pyramids, Gust, hilltop glints like gauze-like wreaths are floating up, dressed like a fairy tail-light. Finally, at the foot of the greenery in the heart of the village in micro-mist mist in the morning awakening.

Snow peak of right, is still a vast sea of clouds and floating on the "island" zuozuo.

Waiting room, the light from the clouds "little island" after a shoot out, such as Golden brush, snow-white mountain tops and wanton sprinkle on a sea of clouds, a top-down approach, smudge on the Holy light. Just a quiet start churning of the sea of clouds, pink mist from the "sea" transpiration, sullen, like waves slapping zuozuo "Islands" and the villages on the cloud.

When the whole mountain was shrouded in a golden light, light gradually become harsh, we reluctantly moved footsteps, begin walking in Nepal.

Walking in Nepal

Nepal, the hiking paradise attracts travelers from around the world.

Here, walking is not a professional privilege, and not always need to be religious belief or firm will, no eyes to heaven in a hell of a great contrast. In short, as long as you wish as the planet's biological, into the arms of nature, there must be suitable for your hiking routes.

Starting from boccara, short as a day of the Salang width-line, up to 20-day trip to embrace the Himalaya, even from the southern part of the beauty of Himalayan peak, peak, and regardless of the line management or wizard services are very professional.

You have to do is select a line with your physical and financial resources, styles, and even the savoir-faire of the line.

Lazy like me and have loved the natural life, you can select a bokhara around 1-2 days in low altitude leisurely on foot.

From an unknown small villages, all the way along the road green shade cover collision, walk through multiple layers of Terrace, watching the White Castle and is surrounded by the snow peak, tripping, heart of leisure time. Our line is East-West, all the way to overcome a few River, including our rafting over rivers. Standing on the long suspension bridge, at the foot of the river water is boiled General histories, remember the other day rafting experience, reverence for the natural heart.

Along the way, each in conjunction with the mountains, through over a stretch of golden rice fields, there is a small village in Nepal bushy shade is looming.

Walk into the village, Nepal person warm and sincere greetings to the oncoming. See our, lively Nepal child stop playing, round eyes shining with curiosity, we waved road acoustic "Namaste (Hello)". Thanks to modern digital technology, when they see the camera's own true pure smile, joy and shy look so far in my memory.

A day in a pleasant walking time spent very quickly, we catch up in the night and the rain came before admission into a typical farmhouse of Nepal.

This is a two-story house similar to the Tibetan style, just simply a little bit of decoration.

The first floor is the kitchen and Hadera, due to power outage, a few simple wooden tables in warm candlelight. There is no deliberate exquisite decoration of furniture, no clothes, no fragrance shining lovers of whispered softly, only has been smoked wood Chair, simple Nepal fast food and a few worn out by the traveler. However, like Nepal have magic of gods, accustomed to the great city of modern life, we have been in love with this first day of the romantic dinner.

After dinner, along the narrow wooden staircase, came to tonight's accommodation.

Upstairs are two separated by wooden hut andA place for 4-5 levees of the Hall. Two ladies sleep cabin, men sleep in the room, and when the security responsibilities. Members and clothing and bedding, thin diaphragm re chatting their heads off, it seems that back to the University's night time chatting. Opaque small Windows blocking out outside the shadow of the wind and rain and all Homestead forces'prime. Lying on a bed in simple, deep sleep were weary and psychological attacks, ear someone gently asked: lying in the coffin is also feeling? silent, to silence.

A night of dreams, a Dim room, downstairs there are dead dog bark.

Open Windows, black as night and Golden rain extinguished, glistening morning upheavals, the passing of the blue sky snow snowy lining with, hold scattered farmhouse in the heart of the field. In this nature's restaurant in the sweet after breakfast, we waved simplicity of Nepal farmers, through the housing estate after a dewy flowers, step on the way home with the Sun.

The day of departure from Nepal

Return to already have half a year, in the Magic Kingdom's experience also always will jump out from my mind, hug my leisure time.

There, between life and death, joy and sorrow, modern and old, Oriental culture and Western culture and harmonious blend. Of these, only experience may feel.

I know that when we grow old, sitting in a rocking chair, touch, recall memories of inventory, you will see the Temple of Nepal, snow, lakes, rivers and villages to see handsome Nepal Wizard and the beautiful Sarah width.
