Himalayan cause in mind

New year's day, follow the wizard to walk in Nepal mountain dirt track, footsteps incomparable light, filled with delight: this is spectacular!

Nepal is known as "mountainous country, this mountain is a spectacular mountain range mountains of main line, the Himalayas, mountain is China's Tibet.

In Tibet at the mountain, Hill, is the grass-Rock Hill, are difficult to see, let alone the trees, the huge, solid, heavy mountain, that kind of light 禿 禿, ash fishy mountains, clearly… sky, there is taste of the roof, and Xue-distant, glacier Sensen, has the roof of the world is very cold bamah. In Nepal in the Himalayas is soft, southern, climate, landscape and vegetation fengmao in Tibet can see a great difference. Here is the Valley, the mountain is low, rolling, slowly increasing. Along the mountain road, along the mountain line circling the steep Canyon, the River is flowing, the two sides cliffs green neatly reflect the blue sky, with a turnover of whitewater river all the way to shed light production. Hill Street, village, River, tree, the ubiquitous green grass. One of banyan tree, a banana, papaya, Phoenix, these internally to the South is only visible to the plants, but also amazing to appear in the Himalayan mountains. I see familiar jasmine, long green branches bloom tender yellow flowers on the flowers, in the wind. Roadside sometimes a tree blossoms branches where, colors pink, decorated with a green greenery. Ask the tour guide, that is, it only has the spring quarter, muddy winter and summer heat and the unknown. I never thought of in the Himalayas in this seductive green, though the footsteps with dirt track light dust dirty socks, despite the mountain of stone steps to let people out of breath, although a heaven for ten hours of walking really tired tired hate cannot hand to help with legs, can often have a surprise, the mood is cheerful. In the face of the spring green greenery here, think of mountain side of Tibet, Kuang cool panoramic fields, Wu so tall Rocky Mountain, mist, and like nearly far, as if opening of Pangu has just completed, and here's the beautiful, warm, moist relative ratio: side raw natural park, showing the love for the sad, is nature's original Park, full of blooming life. Himalayan mountain's exclamation magic.

We are passing some village, front, back, left, there are layers of terraces.

The village, there are only a few families, decrepit and scattered in the mountain side, many of you have dozens of household, or before or after the distribution in the mountain sides. The village is clay's thatched cottages, often alone, and not with his home accommodation near. UK head of a banana, thick straight trunk, broad leaves, like tenants of the guards. In the village, often common to hold days of old tree canopy, Brown roots half dew on the ground, panlong Qu Qiu, bow huge tree, fear is a four or five individuals holding hands to ring surrounding it. This ancient trees should coexist with the village, there are many old trees, the village also has a lot of old. Ask the tour guide, really. When people live in the mountains, bent grass in addition to building construction, logging, logging in to leave a few trees, the natural fear and appreciated. The tree thus continued to grow, villagers from one generation to the fan. Tree in the testimony of the person who has become the old trees, in the old has become a village. Most of the residents here believe in Hinduism, the village is a Hindu temple. Square temple on a cottage, white walls, black top, a fan of black paint doors closed tightly, very simple, very mysterious. In the village, there's this side of the village, green woods in trees. This temple may not go in, believers only burn incense in the temple. Old trees throughout the long, displayed Mountain Temple wall tile think people often apply trim, white black bright, see s. Old trees and temples are the mountain village of daemon, local residents while poverty, life is very serene. After all was quiet for cottages, occasionally women go out to, in the face of a smiling, answer me waving from the road, while a poor Sally, but gives the impression of a very quiet.

Take me to the mountains of wizard called NAR, House in the mountains, they rely on work in bokhara (POKHARA) University of reading.

The confrontation with the King of Maoist in local forces, were on strike, schools were closed, NAR was doing a tour guide. Nepal in English education doing quite well, tourists can communicate in English with the locals, but their pronunciation sounds relatively laborious and NAR pronunciation is very clear, easy, and is a college student, is also available on the topic, in the long walk is a good guy. I agree with NAR route is from POKHARA to SARANKOT, towards the snow peak, then to DHUMPUS live, Sunrise the next day, a close look at snow peak. Here the so-called near and far are relatively, because even going from DHUMPUS MACHHAPUCHHRE recent snow peak, at least, it would also like to embark on the third day. NAR arrangements at noon to his home for dinner, while the restaurant charges, but think you can go about Nepal mountain people's lives that don't care about.

Along the way saw in buildings and people wear, I already felt mountain residents of poverty, but to the NAR home, humble degree or surprising.

Former eaves cabin, Poles, mud wall, grass roof, do not open the window, is a common pattern in the mountain village. Indoor light to very dark, with bamboo fence separated into a small two. Large room to greet the door, two pieces of wood piles up grass spreading chengding glyphs display takes up half the space, near the Fangshan, half man high bamboo gate cut off, there is the kitchen. That is the kitchen, in fact, is the middle one hanging pot huotang, according to the wall of stacked wood sticks. NAR's sister squatting in huotang edge, plus the Chai Tim fire, Cece nongnong to put the food inside the cooker, all operations are carried out on the floor, while the later is to eat vegetables with chicken mixture of rice, but I always could restrict how she is. But also does not understand that this form of indoor nobody no vents, roof rafters Purlin made oil black, but people in the room did not feel that smoke. I and NAR, is large and surrounded by eight children crowd, the largest is the girl asked, said 12-year-old, small boy just learning to walk, also enthusiastically into and out of the cabin. NAR said that his father was still alive, the first wifeChild not procreate, marry a second wife, he and his two sisters. Now the brother-in-law, the two get a mother and sister in the fields of labour, the little sister at home homemakers, these are sister's children. I do not know this decade to personal two beds how sleep? ask NAR, his finger probe with small, I looked at the side of the ground, debris, piled on the side and covered with grass, grass heap with a blanket or something, probably not sleep in the bed of the night here. If the layout from furniture to see the status of a family, NAR's home is not what is furniture, unless you count the two grass laying a mouthful of iron. Dinner, NAR in eaves Lane, paved in a straw, adult children sat legs crossed, hand-on straw at the plate, hand fingers, just a handful of a delivery to the mouth. I can't legs crossed, vertical feet, sitting in the eaves edge, eat with a spoon, mind, do not know whether it is because of my paid guests, they only eat chicken?

Later, in the famous tourist destination NAGARGOT, I talk with the innkeeper Nepal mountain people poor impression.

The boss is the Sherpas, when young foreigners to climb Everest, the wizard back material, earn money, leaving the original family home, come here to open a hotel for a living. He will be two children were sent to Kathmandu to school spending is large, it is also a fathers love and hope. Speaking of mountain people in poverty, he played with very thin voice said: "people love Baby Nepal, not love. "Hear me dumbfounded, as if he is not a person, and Nepal, have children what love is not love, and hard what dajie? think carefully before seemed to understand what he meant. Sherpas belief in Buddhism, so he said of Nepal who refers to India. Hindu ideas enjoy life, especially admire reproduction, so many children in the family is very common phenomena. If the Hindu mountain people were and this summer-the boss's idea, to buy land cover housing, to give children the best education, it is necessary to make a fortune, you'll have to endure hardship and took power. However, perhaps the idea of living in who is not the same. Himalayan South superior ecological environment, easy to meet people's needs for survival. Winter is not cold, heat, summer not to worry about clothing. Land, there is harvest, so hungry. Accommodation is simple, but also to avoid a storm. So the children in spite of the numerous, always keeping it alive, only low living standards. Thought here, and suddenly realized that maybe I put questions complication, the mountain people were rough life as a poor. Charles bad boss with a computer, enjoying the modern civilization, and I was similar to his own struggle to blame India Christians of laurels, likewise overlooked light naturally enjoying life is also one of the kind of lifestyle. After all, to the humble people aspire to a realm, Confucius said "Home Cottage, rice, captives, brachial drinking water not changed its music". Perhaps, including myself, foreign visitors to Nepal, is affected by these mountain people and their way of life. I, Charles, boss or may wish to continue their hard work and money, otherwise I would not be able to travel, the boss will not be able to send their children to go to school in Kathmandu, but don't underestimate the emotion of life. So I because money than mountain people are wealthy had pity on them and feel shame.

Walking in the Himalayas, time and again to sweaty clothes, it is becoming more and more serene mood.

Every step, every step of the breathing space, into the xuefeng piety. But when I'm faced with snow, the earthquake photo engaging landscape, that even if the pay homage to enjoy feeling, really think the language is a little weak. However, knowing that it is not sufficient to express, or want to express is that when the human face of xuefeng.

In DHUMPUS, I don't have decided otherwise in the arrival of the next day to see snow.

In that day, get up early, a thick cloud layer, a piece on the overhead, the Sun has just showed up in Yamaguchi is hidden behind the clouds. Standing at the entrance of the hills that across the Valley, in addition to the mountain or mountain. Tour a a point, where MACHHAPUCHHRE ANNAPUNA where, where, the DHAULAGIRI altitude respectively 6997, 7525, 8167 of Xue-although far out in front of the mountain, but the clouds overhead, I'm also sorry, cannot be reconciled, decided to stay another day on the Hill. That afternoon rain adds the coldness of the mountains, are pulled into a lump of: tomorrow does not want? tedious sleepless night, but saw the sky full of stars, a heart to heart, so near, decorated in dark blue night, seemed to reach out to the Park to the Starlight Sui-Chan. Five points to Bell, the stars still in the North gradually showing a white, I know that is quickly to snow, the entrance to the hilltop. Oriental remains dark, but the stars are right, xuefeng profile gradually clear up, near the mountains gradually exposed from night secretly, high and low spread, a snow from below. The night did not eliminate all the near mountains of darkened fluctuation is see the white peaks of majestic, or as Janus straight away, or as is recorded in the tight Castle. Mist rising from the bottom of the diffuse, suddenly see a line on the snow of red light flashes and start jumping, started in the world, was soon dispersed into a deep and shallow, suddenly, the snow into a piece of Sumi's Golden and pink, magnificent and mysterious. I was surprised to come back to it before they saw a red Sun has slowly emerged in Yamaguchi, is dressed in the morning haze xuefeng. Not much later, sunny, mountain snow overnight, xuefeng, under the blue sky, will show all its majestic appearance. DHAULAGIRI highest and most distant, can only see a small peak tip, in the Sun like white pyramids. MACHHAPUHHRE snowy Summit today, nearest, you can clearly see the snow-covered ridges, under vertical cliffs snow a little thin and through out the iron Gray Rocks, reflecting the Sun, a hierarchy, like a white shield, holding a sword of the Warrior. ANNAPUNA has two peak before and after the wrong stacked together, peak pulse continues to sweep the ends, right next to blaze with snow-white, MACHHAPUHHRE very spectacular. Most surprised these maps in the Sun, not under xuefeng Zhao-Hui, not reflective, imitationBuddha all sunshine turns absorption, snow-white and stand there in silence, doesnot, let you experience the tranquility is a tremendous power that has been infiltrated into your heart.

It is also in a NAGARGOT.

Here in sunny, you can see the spectacular East xuefeng, including Mount Everest, Nepal personal EVEREST. That morning and cloud fade, four in the morning I wait to see the sunrise at all, nature never seen snow. Already know can see snow peak, is a kind of fate, this time I'm no longer worried. Fast and nine, the Sun is out, I decided to ten kilometers outside of the viewing platform, 2680 meters above sea level, go to luck. Go to the hilltop above 2000, see the distant clouds open Office, a silver curved in dazzling, Flash, Flash was sunk at the blow of the cloud. I'm ecstatic, finds that more force, at the foot of the mountain. Mount Lookout, always looking towards the Northeast, Oh, this is what a spectacle: Green Mountain, clouds drifting in the Wanderer, fog, snow peak gold shining. One another by xuefeng in cloud above the horizon, from left to right, rolling in the horizon. The sky was light cyan, gray, clouds are a silver and white snow. You can only see a Silver Peak-tip in the middle of the day and cloud, distant and mysterious, beautiful and elegant. The clouds for a while, for a moment, even the Internet suddenly out of the snow, and even now suddenly break as if not a cloud in the world, but there are thousands of posture million xuefeng behavior to display. This time I had no guide, is unable to ascertain that a line which expanded xuefeng a is Mount Everest, however, have a taste of Himalayan Snow peak of infinite charm, can refer to recognize what is Mount Everest?

See snow festivals, saw snow peak of elegant, I seem to have got the Himalayan mountain people of fear and longing for the snow peak, also seems to suck a little crude communicates with tranquility.

Tourists will be Nepal's English name NEPAL down into NEVERENDPEACEANGLOVE, I like it very much.

P.s. came back soon, media coverage of the Nepal political instability and lost contact with the Chinese tourists, but I know that does something.

Because I'm in there, there are soldiers loaded guns in security, patrol, after checking, the outbreak of the crisis is pending. But the people of Nepal their calm in the face of all this, Enron and live her own life, as though the King and politics are xuefeng side of things. This Act, is not a numbness, not cool, but make you feel, changed and unchanged are the real life, people need to take. They calm like snowy mountains of silence. 17 February 2005
