2006 Spring Nepal Travels (l foot second day)

Day5 2006-2-2

On the mountain to eat a good meal in classic mountain breakfast (curry potatoes + tortillas + milk or hot chocolate), we set out in point 8.

Ganesh explain today's journey will be the beginning of a period of difficulty, then most of the journey, but there is a parallel cutting yesterday, while feeling today have no legs, but walk in more cautious and the brine that supplement.

The mountain village is its use of hydro-electric power, so when we are in the middle of the break, the small shops in the light on, our Ganesh active on the lamp to turn off the lights, loosen and explained that in big cities such as bokhara, electricity is very expensive, and here is very cheap.

I was in Beijing in price, but at that time the concept of Ganesh told us a bokhara electricity price, I converted a little, the average income in accordance with local, is very high.

This season's landscape is not very good, Ganesh tell us now only Alpine azalea Hill, other wild flowers will be kicking off in March, the month of October, really is the best season, when not only the weather is fine, but there are a variety of flowers, a variety of wild fruits are ripe.

But in October, a lot of tourists, you can use the "all" to describe, it is recommended that all 3, 4 month to walking (5 month is rainy season has arrived, the mountain will have many pigra with).

Met in all along the way and the mountain entrance are met a pair of lovers in Nanjing, they line, just hired a wizard, but his back a heavy bag, inside was filled with various from the mountain to buy fruit, on a mountain to eat tomatoes, really delicious Ah.

Them because their back baggage, so go and unpleasant, but the two men was one of the "geniuses", plus we peek at the mouth of the fruit, so we have this group of people on the go, this is a very large Group, a total of six travelers, 2 Wizard, 2 porter, a total of 10 people, we talked and laughed all the way, also in the middle of the break from our female compatriots to Nepal friends show us the Chinese taiji, walked down becomes very easy.

Always remember to LP's reminder: "don't drink the mountain spring water is flowing out of the water in or not to drink, unless you can confirm that the water away from human settlements", all the way from a mountain spring.

Spring Hill was cold, most of the time, I'm just used to wash face, in a hot day, continually overcome with that kind of want to drink a temptation can really is not easy, but at our Guider and porter would not dare to drink the water, also had to be dropped (finally learn to my porter, at the top of the Hill a water main break at several outlets at the drink, but luckily nothing behind).

The way continues to meet the tourists in the opposite direction, they are three days of walking, most Chinese (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland Chinese people have fewer), everybody tells a trip up the "real value", this lets the children our future is full of yearning.

This is easy, the first day, the feeling of today can be used to describe the "walking", we had 12 noon, 2 pm for lunch 45 minutes were on the House-Guest House, Shikhar at 2800 meters here.

We also have reached the village of a group of people, followed one after come up a lot of visitors, there is a Korea Group, they have 8 personal, his back baggage go; there are foreigners is a day up (one day to go to our two-day road), bovine creature.

In hiking, difficult infants exceed others, because most people's speed is the same, therefore, not very often I met other tourists, now sitting in the Guest House's roof, sides and help the person with the garlic and infants looked back gradually up mix, really a lot of people well, think of the morning when used in October Ganesh described by the word "all", it seems that time here and China as crowded tourist spots.

Here is the standard room price and the mountain is the same, with a Bathroom, a large bed, I live alone, is 200Rs/d, but conditions than yesterday live poor children.

Take advantage of the day before, our Ganesh took us around the village (we live near the entrance), continue to climb, it should be also some conditions good Guest House, but watch it Up, Up to the next level, we still feel that live in the village is quite good.

Although LP on February will be the second best season for visiting Nepal but here we see some GH was closed out of business, and we stood in front of GH closed veranda overlooking a distant snow-capped chatted days. Distance Anna PMG-TINGTING Yuli there, listen to Ganesh said if we get ABC, long can pass over there at the foot of the mountain, there are many climbing enthusiasts on Anna PMG peak climbing, but where climate and changeable, Ganesh's many friends and never coming back.

That evening we eat their own cooking, apart from the raw materials of money, separate and then paid the fee for the use of 100Rs.

Cook this thing, I actively than girls, had a half-day, try to express various described the sentence "the sauce" and "vinegar" two words, finally put the Ganesh brought to the kitchen, he told me that the wall of the bottle is something that only know the soy sauce and vinegar SAUCE in English are SOYABEAN, VINEGAR, but looking for a long time didn't find the onion and spring onion, so I do not know what to say.

Because in Beijing, the tomatoes are mostly artificial incubation, has lost its flavor, made out of food and not too good, I think here of vegetables are a natural, should be able to make delicious.

Therefore, in petroleum exploration and a kitchen, I decided to do my dishes "tomato scrambled eggs".

Here is a very interesting cooking however, using a big stove, kitchen tools are not our usual shape, I'm pointing up, get a similar Pan things can be used to first scrambled eggs and then prepared a cauldron, in the future to boil tomatoes and eggs.

Nepal friends heard I have to do with Chinese cuisine, all in high spirits and ran to the kitchen to see my "performances", but I have a whole bunch of female companions also chat, get out there, could not find the start, this is what the "catch the duck shelf."

The first step of course is the first scrambled eggs, how can this fire stoves increase the size of the fire, even better than with the Division of the boss finally understand what I want to put down, and she is in the kitchen of the head to come up with some wood is OK, no way, I had to put the Pan hands lifted away from the flame, or me scrambled eggs will soon become fried black eggs.

In another pan put tomatoes, fried eggs here are almost, put the pot on the stove, then pour the eggs begin to "Braised infants".

Then my this dish was my companions evaluation as "too sweet", but it was my best friend named Nepal dish.

Frankly, that this dish is actually done a failed.

First, here's what you're going to get small tomatoes, tomatoes and fried egg no tomatoes taste, it is estimated that natural is natural, but here is the high elevation, the tomato is still "malnutrition". Second, the salt and sugar may be that no refinement before (not common), so the taste is light, resulting in me this dish more sugar, and the girls doing another dish of salt and put (all start on several xiaoshao found no taste, followed in turn so much).

The meal you cook's standards play in, but with these "strange" thing in the joys of cooking is very interesting, I and another girl in total for this meal made with tomatoes, fried eggs, fried pickle with cabbage, potatoes and cabbage soup with wire plus.

Girls eat more pick of fried eggs, tomatoes, cabbage fried too sweet mustard is too salty, they don't eat, Ganesh some restraint, just try it.

These dishes are based on 3-4 individuals of infants fried, a waste of shame (the locals speak, the meal or very expensive), but finally I, a tomato scrambled eggs, fried shredded cabbage a deduction of incomprehension is wipe them, really painful meal!

It would also like to mention yesterday to dinner one of the lessons is never eat in the mountains or stewed chicken and chicken soup.

Last night, they committed themselves to a chicken on the boss, the results come up, chicken bite is not moving at all, and then drink the soup, alas, it was never cooked chicken. I guess one is here to do strange son of altitude, 1900 meters above sea level it yesterday, although it took them something like pressure cooker, but still very difficult to cook large chunks of meat, not to mention is called "stewed infants", that is their approach is not the same as they do not know on ginger to taste. Yamashita bokhara Orchid Hotel, where the chicken was well and good, there is China's "smell", the price is not high, it is recommended that the mouth of the CityGuide can go there to drink soup, but the other dishes, Orchid locally should be expensive, and domestic prices of a dish, and food not too large.

4 point to the clock on the Hill, the sun goes down, the temperature begins to drop, and wait 5 points after the village we visited to residence, I can already see the mouth breath white gas, night sleep needs covered two bed quilts, Ganesh remind us of the early tomorrow morning to more clothes, 5: 30 set off to watch the Sunrise came back after breakfast we will go their way, require continuous 7 hours, will be very difficult.

Please continue to pay attention to the splendid boccara.
