2006 Spring Nepal Travels (the first day of the walk, l)

Day3 2006-1-31

O'clock before return to GH, with two fellow travelers in GH garden that wait for me to tell me something tomorrow on foot: the wizard is they encounter a girl describes, that is very good.

Price they talk about the good, the wizard 500Rs day, potters 400Rs day, room and Board at their own expense.

They only invite a porter, we four people everyone is carrying a large bag, their three girls package can try synthesis two packages, the Guider and Porter back one, and I knew I was unable to carry my bags on foot, no one considered to me.

"Well, my own separate then please a porter, if you please, my own back", I said, because you are angry that I did not know at 6 point if I go to porter.

"Then, our hiking routes? how do you get into the card into the card, without being caught to penalties if there is a huge! Chitwan aircraft fly? 4 days hiking, what are your plans?", my problems one by one, but it seems that in addition to the companions on price, nothing about, all to the mysterious Guider.

"4 days! nothing about?" was the more gas, said I LUA Viet Tai, since I like to travel, I really must first combustion in infants.

We all know 4 February will strike, but is this only effects Canadian urban traffic between all? whether interruption? if you do, we can shorten the time to catch up on foot strike before arriving in Chitwan.

But now the situation is 7 pm arriving boccara, 4 days trekking has identified, we want to stay in Nepal to February 11, Ah, there is no any plan, this is not my style.

Angry came to the room, packed with luggage side made up his mind: "if tomorrow and after Guider on not satisfied, I left them to their own play.

Nepal, how many years has always been my dream, I cannot because too will these girls and their dreams. ”

Day4 2006-2-1

6 am before breakfast to go round the companion also met our guide: Ganesh (later realized that this is one of Nepal the name of God, and not his real name).

First meeting, we all have some binding, I call Ganesh simple introduces us to walk the line and then a porter, the mountain of things I didn't mention, because this is definitely a little time to do it, if there is a problem in the future, you need to do this for Guider.

By Ganesh, we spent a 1000Rs package van to the starting point of the walk (gasoline costs calculation) and found another porter.

Somewhere on the way, Ganesh remind us whether you want to stop photographing snow, because soon sunrise. Maybe because the thing last night mountain, other people and I already have some infants, shoot the Sunrise, they categorically rejected on the grounds that they do not out of the camera. In order to ease the atmosphere, I have no objection (my camera is a Canon S2, long Jiao Wang), but this has become my trip once a regretted that in. When the sun rises, the distant snow-capped mountain suddenly turned into a mountain, very beautiful, in the absence of Meili snow mountain, this time, even if it is later in the Sunrise Poon Hill, it cannot be known as the "Gold Mountain", unfortunately no shot down. Beauty is always instantaneous, sun rise soon, when I rush took out my camera, "mountain" has disappeared. Here, I recommend to latecomers to the bokhara into p., a place where is the perfect location shoot the Sunrise (requires Wizard tell you), you must be there waiting for the sunrise.

9 point reached a place, the jumble of infants, squeezing out the crowd and find a burning car stopped on the road, the front side has met in Canada are a pair of Chinese tourists have told us that this is the hairy party last night bombing of the car.

Moment, it seems the "war" is at hand, it is worth. Locals in working together to put the burning car pushed to one side, watching them, I do not know of laughs at me they are ignorant or they themselves are Maoist supporters can't casually confused ask, quickly turn around looking for a companion and guide. Original this is into p., I expand alpenstock, follow the wizard to walk in the mountains, I was worried about not to know where suddenly rushed out a ticket inspectors.

Walk less than an hour, we sat down to breakfast, before the time of waiting, we ask to Ganesh cases: 4 February really begin strike big cities there will be a strike, not only with all; urban and inter-city ground traffic outages; l to Chitwan aircraft do not frequently, but now the mountains could not call, so I do not know on 4 February, when is there a plane.

A son, Chitwan and suspended. Companion suggested earlier back and all, but I have to add the impression is very poor, so strongly against it, I would rather stay at bokhara trance, a few days back and are ahead of time. Future tour controversy is not the result of, your views are not uniform, but breakfast was up, interrupted members controversial.

We go 4 days of Poon Hill line, the wizard led us to BIRETHANTI direction, I think this is a very sensible way, I will explain later.

Because you don't know the temperature of the mountains (morning and meet the Wizard), I wear more (emergency clothing + emergency pants + grab rongku), because yesterday's peer to tell me the weight of each bag should not exceed 10 kg (our guide and porters had just ended a hiking, there is no rest and took our single, already very tired), so I own a small back pack with a lot of things, there are several kg, horizons hot, sweaty.

The Sun has risen and temperatures significantly ahead of our estimates, the first is the girls can not stand, early to find places for clothes, I lean on

Every rest place with cold water cooling method for temporary flooding calories (most of the clothing has been transferred to my carry-on backpack, and then by going to the "big moves", and carry the backpack is already full).

12 o'clock, in a hard pedaling, my right leg cramp, first began to insist on his way to the next rest (every 30 minutes or so you can come across a small village, the first day we basically every hour rest once), and since has been using left leg strength, left leg cramps began.

I know this is because sweating too much, your body caused by the lack of salt, quickly had the proprietress to some salt mixed with carry water. Ganesh seen myself back in the Pack pretty heavy, tell me if you hold, you can put the package to the porter, I know I that porter back packages nor light, "no thanks, I know I'm the big package is also very heavy, I can hold" today nearly all day is uphill, although I really do not know whether to hold today, despite my leg hurts, but I still smile and rejected, but me and my friends friendship between Nepal, also in this moment begins.

I no longer walk fast, each time a break time is lengthened, far fell behind the team.

The weather is too hot and sweating too much, so I left that 400ml Kettle water, often in my next rest point already drank in each of the rest, I have from my carry-on bag to alternate water into the kettle, outside and back to locals to salt (my habit is linked only to outside the backpack a small jug for water sports, and in the supplement to the knapsack inside amplified water bottle or water bags, sports, the more simple on the outside of the backpack, the better).

Through additional salt and own massage leg muscles, my legs have not twitch, but every effort will be painful, and today most of Louie is climbing up to the day for me is very painful, then at the end of the walk, I also think that the first day is the most difficult.

The performance of girls day go better than I, and the mood is also very high, I tend to be more of a root alpenstock they do not, even in the previous jump to step back, I looked at really at a loss.

Cry, this inside my equipment is the best and only in the male, but now they were slow and black bear; laugh, girl, young inexperienced, 4 days hiking, first day so don't know treasure really physical, as usual for the Trek on foot to see you do a few days later.

My porter (Lasiman) have been following me, in order to distract the attention of the legs, I kept joking with him.

English "Lets Go" Nepal is the "Jing (pulp infants) pronunciation of"; "Step by Step" (slowly) is "MiSiDadi" pronunciation. Peer only Ganesh of English is very good, but very few local accent, when he and foreigner chat, I often do not understand (very good), so I always joke that he taught my English, I taught him the porter in Chinese; I can simply put some English, and to help the girls backpack for the LAD (Mokund) very few openings, but his back things up.

2 pm arrive for lunch, because there is saying it is difficult to travel on the mountain are meat, companions in cuisine began in Montreal during the whore (really can use the "find" the words to describe them), and dreaming to eat chickens every day.

I sat next to start some dumbfounded "Oh, no, this is the first day, just climbed a few hours, I'm not hungry for it, you have such a child, you but girl", we start to eat chicken problem joking, improved relations between each other.

30 minutes later, it came up for lunch, we seem to be hungry, fengjuancanyun to this meal eliminated, poor me a man, in order to take care of all the dishes are, is to try to finish first ladies, I'm finally moving chopsticks, never eat, have their own bag out some continue to eat beef jerky.

3 point everyone preparing seed, Ganesh come discuss if not, you can stay here.

In the afternoon there is 1 and a half hour's walk to get to our accommodation point tonight, but will be kept up, Up, Up. I said something us, my friend was very touching Nepal: "We are a group that I want to stay with you .you can go first. I will follow you with my porter . I think I can arrive there after two hours or even three hours, I think I can! "from then on, I have and Ganesh, Lasiman became really good friends, among them have begun to use to call the" Brother ".

Mountain temperatures dropped, I sweat a lot less, I think this is the last day I can stick down one of the reasons, but because my leg muscles will hurt, so I still walked slowly.

We at 5: 15 or so to reach accommodation Mira Guest House (ULLERI), here at 1900M. The standard room with Bathroom, 200Rs, I live in the Room very clean, room No.1, no need to bring a sleeping bag, just in the evening some cold, but that's OK, cover two bed quilts.

Here's the hot water by solar energy, because I live alone in a room, it was soon a bath, then go out for washing clothes, while others will be in deep trouble, roommate who after washing, the next person's hot water is not enough, then by fire water supply of hot water (water pipe through the stove top, don't read the boiling water poured into the bucket), but this is slower, and have to wait a little longer.

Wash

Finished clothes, I sat on the outside edge of the roof, wrote a diary while waiting for sunset watching the distant snowy mountains. Today's weather is not too good, sunset and not beautiful. The mountains dark very early, 6 point number was already dark down, we all get to the dining room, some warming himself, some people are playing a game on the ground (in a similar billiards table desk, fingers play checkers, chess bullets into the other bag). I put the washed clothes get restaurant roasted on the fire, and my Nepal friends sitting by the fire to keep warm, casual chat, the furnace heat baking waffles, grilled on the body feeling that dear felling really beautifully.

Ganesh to I describes the schedule for tomorrow, tomorrow will need to climb over a mountain, but the way to go tomorrow, mostly parallel to the crosscutting, only a small part of the Up and Up.

I also understand that Canada is so hot and boccara, sites are rather expensive cities, prices even more than the price of Beijing Central area, and they now houses and land are ancestral down; as we have seen a lot of the boss GH is a foreigner, it is their hands from the local rental house, buy a House, few can do; traditional Nepal, for example like Ganesh, they earn all the money you want to to their parents, they get married, have a right of property disposal, but parents is the head of the family; they do tour Ganesh, off-season he want to return to the land; we also eat beef, here, although not encourage underage people eat, but they can eat beef, but adults are not allowed (our partner decided to have distributed their some beef jerky, Ganesh do not eat but he gestured porter to eat), but I explain some doubts, I would like to be on the young generation, who believes in some doctrinal less; very pleasant Exchange, Nepal, I have an initial impression.

On the first day of the General, more of a novelty, but also because my drag, everyone has their way, basically didn't photograph.

But today's biggest harvest is me and Ganesh, Lasiman became good friends, start understanding each other, think about last night also behind for their 4-day trip to a stranger and avoiding acquaintance uncomfortable, a day of fair-weather experience, we have become good friends, really is good luck, I am relieved.

Please continue to pay attention to the splendid boccara.
