Religion and nature-Nepal Travels 5

Article 9 3 may

One morning, I can't wait to flush down the stairs, because today's program is riding on an elephant tour jungle!

Come to the hotel's courtyard, a tall and large elephant has stopped in there, we from the restaurant on the second floor balcony edge climb like back, just sit, elephant began to slowly move.

We walk through the village, go to another forest.

The scenery here is different from yesterday, the first words in front of a large open flat meadow, covered with white flowers, come to discover the original was a kind of similar to a dog's tail grass plant, but this a piece of white "dog's tail" really nice.

A few small river meadow Central main line passes through, once in a while back, container cottages sporadic people head to tape, carrying a huge basket full of bamboo grass, hobbling Shanshan. The rising sun is not shining, leaves and grass were covered with dew. We sat at the top of the elephant, although you can avoid the lower branches of shrubs and small involvement, but in the rainforest are filled with towering trees, so we face was still inevitably and they adapt to the frequent ifaf intimate contact. Never mind, found on wet end face of a spider's Web never mind, knocked on small reptiles are the branches of the leg doesn't matter, injury or it does not matter, because my mind and nature are so close to the beautiful scenery with my eyes, fresh air to moisten my chest, beautiful birds reverberate in my ears, so all of it, it does not matter.

I saw the high standing in the treetops of the Peacock, bands playing in the grass of the Green, blue, white bird, running fast deer.

Most specifically, I close watched three Rhino Rhinoceros seen an elephant! are panic-stricken, like the ostrich-like head reservoir into the bushes, and regardless of whether the grass cover fully its huge body. Because it is sitting on the back of the elephant, the illusion of "people", I no longer dominates like yesterday so nervous, sitting near the three only timid rhinoceros. I found the Rhino body like the parched land, by several pieces of thick skin, as parts of the skin folds is very delicate, to prevent mosquito bites, they like to dip in the mud, with thick mud body mask out the smudge it's delicate skin. In order to not disturb it for this work, we did not stay, and quickly leave.

Elephant ran several rivers, river water crystal-clear, deep green water is water rushed out countless small tadpole happily in the water swims, little fish droves, wading birds, or from time to time to skim or carding feather find fish appetite.

Cross-Strait white flowers in dense, I cannot help but think of Tao in the Peach Blossom Spring "in the description:" clip shore hundreds of steps, time-honored ".

Happy time always flies, this does not, when we also immersed in the beauty, the elephant Akira shaky had walked out of the steppe, we suddenly from dream back to reality.

Near noon, on the tourist bus, leaving this sultry and the business of land, to Nepal's most famous attractions: Pokhara, bokhara.

We plan to be there for 4 days of walking mountain small loop and 1-day rafting.

Nicaragua's traffic, as always, bumpy, but because the Pokhara is a must for tourists, so I had the pleasure of the Nicaraguan first may be the only one spanned Expressway, experienced a long wait, resort guests, I also found a Nicaraguan a distinctive: Army Pro quarantine.

This may be evidence of Nicaragua is in a unique representation of civil status. Everywhere there are hurdles on the path, with barbed wire and trees on the system of road blocks, starting with simple sack barrier, carrying a rifle and the Fort, a machine gun was wearing a bulletproof vest. I found the foreigners in Nicaragua or privileged, because every time a checkpoint, the car is stopped, all passengers must carry the baggage car, from specialized check channel came to accept personal checks and baggage check, and you get on the vehicle inspection soldiers, and we are foreigners (who would have thought that I would become a foreigner, hee hee) is not affected by this requirement, we can continue to stay in the car, the soldiers would not have any difficult, sometimes smiling said to us: "Namaste" (Hello). While the Greeks after the check, you have to go to the front of the junction, and so we drove past and once again get on the table, a fresh start.

Along the way, is such a frequent Pro quarantine wasted a lot of time, so when we arrived in Pokhara, is 4 pm.

Reservation of hotel car had already waiting at the parking lot. Due to prior through E-mail and boss Groove through, so the boss specially for our reserved my prior request of the scenery the best 4/f, rely on the stairs to the top left of the room (in the boss's enthusiasm and goodwill expressed thanks!) to open the balcony door, entire Phewa Lake appeared in front of us, beautiful landscape.

In the evening, I and Z to stroll the sunset by the Lake in front of us, we find a small hotel near the Lake House, had dinner, enjoy a night, and shop boss Gotom chat.

The Lake is mostly local children, they played volleyball, chasing each other, the Lake also scattered several boat. Little by little, dark, and we settled, and Gotom early tomorrow morning to hire his boat boating Phewa Lake, he is our guide to several attractions.

Said, suddenly found almost wait 1 hour, and we haven't came to dinner, then Gotom ran to the kitchen to rush and his wife, also is the only Cook, and soon, my orange juice from their children end up.

I just drank a mouthful, he found that insipid, just guess what there is in the Cup a few slices of Orange (I did not expect her to use a whole oranges to hospitality I), saw the 2 children happy chew with your mouth Orange appears in front of me, one of the 5-year-old girl also show off like I see her mouth that yellow orange Orange Orange flesh, was terminally!

On the way back, first saw the crowds of fireflies.

Faint blue flashing in the floating beside float Ah, Ah, and implicit suddenly now, a large "stars" seduced me. Think of the Wanderer "Ling Hu-Chong's to small girl catching fireflies of the story, I also tried to hand to catch them, but they are very clever, each time from my fingers and escape, had to be dropped.

The tenth day of May 4

Morning woke up, went to the balcony, surprises, Eastern snow showed piece, while the Sun was out from the mountain after radiation, so do not consciously smile.

When we came to the Lake, riding on the boat, classified Phewa Lake, the Sun was just step out from the mountains, after the spectacular snow-capped Majesty is clearly in front of us.

Wind or cold, the Lake is very green, very close watched blue purple sky, as if in paradise. We enjoy the snow mountains around the Lake, the Lake, a small island in the paddle. The island has a small hill, the mountain is the famous monks here practicing, peak above the White Tower "world peace", in the Sun reflection with Holy light tower itself, but also a famous Hindu stupa.

Since early in the Lake are only a small boat, surrounded by a quiet, only the oars into the water when the sweet sound of water.

I watched the distant hills, suddenly found a layer of water vapor from the Lake and the mountains rising over time, shrouded in white fog. I was surprised, then understand that the original rising sun began to play its heat, causes the ground rapidly heating up, and the Lake and the mountain forest water vapor is vaporized, water vapor rises to a certain height, then condense into cloud. This is the natural knowledge in elementary school, I could see the Earth magic atmosphere. Is your own erudition complacent, think of this cloud is higher, I would bear lost sight of xuefeng? look intently, and sure enough, the Hill has a layer of thin clouds floating, and this, I worried, impatient and staggered to the edge of the island.

After rush on the island, along the road to hedge, and our guide Gotom you uphold the Nepalese people's usual style, let us Slowly, slowly.

Thought he just boating's hard work, we have resisted the anxious heart, slowly climb to the mountain. The Hill is not high, but the road is not good to go. Road and steep and long, winding road almost across the whole mountain, zigzag up up up. Our stops, and then looking in the snowy mountains, fortunately, cloud isn't too dense, so continue to climb up. 45 minutes later, we managed to climb the Hill, the white pagoda in front of us, but it is behind the row of beautiful snowy mountains. Clouds have been quite heavy for good in the snow is still clear.

Take off your shoes and bare feet, stupa, clockwise around a week, looking up at the Golden Buddha, solemn; looking down at the foot of the balmy breeze Phewa Lake, look and fresh face.

There is an open, do not know what is the role, so ask wizard Gotom, Gotom tells us that it was prepared for the distinguished guest of the helicopter landing pad! Gotom funny that, if his Majesty the emperor to climb this mountain, it is estimated that could climb up, so I had to use modern technology--plane.

Chatting, found increased moisture increasing, xuefeng has just is not identified, so glad I own up early, they have seen this beautiful scene.

From another mountain mountain, encountered many take the child to an outing of the locals, there is also a pious pilgrims.

Again, this time of the Lake has been a significant rise in temperature, some sultry.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the Lake Center of another small island. That is a small island, but remained in place, 50 m, diameter, but only enough to cover a small temple, this is the famous Bara herb monastery. The temple has many believers, I also do as the Romans do of a temple. Enter the Hindu temple is very particular about, since I do the preparatory work in advance you can know, enter the temple must remove footwear, also removing strap, leather products; in the temple only clockwise direction; not available on the left hand to touch any of the items in the temple, as the left hand is considered unclean; etc.

Had also wanted to go to David falls, because you want to catch a run into the license, so I didn't.

In the afternoon, relax in the room, clouds, winds, the Windows were blown up faltering, has just closed the window, the rain fell down, all of a sudden, the Lake is rendered with strange dark green, a long wave of the water of the Lake to the shore, blowing huge raindrops knocking iron roof, dull sound.

The street of the pedestrian has disappeared, streets filled with mist, the air is filled with a strong smell of water vapor.

In the stifling atmosphere, drowsy, so obedient to the will of the body, to go to bed.
