Trapped in Nepal leisure holidays (2)

3. trapped mountain city

The night before walking back to eat dinner in the hotel, the bookstore, Internet cafes, coffee shops, arts and crafts shop is also a Zoo and in business, when we next day morning lie-in, POKARA visitors seem to suddenly have evaporated.

Sun warm dimly the mountains near Lake lovely mountain town, roadside flower still was hilarious, but all the restaurants and shops are all suddenly become desolate, and resorts. Since the Government ban on vehicle travel, empty roads and only a few old cattle leisurely powder a step, not the distant FEWA Lake still beautiful, some of the Lake at the boat because no tourists, lithe and lonely and ripples in the water. Then we remembered the last night the landlord's advice, it is estimated that most of the tourists in the village make night mountain hiking, and also there will be no more new visitors come, just me and unrepentant in this empty town. Had a little panic. But sunny here, and rare so leisurely quiet good time, we are also not particularly regret trapped here.

After returning home, we know that the situation is quite serious.

A King Gyanendra due to dissatisfaction with the Government on the party's soft approach, again repeated in 2001 and-blood bloody family style, overnight Bing Wai Cabinet and senior officials of the dissolution of the Government arrested, imprisoned Prime Minister. To avoid slip through the escaped from the country, and ordered to cut off all communication blockade roads, close to the airport, the army of martial law. But Mao party also announced mass strike, threatened to launch a new armed attack, the two sides zhanggong pull crossbow, explosive conflict. States to require protection of tourists diplomatic protest against stubborn King has no effect, the Nicaraguan blocked the message all over the world, the stranded in Nepal are reported as tourists and death of the "missing".

Heard as out of touch, family and relatives are worried.

Sell tickets to our "expert" travel agency is righteousness, comfort my parents said that they are linked to the Chinese Embassy to the rescue, and travel arrangements have been made "Zhang Manager" with a satellite telephone and other equipment from Nepal, India adventure to find entry in our line. Although we have not met "Zhang Manager", but later learned that the mind is very touching. We are just in the "expert" bought self-tour ticket, the full price RMB6000/piece, "expert" only sell 4000, plus get 1 night accommodation in five-star hotel in Kathmandu, almost no profit space, we also do not think that the "expert" sold 2 special fares must be responsible for our security; but the "expert" but not responsible for, should take risks to come to the rescue. Home I also received the travel phone, after they had lifted the danger is not assured, and trip all 36 people to confirm safe return, not feel warm.

But then we tense situation is unknown.

TV all day with hilarious cartoon numbers from the United States and India; local English newspaper would only say that some of the "China's rapid economic growth" presenting. Nicaraguan strikes we have heard, the intersection of soldiers and barbed wire has also been common, it is not particularly tense. Locals look still relaxed and calm, still warm and friendly smile. Chat with them, who also don't know what happened, only know that Government is not allowed to drive a car on the street. The current King in peoples minds in Word of mouth is good, "he is a good King, was determined to be divisible by the corruption, the reform so that killed the former King; he is really trying to do things for people. "King boss of the hotel. See, he's the King is quite trust support, but also lamented now shidao confusion, less and less tourists, tourism is a Nicaraguan unique economic pillar, locals this is not much income also greatly affected. I thought a often engage in coup engage blockade does not allow media in coverage of the truth of the King of good to go? I and LG sitting in the garden to eat, play as usual on the stage with the hilarious dance, red, Red-Green-Green actors stood a table, but only I see and LG both boss aside quietly grieving.

In addition every night that I do not know when to leave but sorrowful, living like Xanadu POKARA.

Now that can't go anywhere, we can enjoy the long holiday. I like the soft times. No destination is not the time to catch up. Morning listening to the birds wake up to bird, feel the warmth of the Sun through the curtains on the face, and turn around to sweet dream; and LG have breakfast at the FEWA PARK, scenery picturesque: the clouds Lake reflecting mountains, birds on the lake shore at low flying, wearing a couple of small boats, horse in bow and quietly eating grass. Point a 120 rupees for breakfast (15 Yuan), the boss in the Sun with a big smile and a everything served, Tea Cup, a dish of tender tender fried eggs of thick toast, jam, fries, salad, freshly squeezed fruit juice. Sunshine Freehand and sprinkled on the body, from time to time have a bird flies pecking crumbs from the table, and the whole garden, only I and LG both enjoy the delicious breakfast and boundless beauty! garden swing, breakfast to a cup of coffee in the Sun sitting on the swing, can not find what language to describe our happiness.

I like here in the heart of life.

And LG riding car (local have lent, 20 rupees/hour) at the foot of the flying all the way across the sky, across the Lake of old trees, passing a field full of rape, the ear of the oldies MP3 broadcast I Believe I can Fly, Himalayan mountain wind blows gently brush the clouds volume floating magnificent snow-capped mountains, heart like a fly in the wind; in the afternoon, have a cup of black tea to sit in the shade of a tree quietly reading a book, LG in the garden with the local people to play football, laughter, noisy, but I am immersed into the story in the book. Occasionally, looked up and saw LG ran into very defensive, smiled heart will have the feeling of warmth; in the evening, a rental of wooden vessel in FEWA Lake alone slowly shaking oar, drag the blue water and bread on long wave, brought out a bunch of sparkling Pearl, falls on theLake rippled round in a circle of Halo. Castle as Dai, FEWA Lake, silence silent, nothing, it seems too simple to be able to hear their own souls. Only wish life was so clean and quiet, never end.

Nepal 2004-B in mountain walking 6

b-6

Leave ghorepani, ram, all the way down the Hill, is the day arrives at the end of the naya pul trekking.

This section of road, mountain, tree depth to the sky, the water streams. It is the beginning of April, azaleas blooming season, two kilometers of altitude, hollows all are bright red, rhododendron rhododendron forests, Nepal's national flower.

As usual, I was walking in the last, all the way down the side of the heart, but the words of praise, thought or poor the peach blossoms in few words most exact: edge of the River line, forget road distance ...

Clamp shore hundreds of steps, are tasty, time-honored. I almost think, blossom would be eyes like this, at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, small streams, deep in the mountains of azaleas. Never been to the West of the so-called paradise or Wulingyuan, I want to come, I am afraid that is not the immediate landscape.

While it is in such a distant alien, I still don't forget from ancient Pocket flip through the appropriate lifting a hanging out.

While the mood in the ancient books, even the time and space barriers, it is always similar. Visible world scenes, characters, are not Jingu, no matter what. Gas of animals, of heart, probably so. Look back on a very early age, occasionally the "read thousands of books, well-traveled" when his ideal, and there is no particular reason, just like it here. When ambition or fantastic is passed through China, originally wanted to go all over the world together, it is not too zicun may realize that China is so big, is enough I went for a long time now, that's all. Today, China is far not traveled, but should also be able to set foot outside of China. Those times, is also not too confident, actually really set foot on the map on the uncivilized land? East Malaysia Borneo, South China Sea town, aluminum skin roof in Equatorial sunshine shining white reflective make dazzling; Tonle overthe sprays on, will people scorch noon sun and the wind on the Lake; there are immediate snow feet over the ground red cuckoo. Often these tiny readily available and the usual thing, let me feel the greatest confusion: a journey, I really was personally came to this place, saw these things?

What is reach, what is the result of the non-some moments I would suddenly doubts from the simplest questions, a long time of trance, hard to understand.

Of course, Nepal far from paradise, even is not much of a peaceful place.

Poverty and death near at hand, this is not a money-making a hand as I can understand that tourists can bear. This area of the village, mostly mountainous nation Magar, Gurung homes, one of the greatest living is to do a mercenary, the legend of Gorkha soldiers. Often in roadside public taps, small words stating "sponsored by British Gorkha Association". Not only is tap water, there is the village of electric power and other public facilities, often staying in overseas Gorkha people give their contributions. After retiring, or remain in the service of countries such as the United Kingdom and India, or took the pension-back to my hometown. Ram's brother was also in India, his hometown of mountain village, is traditionally a Gorkha soldiers in the world. It is said, conscription, they not only want to select strong, but also cool.

There are many stories on Gorkha, Valor of almost mythical, India from the colonial era, waving khukuri scimitar of Gorkha eastward-West ask for soldiers, hard work, the latest legendary is the 1980s Malvinas war, just "Gorkha" these three words have enough people got scared and fled Argentina is unbeatable (1962 Sino-Indian war, then slam it Gorkha cannot stop the Liberation Army of China).

Leo cramming part of watching the company from time to time, doing incredible admiration. However, he switched to think, in fact also helpless. The foot of the village of course not be rich, the army is the most common ground a livelihood. If necessary, and who would be willing to take their own lives and decades of exile to return for good food and clothing, as well as pay and pension?

It is a little time this afternoon, and it began to rain.

We at an Inn in hille idly out the window is the dense layers of terraces, a lush. On the opposite side of the mountain village is a section of three thousand ulleri, multilevel stage vertical drop of 500 meters, going for a whole two hours. Also, although I've carefully, but under the steep mountain path will do, and finally the twisted ankles. Ram immediately took the bandage, skilled bandage up, it seems that business level indeed, not low. Here from the end there are several village, normal speed but also more than two hours, to get to is not so easy. Besides this I sprained, basic is not possible. Hille Inn is one of the largest, ram, he naturally happy to live in; we are the next afternoon flight to Kathmandu, before it's too late, in the mountains to stay for one night is good. So the tour guide and our textbook.

Canicula followed the girl into their home to go to the cow in the vegetable garden.

Supper we borrowed ram light, ate his master's fresh Curry fish, of course, not for our special made. But others said, I like the locals, this is the end of the fish up girl secretly with ram, also looked at me and laugh, so I guessed she meant. In the Inn's dining room miles leisurely look, here is the family of the Auditorium. On the wall hangs a lot of photos, men, women and children in the dark like box the following brilliant smile; calendar of paper with obvious Nepal Nepal calendar marked text, small is the Gregorian calendar, although can not read, but also to take carefully offspring each number look down, there are some patterns and next to the text, some are similar to those of our "Yi---, it was the" in-; roof also hanging several frames colorful colour line series of pendant lampSomething like the shelf. All this, plus the music in between outgoing, a girl singing in shallow, very mildly tunes, all showing a complete and reliable, allowing travelers to secure livelihoods.

That night the ram should be glad that we've come to him from his late dinner called out 40 dollar tip gave him, because this is our last night in the mountains.

To guide tips I strategies of the various travel books, and tourists get consensus, but does not have a place to tell how much I should give. Our three together for a long time, the final decision under this number. Give the money to the ram, he slightly surprised, let us think that we probably to much money. But why should they care about, but 5 dollars, and is not a significant digit, in our case, I do not know where to spend out, but they were not a fortune. Because canicula then about to break up with us, to go chitwan and lumbini, we ask for this information to the ram. He told a lot of things, generally mean those of southern India, Kathmandu, is not so simple, they may not like the people in mountain areas here. While canicula without English, it is best to find a package, all the way to get some more people. Lest we think he is in business, he specifically say that he is a "friend" position. However, we have always considered him in La business, after all, not so easy to believe others, although this is also the way we Department. Finally or noncommittal, anyway, has been going canicula everything. I agree with ram that is reasonable, and not to do business. (It has been claimed, after the canicula back near the India where it is good, he met numerous "liar", no credit at all, just the price. By contrast, the night very sincere ram or, after all that time, others have no earthly, in a good mood. )

The next morning, see the ram for a new tshirt, new look, we all laugh at him.

When he left home, good-bye, and also very nosy canicula from a group around a table to eat them, give us the the woven color line the shelves. Well, don't look good Ah.

The last half a day, the ram is responsible has been out at me.

Better off getting nearer to the end, not only the way to go a lot, along the village are neat flat and hilarious. Naya pul in the entrance of the annapurna conservation area, pokhara Highway Express. Therefore the way often see many oncoming trekker, each dressed neatly combed hair good, very clean clothes backpacks are also occasionally stopped to take pictures. See everyone, be it local or a tourist, are joyful loud say namaste! we secretly nod, Hei Hei, dont look now so happy, the road ahead may be a long way off. Remember the first day of the Inn have on men and women, I'm afraid that Germany they look at us as if we look at those people.

Strangely, after leaving ghorenpani day and a half, we actually met quite a number of successive speak Chinese, although not to the Mainland, but also to canicula happy.

Once a seven individual Hong Kong Regiment, once two Hong Kong mm, on another occasion is a walk of Singapore man alone. Canicula and those two are chat Hong Kong mm, I'm so far behind on the steps are clearly heard. Two cloud mm more, a hired a potters, but don't know their destination is where to go. I heard from jomsom, thus also said to go to jomsom, perhaps even further ... But for that time, lack of time, estimated to have been talking to canicula, endless.

In short, in the picturesque scenery along the way, I stumble, and finally to the naya pul, our hiking destination.

Just after five and a half days, we are so excited to finally be able to again see a flat, wide Highway and modernization of transport back to the civilized world!

Naya pul roadside stops a lot of cars, local bus and taxi.

Ram a bargain, take us on a roadside in a handsome guy driving taxi. Handsome guy drivers seems typical of India. India people love music, his nature is no exception. A switch on the car, the rhythm of the vibrant bustle of India music immediately. To be honest, I've never felt so good about India music, warm and cheerful, joyful, a male and a female Duet, the same melody is similar to the lyrics, you come to me for a segment, but still happily sing for half an hour! no wonder such numbers of bollywood popular, exhaustion of this people is so lively and happy music. And our cars also is very fast and winding mountain road nearly 180-degree turn, the big one after another, without a hiccup. We follow the car stagger wildly, almost dance music. On the way out of a lot of coach, is sitting on the roof of the TATA. Watch the car in an hour had a need to go on day two days away, the cool!

All the way back to the song plus rides, pokhara.

We in the annapurna trekking in this way.

Nepal-Kathmandu and the monkey Temple 3 (below)

From cremation coming out of the temple, Buddhism, Hinduism, the place to start covering the other half of the city.

Through several major Buddhist temples, read all the monks, the monkey Temple is not far away. Monkey Temple is one of the nearby mountains in Kathmandu, because of terrain, from there you can overlooking the whole city. Tommy Lama took me to wear to the hills behind. His house at the back, we go there to visit.

After the mountain still is a Buddhist style, gradually embarked on the mountain, Kathmandu, the city gradually begins to blanket in front: little big buildings, small house close decrepit together, in a quiet evening in appears especially harmonious.

In Tommy Lama's residence a short visit, I finally came up to the mountain peak outermost is equipped with statues of the water tank, people also like many temples, some of the statues to throw a coin in the corners. Through the Buddha pool, the former Hill around is dense pagoda and fluttering Scripture several scale considerable urn renovated.

Kathmandu, Himalayas at the foot of the city, he was flying over the Eagle devout people as the Sun was devout worship the Buddha, praying in the eternal calm on the other side, looked at the time of flowing river near me.

Golden sunsets, the date and time on the other side, between the rivers, the monkeys in the worry-free play, without this health troubles, Sai-Sai-rebirth in the pure land of bliss party. Religion seems to be everything here; a lot of people even forget yourself: life is poverty, which is hunger. Nepal, the people here, is faith at life or soul imprisoned a Buddha?

I'm a lack of faith.

Down the Hill and rushed into the Tamil area rolling world; in an elegant restaurant, called the native character set meal, spend 50 Yuan.

* ** * Nepal's fork head driver ** **

Nepal's fork head driver

Often in offsite, the most direct knowledge of the local way, favorite chat object non-fork head driver.

Nepal's drivers are usually not playing table, before they start talking a price, a row row, not just flailing say sorry.

Usually quote a folded in half, is a more reasonable and acceptable prices. After boarding the price for the set and then back out of the driver, we'd have run into.

Starting from Thamel once, going to a day to several places (including Pashupatinath, Boudhanant, Bhaktapur Durbar Square and KMT).

Because prior heard about small husband and wife of the Charter price is 1500Rps (hotel resort's so expensive), we offer is 800Rps (know the obvious is low, feel the distance or quite far away, but also with the waiting time), there were two drivers a previous houhou. Face frankly little drivers from 1200 to 1000 wouldn't go, while another English good points but looks tricky drivers, while a 900 are also willing to take us. The last honest man who does not enjoy, promised 800 transactions (what to the mouth of the meat to steal). HA! the results of the competition is to profit from it. But no they have any friction, up to grumble a few words which go out, I am afraid that the Chinese have long called mother or beat up.

Thought Shanghai drivers fear is the world's best technology, but to Nepal to know here is the only driver.

The entire Nepal haven't seen some back to the traffic lights, it looked almost scraped hit of the bar, the car is occurrence can be in GA but only before the moment. But even being hyper-the plug, never listen to the murmur and quarrelling, everyone always calmly walked in their own way, a smile is up to see.

Of course there are more black, fueling the drivers.

From the entrance to the Trekking Pokhara Nayapul (by car in around 1.5hrs) reasonable market car should be 600-800Rps, Van1000-1200Rps. Because I heard the second day of the strike, there are as many drivers reported out of the 4000 price, but are a pair of love to go away. He didn't cut!, strange.

Return to our lucky strike had just ended.

But not many tourists always, to the bus coming from Pokhara, before they get us back to the wheel. And our four plus two porter, had it not been for a Van to also can't. Everyone is on end ears are waiting for a bus, finally hear the distant car ROAR, small husband and wife, Summer line of even the price is not also the bus (1200Rps Ah, how to do this might be), but after all this time the car is hard-won.

Continue to our waiting, we all pray to silently to a Van.

Old innocent is eye! watched the black drivers carrying a load of people appear in front of everyone cheers. But quickly calmed down, at which point the exultation of can only be a slaughter's knife. Everyone wants to packed up excitement mood ask price, a tin of Yes 3500Rps and never looking back to tell him, no way!, we do not go, you can back! how drivers never his face is so good a group mentality, stupid ass.

The next initiative fell into our hands, HA HA! tell him back is empty on Ah, plus management service good uncle and careful tutelage of local people, the driver can only settle for the debt, 1500 close, you can set several locals together, but the road is no longer carried.

At this point, I clearly remember the car, we give hugs scream scene, that's what a pleasure! depriving help us hold luggage guy who do not know the reason why.

In Nepal I changed in Shanghai's habits, likes to sit is fujia seat.

Because the left line drive, inch (drivers right sit), a start was alarmed, watching their shift, oiled door, trance, often thought my driving.

Just got one moment also caught a bit funny, daodao to tell us this, and on our questions but from beginning to end, no one answered.

Let us depressed by (even run into a monologue), privately think, their English is not.

Oh, these lovely Nepal drivers.

:)

Anna PMG hiking day

7 points went to bed last night, woke up a few times, I do not know because a little afraid or too tired or too tired.

September 29, 6 points from early in the morning, not Nangethanti 1.5 hours to get to the end of the last to go to GHOREPANI, an ass sitting in a GH, points out the black tea with sandwiches and hard-boiled egg, beautiful ate a good meal. It is next to POONHILL, where I was looking for!. hills I backpack storage in GH, the mobile phone to charge, I have always felt that only eat their stuff, to free pouring hot water (recall in Huangshan), later discovered that this is not filled with hot water! find beautiful fishtail peak.
