Aujourd’hui, une longue marche nous attend . Comme d’habitude nous prenons le petit déjeuner à base d’omelette et de thé noir pour moi , au lait pour Thierry accompagné de pancakes . Les sacs à dos sont prêts ainsi que nos deux gros sacs portés par Dépendra . Lui aussi est prêt . A peine , nous quittons Ayra que le voilà les quatre fers en l’air , je glisse sur des feuilles mortes. Plus de peur que de mal . Malgré tout en une fraction de seconde je me suis dit c’est fini . Ramji très vite m’a remis sur pieds , il m’a massé la cuisse droite … bref . Nous avons repris notre route . Légère montée pour accéder à un grand plateau, nous sommes à 3750 m d’altitude. Nous prenons quelques photos. Très belle vue sur Dhaulagari et L’Anapurna . Puis nous empruntons une descente en lacets très raides pour ne pas dire plus , bien évidemment avec l’épreuve du matin , j’avais très peur de recommencer mon exploit . Ramji a été à mes côtés durant toute la descente . Pour Thierry pas de difficulté . Nous atteignons une passerelle qui franchit la rivière Dichvang Khola . Ainsi nous atteignons l’autre rive . Peu après nous faisons une pose au Dhye shambala , endroit tenu par une famille composée de trois enfants . Nous sommes restés une petite heure . Après ce moment de repis , nous entamons une longue montée très raide qui durera une heure et demi . Ce fut difficile pour moi , Là aussi Thierry s’en est plutôt bien sorti . Les paysages sont magnifiques et les photos ne restituent pas leur grandiose beauté. Arrivés au col Dhichvang dont l’altitude est d’environ 4000 m nous faisons une courte halte pour nous récupérer. Nous descendons ensuite jusqu’à un plateau aride et très venteux sur lequel nous progressons sur une distance assez longue. Brusquement une nouvelle descente très verticale nous amène au village Tangye .(3340 m ) très beau village typique de la région , entouré de très belles parcelles de terre très bien cultivées . Ramji nous conduit à notre nouveau lodge et nous nous installons. Hotel Shambala .

Pendant que nous prenons notre repas, quelques jeunes, en vacance, ont pris place dans la salle où nous mangeons.

Les jeunes sont très tôt séparés de leurs parents durant plusieurs mois pour aller étudier à Pokhara.

Ils profitent des vacances pour retrouver leur famille et prendre part aux travaux des champs.

Un jeune membre d’une association passe pour récolter des fonds pour la préservation et dynamiser la région. Il explique à Ramji les enjeux et l’historique du village.

Notamment, Ramji nous décrit les rites funéraires pratiqués ici qui diffèrent de ceux de son village également de tradition bouddhique. Ainsi, alors que dans sa région on brûle les morts, qui ne sont jamais enterrés, ici, compte tenu du manque de bois, les défunts sont exposés dans un endroit près de la rivière où les vautours se chargent de les dévorer. C’est une pratique qui peut paraître barbare mais en fait elle reflète le rapport que les gens entretiennent avec la nature. Ici l’écologie n’est pas une idéologie.

I can’t believe it’s already October 20th. That means we’ve been traveling for an entire month (and a day). How wild is that? Japan, Nepal, Istanbul, now Italy. It’s truly been a whirlwind to say the least. World wind?

It’s been hard to put adequate weight/importance on the things we’ve been doing and to distinguish the unique experiences and feelings of the places we’ve been. Each country or city or neighborhood we visit deserves its own interpretation, but I haven’t felt like I’ve been able to slow down enough to fully appreciate and comprehend what all of it actually means. Which makes me feel a sense of guilt, like am I missing something? Am I moving too fast? Are we doing too much? I feel pangs of meaningfulness in brief moments like when I’m standing barefoot on the grounds of a beautifully intricate Buddhist stupa in Pokhara, or when I’m bouncing around a hot little taxi in the dense and dusty streets of Kathmandu. Even (especially) when I’m gazing out at the Himalayas, at a snow topped peak larger than anything I’ve seen in my entire life. But they’re moments. And they pass. And I feel mad at myself for not holding onto the feeling longer. One thing I have realized is that when I’m able to quiet down (which really only started to happen when we were trekking), I found that moments from my past came floating back to me. Memories, people, interactions I hadn’t thought about in years would trickle into my consciousness. I’m not sure if it was the lack of distraction, or maybe a form of meditation, but it unlocked some hold I had on certain moments/experiences of the past. Except now, years later, I was thinking about them with a new knowledge or awareness of the present —drawing parallels and making comparisons and bringing new meaning to old memories. So maybe these brief moments while traveling aren’t meant to have so much power right now. Maybe I’ll feel it for a few minutes, file it away and save it for later? Maybe I’m too hungry to FEEL all the FEELINGS in this very moment and need to chill out and be patient?? Or maybe we live in a world of constant noise and stimulation and distraction and my brain is broken. I don’t know, what do you guys think???

The first time I travelled outside of the Philippines, it had been quite a feat. I was interrogated for more than an hour by the immigration and had to provide a spread of documents including my certificate of employment, work contract, and even bank statements. I was asked a number of times why I intended to go to my destination, who I was with, and why did I even choose to go there in the first place. When I think about it now, it felt as if they essentially infringed on my privacy and on my personal affairs. I wish I could say that the scenario did not happen again but I live in the Philippines afterall. 

Kathmandu felt familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Tourists usually go there for the fabled Mt. Everest but since I couldn’t stay long enough to explore that part of Nepal, I just opted to explore whatever it is that I could find in Kathmandu. 

Every street’s laden with temples and altars where they make offerings usually very early in the morning. I tried waking up early to at least see the entire process but failed on multiple occassions. Red bricks are integrated in urban spaces to preserve the old architecture and create a semblance of harmony and visual continuity. Brick architecture is also dense in some parts of the city. 

Some of our colleagues and friends from Nepal recommended that we visit other parts of the country next time. They suggested to visit Pokhara which is the second most populous city after Kathmandu. Among other things that they suggested including a hike to Mt. Everest.

Maybe another time. Should there be a chance to visit Nepal again. 

[reblogthiscrapkay]

A (hopefully) comprehensive list of everything I've acquired on this trip so far.

I'm 2.5 weeks into my 6 week trip and here's anything I have gotten so far:

Indian thread necklace from Abhi (my tour guide) on the first day

Elephant print I made in Jaipur for free and is going in my curio cabinet for India

A green scarf I got for free from the same textile place for winning trivia (unsure what I'll do with it because I don't really wear green and have a lot of scarves. I thought of giving it to my mom because green's her favorite color but I think she has too many scarves too so I don't know)

Taj Mahal magnet from Abhi

Henna from two sisters in Orchha (it is worn off now but I'm still counting it because it was beautiful and I loved it)

Recipes from Rajni's Cooking School in Orchha (to be copied and passed on to Adam)

Om bracelet from Varanasi tour guide (I don't wear bracelets and this one is brown too; I may just put it in the cabinet)

Earrings I bought at the homestay (definitely overpriced but I didn't care because the community needs it)

Mini prayer flags I bought for my curio cabinet in Pokhara

A book on Hindu and Buddhist symbols I bought in Pokhara

A new umbrella bought in Pokhara (my old one was already crappy, like I think evil ex gave it to me after he found it in his classroom, and it completely fell apart)

A cotton sleeping bag liner bought in Pokhara (per suggestion of Imogen after I mentioned I was going to have three more overnight train rides before my trip was over)

A charcoal grey cashmere sweater (I was on a shopping spree with Imo and couldn't resist because it was $22. I kind of wonder if I should have gotten more. The shopkeeper told us we were cute and we were like, dude, don't worry. We are absolutely buying your shit.)

A very heavy metal Shiva statue (This was a need, not a want)

A certificate for seeing Everest

A red thread bracelet from Abhi on the last day (I'll try to wear this one)

A red and gold shawl from Abhi on the last day (he was literally too good to us; I will miss him a lot, and I wonder if he would genuinely be cool with me one day staying at his empty house in Jodpur because I really want to see more Rajastan)

A Japanese cat pen that looks like Lucifer from a Thai 7-11 (impulse purchase with no regrets)

A little gold Buddha for my cabinet at the railway market (I was definitely overcharged but I wasn't going to argue about $2.50)

A limited edition Lip Monster Kate Lipstick from Eve & Boy (basically Thai Sephora as far as I could tell; Kate is a Japanese brand and the package was cute so that's my justification)

Dry shampoo from Eve & Boy (necessary; my hair is nasty)

At this point I will be leaving Thailand in two days. I will be getting curio items from Cambodia and Vietnam (and maybe Hawaii) but I hopefully won't acquire too much more. At least most of what I got I will definitely use.

Whether you're young or old, a professional or a beginner, there's a route that's right for you. So, the next time you are thinking about your dream vacation, book your once-in-a-lifetime trip with the Alpha Adventure Treks Team. Nepal has a wide variety of climates, with the highest mountains in the world and beautiful grasslands. The plains are hot, the central mountains are hot and the highlands have a warm climate. Fall and spring provide a clear, sparkling view of the mountains.

There is no worse time to travel in Nepal; you can travel at any time of the year, but different travel destinations depend on the route and geography of the Himalayas. Spring and autumn are good times to travel in Nepal.

Here are the best times to travel to Nepal:

Spring Season: February, March, and April

Spring season is the best time to visit or travel in Nepal, from late February to April. The temperature in spring is similar to fall when the roads are less crowded with tourists. Spring is the second best season after autumn for trekking, the best time to enjoy your travel in the Himalayas. Spring season is also good for mountain biking, rock climbing and trekking, the beautiful view of the rhododendron forest makes your adventure trip more enjoyable and memorable. Although spring provides a good time for hiking, it doesn't always come with warm weather.

Advantages of traveling in the Spring Season

Traveling at this time poses little or no risk - a good time for travelers to enjoy their adventure.

Enjoy the beauty of being a good traveler and do as many outdoor activities as possible during this season.

A breathtaking view of the beautiful pink bloom of rhododendron that covers the forest.

The climate is acceptable, with temperatures ranging from 16 to 23 degrees in the upper and lower regions.

Fine weather to climb a magnificent Mount.  Everest.

There are fewer travelers than in the autumn season, with more opportunities to explore the Himalayas.

Disadvantages of traveling in the Spring Season

Popular trekking destinations like Annapurna Base Camp, Ghorepani, and Poon Hill can be crowded. However, you still have the option of choosing other places to travel with fewer travelers at this time.

It is likely that the hot weather will cause problems for several hours of travel, especially in the lowland or altitudinal regions.

Teahouses and accommodation can be full and overcrowded due to peak travel times.

Monsoon Season: May, June, July, and August

Monsoon or dry season from May to August is the best time for trekking, and low mountains like Mustang and Dolpo are the others. During this season, you may experience extreme heat, dust, and rain due to the high temperature in the Indian Ocean. You may struggle to see the mountain properly, leading to walking on muddy roads and not having a good trip. The peak monsoon season begins in July when the weather gradually turns into a dry autumn season. Summer or monsoon can be an invigorating travel season in Nepal. Summer is not good as it can be very hot in the terai and highlands of Nepal. However, the climate is cool and pleasant in the mountains which are neither too hot nor too cold. Monsoon weather conditions can present some challenges with high rainfall and high terrain.

Also, the weather at this time is very beautiful, with green and different flowers. Sunny weather can reach 30 degrees Celsius in the capital city of Kathmandu and in the Terai region. The rain makes the road slippery and muddy and the danger of leeches for the travelers. Rainfall during this season has its advantages and disadvantages, such as frequent landslides, obstacles to travel, and beautiful views of the waterfall. Also, treks in the Trans-Himalayan region, such as Upper Mustang, Upper Dolpo, and Narphu treks, usually enjoy beautiful weather.

Advantages of traveling in the Monsoon Season

Few travelers, which means travelers can enjoy the trail in solitude.

Less dust due to rain. The view of the Himalayas after rain is quite amazing.

There are discounts on travel and accommodation bookings.

Accommodation and food are affordable due to the off- season.

You can make your reservation at the last minute due to the off- season.

Disadvantages of traveling in the Monsoon Season

The road is full of leeches.

Little chance to meet other travelers from all over the world.

A few animal sightings.

High winds and harsh weather conditions.

Autumn Season: September, October, and November

September to November is the best time for trekking in Nepal: mild temperatures, stable weather, and clear and bright skies make mountain views so beautiful. At higher altitudes, the mountains are cold at night and warm during the daytime. Autumn is considered a good time to visit or travel to Nepal. Trekking conditions can get worse, and many trekking areas, such as Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit, can be overcrowded with tourists, which is clearly seen in the teahouses. Thamel, a tourist destination, is the busiest part of the capital, and autumn is when tour guides charge more. However, these guides charge less at other times.

Advantages of traveling in the Autumn Season

A fascinating view of the beautiful lakes and green grass is possible when the weather is good.

Autumn is a festival season in Nepal, so it's an opportunity to experience the rich cultural side of Nepal.

Autumn is the highest travel season, so you will meet many travelers from all over the world who will share an exciting journey with you.

Disadvantages of traveling in the Autumn Season

At this time trekking routes are often busy and the local teahouses are crowded.

In higher altitudes, the temperature is lower after sunset, which makes it colder.

Winter Season: December, January, and February

The months of December, January, and February are considered to be the shoulder season with extreme weather conditions and involve more risks for travelers. December in the Himalayan region is usually dry with clear skies during the day. Because there is no unsuitable month to travel in Nepal, these months are not the best for traveling because of the climate in the Himalayan region of Nepal. Temperatures reach between 9 -12 degrees Celsius during the day and drop to zero after sunset which may not be good for those who don’t like cold weather conditions which may bring some risks for travelers. Also, you can consider it the ideal month for hiking due to the less number of travelers at the moment and the possibility of hot weather conditions in the lower valleys. Many prefer spring and autumn seasons over winter. However, many hiking trails are suitable for winter or any time of the year. Alpha Adventure Treks team also offers you some of the best treks in Nepal in winter so that you can experience the beauty of the winter season and the beautiful view of the mountains. So, if it is not spring or autumn, Nepal is always open for travel at any time of the year.

Advantages of traveling in the Winter Season

A few travelers make it less crowded.

Visit Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park to see unique wildlife. It is easy to see Royal Bengal Tiger and Horned Rhinoceros in winter.

So sad to hear about the plane crash in Nepal yesterday. I flew this exact route from Kathmandu to Pokhara on Yeti Air when I was there shooting for an NGO in 2014. Nepal can be a risky place to fly within the country with the mountains and weather, but an amazing, beautiful place with wonderful people. Some pix from Kathmandu and Pokhara from that trip. Thoughts with the families and friends who lost loved ones. . #nepal #kathmandu #pokhara #fuji #fujix #fujifeed #fujifilm #myfujifilm #fujifilm_us #travelphotography #travelphotographer #travelbug #traveldeeper #traveltheworld #instatravel #wanderlust #roamtheplanet #bestplacetogo #beautifuldestinations #passionpassport #mytinyatlas #travelgram #suitcasetravels #travelholic #traveler #aroundtheworld #globetrotter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cne_HcTO6x0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
