2007 Spring Nepal Travels-day5

Day5 2007-2-16

Today is the early morning bird watching and then leave to bokhara.

6: 30 in the morning it was Morning wake-up call, hurry up the Pack, follow the wizard at 7: 15 set out for bird watching, that same GH and Shanghai girl Korea girls have to go with us.

Before coming to Nepal and Ganesh contacted, he recommended to us by his friends in Chitwan GH: Rainbow drive resort, 300 to 600 Rs nice room and told us about his friend is also very Nice, but because we finally decision package, so do not go there.

Today on the way to bird watching along the way, the net is the fog, nothing to see, just drop in to inquire about the wizard, after all, friend of a friend is my friend, but unfortunately the Chitwan here words containing Rainbow GH too much, he just don't really know what is which (of course there is also a language Exchange problem), but to do infants.

We came out from the GH walk along the River, passing a barracks, turned into a swamp (Meadow), the wizard warns us not to speak loudly, walking to the light, because from here is our bird watching tour.

Bird watching tour to everyone's experience is that birds are really difficult to find, often Wizard found means to us, we would like to search for the young carefully to find birds, many companions also really the entire process has been birds never see, where to complain about, haha. So, not only must the birds birdwatching in it, but there is taste oh.

All 8 minute back to GH breakfast Pack, 9 minute and GH staff farewell, ride their Jeep to Bus station to visit boccara.

Jeep has just left fabulously Wang town, there is a group of children with cut down of bamboo barrier on the way to the money, what here also popular exclamation "notorious" is and friends to discuss the day before the estimated arrival time of Chitwan too late so there is no run into these "notorious", the wizard back to us today is the "Festival of Shiva." This time also do not understand "Shiva Festival" and the children now to what is the relationship between money, but managed to understand that these people are not "notorious".

Jeep arrived at the Bus station take us, not us to the bus stop when Sauraha.

Finding the day before yesterday that caused us to the troubled company's Bus tour, quickly get cell phone he filmed, remind you later don't sit this company car, Green Horizon Tours bus (this company is a carpool, we came out of the company, but was transferred to the SAIBABA Travels & Tours car, the car that I hate the extreme of broken car).

When I put my backpack to coach staff onto the roof, he is a puppet and the 65-liter bag of dust cover references, see my pretty hairy Ah, mouth really do not know how to say it in English, thanks to even packaged dust cover carefully, dust cover, a laminate, what's not.

Our car at 9: 30, 2 hours in front of the road, we almost every open out 1 minute encounter a group of children in various ways to stop the car, start the car's staff also get to put your money to them (i.e. 5-10Rs), then simply do not stop the car, directly from the door that money handed over.

Occasionally, our driver will and kids joke pretense infants to stop, and then suddenly accelerated rushed over, when doing so, they play a fool, but often few meters in front there is another group of children in the set up of protecting the cars, the result is a given. So many boulders, staff each have to grin, it really is the custom, but the children took the money to his forehead point a red dot wishes.

Today it is the children's Festival, all the children are a group of a group of assembled stopped the car you want money, each adult also smile look as though the West's Halloween General, himself being kids happy infection and a lot of fun, with mobile phones took some photos.

When the car was driven out of town area, stopped the car less, also took the opportunity to take a book to read reading just understand children stopped the car to money and "Shiva" section. "Shiva Festival" is not only a celebration of Shiva's birthday, but also to celebrate the Ganesh, the son of Shiva. Deify in Shiva has lots of make up, one at a time when he turned home, his favorite son Ganesh because he turned and didn't recognize him, he stopped at the door, Shiva rage, sword and cut down the Ganesh figurehead. Subsequently, he regretted that they had an elephant head to Ganesh install his resurrection, which is why is like Ganesh head for personal reasons. So on this day, the kids want to do what they do, but also to imitated Ganesh bar plot of Shiva, evolving into now stopped the car for the money, it can be considered to get some pocket money.

Really very lucky, if not because of the "Shiva Festival" on this day in all travel by car outside, will not be understood to another layer "Shiva Festival" means, at all times on the "Shiva Festival" understanding just everyone gathered at the India Temple revelry and legal cannabis.

Car parking at around 12: 00 for lunch, 150Rs ~ 250Rs range, finished by the way, the staff is also only 2 hours and a half after boarding the bokhara, read the following sixth sense that reads from the Chitwan to bokhara, leaving 6 ~ 7 hours, and from all the time, l is similar.

2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it started to rain, but the larger, faster peer began to worry that their package, because they do not have the dust cover or not fasten, recommended travel friends doing things must be careful, do not be lazy.

Yesterday evening and GH dude children chat, then he looked at the distant cloud said today it will rain, really said right.

> Car at 4 p.m. more reach boccara, stopped at a new station, than previous station to close to the Lake side here, we take the rain runs off luggage aside from eaves to shelter from the rain.

He looked at the station near the end of a raft, understand that the station is the new initiates distribution center, all coaches will unify the docked here scheduling, good move.

And wooden sign also wrote the from here to the Lake is the standard TAXI costs, although not 80Rs remember much last year, but this kind of formalized approach or make me more like here.

Had intended to Ganesh of GH, but a TAXI driver said there is not near the lake side, so they follow his advice, find two TAXI to LP on recommended a GH look.

The LP on recommended GH, double room with Bathroom, Shower, electric heating, a TV, but 350Rs the GH from Lake there is a gap (bokhara Lake District, just like my second home, I knew here) then we went to last year, I live in Angel hotel.

Angel hotel is also changed to electric Shower, twin room 300Rs, without TV.

Considering that travel is alive, there is no TV is not very important, and there I was very fond of self-service drinks every day, came back, lying in bed, you can enjoy and drink outside the price the same, so we decided to live here.

Accommodation in one episode occurred, it may be a language Exchange, when we Check in time only to find Angel 2 twin room only, leaving a Dormitory beds are sold (100Rs), shared toilet, peer resolutely not willing to live there, think Angel boss is not honest to deceive us.

Finally I and laozhou from upstairs double room moved down to our two big men live in the Dormitory, double room to the peer, alas, when a team is really difficult.

Boccara visitors clear than Chitwan, although there are many GH vacant, but like the Angel, Blue heaven such tourists and somewhat famous GH-all available seats, the Angel of the boss, the people of Iran are free House, in the small garden in up a tent to live in.

Angel's boss says you know me, Ghost son know he says is true, but in his Hong Kong girlfriend also came back from that, it is estimated that help him take care of this new sign tourism Summit (lunar new year period mainly Chinese tourists come).

Check in time (4: 45), Angel's boss for help to Ganesh a call, he came to get together.

And the Angel boss to misunderstanding please we drink tea, I mention to a cup of coffee, a drink in the garden and enjoy the sound of rain.

Ganesh at 5 o'clock, riding a motorcycle, and very pleased to meet old friends, last year the Maoists and Government forces battle, a friend in time to see the truth, though he is the last time I walk by the wizard, but we now have become good friends, usually will mail contacts.

Ganesh in 21 years when they published "mountaineering Guide", we naturally ask for invites him to sit down on foot.

I walked past 4 days last year because of the small ring road, but at the same time with children and partner Ms. hiking is not very strong, so our first Plan is I and 5 days Jason Laozhou go, others take line 4 days of small link, if they walk back to the original road and at the same time we also plan if because the weather, the flight of aircraft off Jason, I go with laozhou 5 days of the small ring road. Ticket cost is estimated at $ 69, wizards and porters tickets to us, their local prices are 20 to 30 dollars cost between us $ 10, Wizard, potters 6 per day to us $ 7 a day. We also budget per person per day for room and Board and other 1000Rs (sufficient).

We go to dinner at 7, by Ganesh took us to eat a meal, Nepal and India (forget restaurant name, is to adopt an iron staircase stairs, side have a travel agent, then my companions ate there several times, that good), we are very satisfied with the meal, after dinner, Ganesh and accompany our shopping and purchase some hiking supplies, he also reminds us to wear gloves, because now the mountains in the snow.

Ganesh people very well, I remember last year when we want to leave, he "Sammo Hung" shop for dinner, we help him some food is spicy, but he did not have to waste, spicy red face with soup and eat the meal was hard.

But today, he has his own GH business, has been with us, we are very grateful to him.

We back at around 8 GH continue to chat.

He and I got chatting to Nepal this year I felt, I feel the people here are friendly as before, more commercial, Ganesh also agreed, but he said that the mountains were also has not changed, or is so simple and friendly. We also mentioned the weather, Ganesh says it is strange that he said this season snow, the mountain is since 1962 did not occur, very rare. Appointment tomorrow morning 10 points to go through the mountain pass at 9 o'clock for fear of disturbing other guests, I let everybody back rest.

Nepal trip the most exciting part is about to come, so stay tuned.
