The hike to Jamacho, Nagarjun, was held on August 29. It has been a great honor for me to be a part of the hike.

As planned, everyone had to reach the Deerwalk premises by 6:45Am on 8th August, and the bus would then leave at 7:10 Am from the premises. After having some heavy breakfast at a small cafe near Kalanki, we moved to our destination: Chandragiri. After 20 minutes of the drive, we reached the spot at about 9:05 Am.

This year’s grade XI hike took place on Sunday, 28th February. The route began from Sundarijal to Chisapani. We left college premises at 8:30 on a school bus. We were very excited to start the hike. There was no limit to our excitement. In total there were 30 of us: 24 students from grade XI, 2 students from grade XII including President of Hiking club and assistant President, and 3 teachers-Sagina ma’am, Nirmal sir, and Sarak sir.

This year’s grade XII hike took place on Sunday, 21st February, the route being Jhorgaun to Kakani. We left college premises at around 9 am. Reaching Tokha municipality at around 10:30, we were stopped short as the road ahead was under construction. So, with bubbling excitement, we got off the bus and started our hike. There were 24 of us in total: 21 students and 3 teachers-Arjun sir,Suraj sir and Madhu sir.

“It’s going to be a really long walk…”. Of all the things that crossed our mind when we decided on the hike, that particular notion stuck. Not to mention that our last hike had been well over a year ago, and that it had not been particularly difficult, given that we walked an almost-straight trail just shy of about seven kilometers, this mostly-uphill trail of over fifteen kilometers was – one could say – quite a piece of work for the inexperienced hiker. Dhulikhel is a welcome retreat outside of the hubbub of the city, Nagarkot – similarly so, but that was when we drove over, not when we walked all the way.

On a sunny morning at the beginning of springtime, thirteen Deerwalkers joined for a 4-hour-long hike from the Deerwalk complex, while the remaining were picked on the way. After all the seats were filled in, the van headed toward the destination, Khanikhola. Since there was no traffic congestion, the drive turned out to be smooth and enjoyable.

The hike to Kakani was one of my first hiking. It was a wonderful experience to get in touch with the natural environment. This motivated me to get involved in this kind of thrilling activity. I’m now eagerly waiting for the next hike.

It has been my immense pleasure to be a part of the hiking team. Early in the morning at 7 AM we all gathered at DWIT campus premises to start our journey being excited and joyous as it was my first hiking trip ever. We started our journey at 7:30 AM and stopped at Kalanki where we bought some snacks that could restore our energy during the hike. We continued from there and stopped at the small local cafe to have our morning breakfast at Chandragiri area itself, nearly after an hour of breakfast we moved to our destination: Chandragiri Hills (2,551 M).

We gathered at Deerwalk premises at 7:30 AM. Everyone was excited about the hike. Our van left Deerwalk at 7:45 AM. We also picked some hikers on the way. Also, we went to a supermarket at Golfutar to buy snacks. We reached Budhanilkantha and had some light breakfast. Breakfast was delicious. After breakfast, all the hikers looked more energetic. We began our hike.
