On Friday evening, after 12 hours of work, 17 hikers from D2 were ready to move towards our destination, Ghandruk. Usually after a hard day’s work, everyone seems to be tired but on this Good Friday, every individual had a smile on their face. We were all mentally planning to capture the most comfortable seat in the van, but we three girls had to settle on a seat meant for two. But none of us really slept the whole night. The songs and all the jokes kept us going. It was really memorable.

Ghandruk means “Ghana Jungle” in Gurung language. Ghandruk is a famous Gurung village, overlooking the picturesque lake town of Pokhara as well as the breathtaking Himalayan panorama. It is one of the famous trekking destinations in western Nepal. At 1,951 meters, the Gurung village offers excellent opportunities to experience the unique and colorful culture of the Gurungs and breathtaking views of Annapurna, Machhapucchre and Dhaulagiri. Ghandruk is referred to as a living cultural monument in that it continues to showcase the unique culture of the Gurungs. Our hiking route turned out to be just that and a bit more. Waterfalls, river, mountain, Himalayas and jungle all seem very beautiful.

Our Hiking was a challenging one, as it is a 5 days trekking route. But we planned to shorten the hike by only trekking to Ghandruk from Nayapool. For this we had decided to depart from ktm on friday evening so that we can start hike on early in the next morning. As planned, we started our hike from Nayapool. After hiking for about half an hour we reached Birethaanti from where route is separated for Ghorepaani and Ghandruk. Planning Ghorepaani for next hike we moved towards Ghandruk. Hiking by the side of gurgling Modi River was very pleasant part of the hike. The sound of the soothing relaxing river was a truly remarkable relaxing experience. Exploring well preserved culture was fascinating. We met plenty of tourist most of them were Korean. After a tiring walk through the steep hills, we stopped at the hut to take some rest. As we were listening to the songs, we encountered a Korean girl. We played the Korean song as well as its copied version in Hindi and she was surprised. Each and every part of hiking trail was enjoyable and full of adventure, there was always something interesting to see on next destination. Each and every house was ready to serve you as a guest with great hospitality. Waterfalls, white water of Modi, paved hiking trekking trail, smiling tourist and beautiful house-cum-guesthouse with slate stone roof on the way were very much pleasing. All the houses were constructed in such a way that it resists the extreme cold. After all day walk, finally we got to relax at the lodge where we had camp fire at night along with singing and gossiping. Since there is no roadway, the means of transportation is through mules. So the goods seem to be more costly than that on the base.

The next morning we made our way back off the hilltop and headed back through an easy walk downhill. There are enough waterfalls, interesting rock formations and hills worth climbing to fill two days of exploring. We couldn’t resist ourself to go to the Modi River to capture beautiful moments. The gentle touch of ice-cold water of Modi River worked like a pain reliever for us which took all our tiredness away.

As Pokhara was on our way we couldn’t just pass by it because all of us had strong desire to go there although we had limited time of 3 hours. This was Geetika’s first visit to Pokhara so she was most excited to explore one of the scenic beauties of Nepal. Thakali ko khana was what all wanted. After having lunch we headed towards to Fewa Lake. The boating at the lake was our favorite part of the journey. The lake surrounding by the hills, those flying birds rejuvenated our spirit. It was so much fun being on the boat and being hit by the cool breeze and watching people sailing. Sleeping fearlessly on the tips of the boat, splashing water to one another was really a fun.

“Study nature, not books” you will surely be the poet

Befriending the mountains is a wonder
you feel like a child
walkin around with your mother

no one can hurt you then,
no pain can you not endure,
the vastness and the beauty
all does its magic

i made friends with them
and felt my heart grow
i walked around with them for a while
and witnessed my soul smile

The White Giants blushed red
From the touch of the morning Rays
Like the cheeks of a Sherpa girl
Smiling with youthful perseverance
Our world is sleeping somewhere
But had it been awake,

It wouldn’t have been lucky enough
As we were,
To feel this emotion
So rare
That nature has been
Exhibiting silently – shyly

  15. Lessons of the Great Depression
    Written by Conrad
    Wednesday, 03 December 2008

    The best way to get a mental grasp about the current financial crisis is to look at a few past recessions and depressions. The most famous being the great depression of the 1930s but equally interesting is a much smaller recession that happened in England following the invention of the spinning jenny.

    James Hargraves invented the spinning jenny in 1764. It could spin yarn eight times faster with the same amount of labour. The initial economic impact was that the price of yarn dropped and many yarn spinners lost their jobs. Violent riots ensued, many of the new machines were smashed and Mr Hargraves was forced to flee for his life.

    Eventually the demand for yarn grew and because textiles were now significantly cheaper people started to consume more. Wild radical consumerist ideas such as changing your underwear weekly started. A regular change of clothes became possible for the common man. The industrial textile industry of the late 18th century was the fastest growing seg

    Eventually the demand for yarn grew and because textiles were now significantly cheaper people started to consume more. Wild radical consumerist ideas such as changing your underwear weekly started. A regular change of clothes became possible for the common man. The industrial textile industry of the late 18th century was the fastest growing segment of the economy and was one of the driving forces that lead the UK into the industrial revolution.

    What technology does is increase the efficiency with which we can produce more goods and services. If we do not consume more, we have a surplus of labour and people lose their jobs.

    The same pattern repeated itself in the early 20th century. There were more new technological inventions in the late 19th and early 20th century than ever before. Combustion engine, production lines, transatlantic flights, radio and many others increased productivity. The biggest increase in output as a result of technological efficiency was the automobile sector where output of automobiles increased ten fold. Tractors and mechanization of farms increased the efficiency of food production.. Between 1923 and 1930 output per labourer increased 25%. However take home pay only increased by 8%.

    The first person to predict the coming of the depression in the thirties was Henry Ford. He pointed out that even though technology now enabled factories to produce so much more, the average person could not afford to buy all the goods being manufactured.

    In 1933 when throwing his support behind the industrial recover act Henry Ford stated ”The factories are not stopped for the lack of money, but the lack of orders. Money loaned at the top means nothing. Money spent at the bottom starts everything.” (1)

    Eventually the world economies got out of their financial crisis because people started to consume more. Initially it was in the form of a wartime economy. More bombs, tanks, planes were produced, but after the war a new consumerist culture emerged.

    The National Industrial Recovery Act instituted by President Roosevelt empowered consumers by ensuring a minimum wage, preventing labour exploitation and actively providing employment in government funded construction projects. Corporations that recognized the power of marketing constantly encouraged new forms of consumption.

    For the next 70 years consumption kept up with the ability of technological efficiency to produce more and more stuff.

    The relationship between technological efficiency and consumption continued into the 1990s when the economy started to slow down again. In an attempt to reinvigorate the economy large amounts of money were loaned to consumers in an attempt to get them to purchase more. This strategy did not work and 10 years later culminated in the sub prime mortgage crisis. (2).

    Today the average worker is approximately 400% more efficient than a worker in the 1950s. In just eleven hours a worker can produce the same amount of goods and services as someone working 40 hours in the 1950s. It also means that 400% more stuff as to be consumed or people will loose their jobs.

    The present economic problem is two fold.

    Firstly, once adjusted for inflation, wages in North America have barely kept up with inflation. In a global context the situation is much more serious. When jobs are exported to third world countries with minimum labour standards, it creates a labour force that can’t afford to buy all the goods and services being produced. This is a virtual identical repeat of the problem that caused the great depression.

    Secondly, what we have been consuming is the planet itself. According the UN millennium report 60% of the worlds ecosystems are in substantial decline. According to a study done by Dalhousie University the worlds stock of large fish has decreased by 90%. Even the USA intelligence agency is warning that we will be facing series water shortages by 2025. What got us out of previous depressions and recessions is that people started to consumed more. If current surplus production capacity is balanced with increased consumption our ecological footprint will increase faster than it has ever done before.(3) World leaders are frantically trying to find new ways for consumers to return to their dutiful roles of spending more and more. If they succeed we are going to have a much bigger problem to deal with.

    So what is the solution?

    One potential solution that was implemented in 1933 by President Roosevelt during the great depression is to reduce the workweek from ten hours a day to eight hours a day. Instead of having a high unemployment rate, the work is shared so that more people can become employed.

    Technological efficiency gives us a choice; we can either continue to work just as hard and exponentially consume and grow the economy, or we can translate those gains in efficiency into other more meaningful activities such as child rearing, education, arts and holding elected leaders accountable. It is not surprising to learn that countries that do have lower workweeks such as Norway, Holland and Germany are more egalitarian and have lower crime rates. This might be coincidental, but I suspect that when people have time to invest in other types of work besides trying to endlessly fill up landfills with junk, we create the opportunity for a healthier and wiser society.

    In 1933 we changed from a 10 hour day to a 8 hour day. Maybe its now time to change to a 6 hour day.

    Notes:

    1) When throwing his support behind the National Industrial Recover act

    of 1933, Ford Declared: We’ve got to stop that gouging process if we want to see all of the people reasonably prosperous. There is only one rule for industrialists and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost paying the highest wages possible. Nothing can be right in this country until wages are right. The

    life of business comes forth from the people in orders. The factories are not stopped for the lack of money, but the lack of orders. Money loaned at the top means nothing. Money spent at the bottom starts everything.”

    Mass Production, the Stock Market Crash, and the Great Depression by Bernard C. Beaudreau page 113

    2) Today many politicians are blaming the financial crisis on the sub prime mortgage failure. It is interesting to note from the time the stock market collapsed in 1929 it took over 4 years before the USA congress was willing to acknowledge that the depression was not a consequence of the stock market failures but rather a consequence fundamentals flaws in the economy itself.

    3) It will increase faster than ever before because we are more industrially efficient than ever before.

  16. Liked pic 75 a lot: “White ice cream with cherry at the top”
    It can fairly reveal the actual beauty of Nepal.
    I was unlucky not to get included in the hiking team despite responding just 2 mins after the invitation mail (DHAADALI)…
    I hope this hiking route is repeated when Rudra dai arrives.
    Better luck sudip for next time to Ghandruk!!!

  17. Pictures? It is fair to believe it is still one of the best hiking pictures in EU (at least) so far taken by fantastic D2 photographer. But now when I look at the comments, i feel sorry to say that these comments (or rather artificial) are written just for the sake of dolar. Come on guys, be tru to yourself and don’t compromise in this filthy “war” for the sake of dolar. This is degrading your morale.

  18. Cool guys, so the war is going on in the full blow…..keep it up. Yes, the content and pics in this post is mind blowing in comparison with of competitors.

  38. In ghandruk, the ppl there have no effect of load shedding, you might be wondering how the hell did electricity reach there. But they have a small hydropower setup, and is nearly sufficient for them. The trekkers wont have to face load shedding even in such a remote place where at least I didn’t expect. But we didn’t have time to visit the hydropower there.
    Doesn’t that sound great??

  39. To AWSIV

    Thanks AWSIV for the INFO. Have seen the same in sundarijal…

    To One of Hiker

    A video of it, would have added excitement to all those, who have not seen it functioning… its ok.
    If you all win the prize, and go to ghandruk again, make sure u capture some motion of it..hehe

  40. To Mr Sensible,
    I am sorry, we do not took any video clip of the “pani ghatta”. It certainly would have been great if we had taken one.

    I’ll repeat the words again, “until we get enlightment on self, it is useless to explain the meaning of enlightment. What we try to define is based on books that we’ve read and from some philosopher’s discourses that we’ve listened to and some on personal logics. “

    so better not explain it ….

  43. thanks Viswa for re-refreshing the quote… i’vent yet started smoking but i thought that was the reason… 😀

    @Shangharsha got enlightment:
    🙄 sorry dude but i forgot about the bus (beside our microbus) – of course certainly with headlight on as it was already dark.
    could you help me recall that moment please…

  44. la keshav dai yo hiking le best hiking award payo vane hami feri Ghandruk janu parcha hai ani yahi group ni feri……………. excluding all those HikingPeeditUnion ni!!!!

  45. How can we forget that Shangharsha got enlightment when he turned back for continuing debate and suddenly a bus was beside our micro (certainly with headlight on) 😆

  46. THANKS TO “CheersToMrSensible”….I will try continuing my observations….

    My query to
    “To all people who think this hiking is about groupism!!”

    According to your stats there are good no. of drinkers (8) in the hiking group. But picture no. 17 is advocating that your stats are fake. I could not believe that you meant “COLD DRINK drinkers”.

    महिला मित्र हरु को उपस्थिती ले गर्दा सभ्यता झल्केको पनि हुन सक्छ तर,,जे भये पनि, कहिले काही त चिसो COKE ले पनि ट्रिप दिछ, हैन र? हे हे हे ,,,

    ———————————————————
    And something about pic 24: Do we have some video clips of this Pani Ghatta. It would be great…

  47. “The more we know, the more we know about how less we know” 🙂 daami sangharsha dai

    ani ask the hikers about how to leave smoking 😉

  48. aru ko pachhadi khada nabhayera ,wife ko pachhadi khada hunu nai thulo kura ho … 😛 for a husband……….. 😀

  49. Some information on pic 24:
    This is an ancient technology for grinding maize, rice, millet etc. This is still in use in many remote places of Nepal. It is called “Pani Ghatta”. The technology make use of energy from flowing water like in turbine. We found the owner of that “Pani Ghatta” sitting nearby basking in sun, and asked about grinding cost. He told i take “a pathi from a muri” meaning 1/20th of the grinded material.

    Good job, carry on with your sensibility…

  51. Reply to Awsiv, Bhanu, Keshav:
    Remember… the discussion was still ON while we were in the van.. & how Keshu Baba explained the shifting platform of “Logic”… and Ravi explained the meaning of Enlightenment…
    it was fun…
    the most interesting part of the trip was the discussion on “One Question” while we sat around the fire (17 Camp fire at ghandruk top)…
    thanks to all of the walkers & talkers… specially Keshu, Dhilung, the three ladies (for finally speaking out), Ravi, Suyesh, Bhanu, Kapil (for photography) and everyone whom i’ve missed..

    By that time ‘tiger flu’ or some other disease might have been evolved related to tiger and you would be in the side of chicken, as you are in the side of tiger now. 😆 😆

  59. Kas! ‘Boiler Baagh’ ahile vaidiyeko vaye ‘Bird flu’ ko tension hudai na thiyo hola. I am still with ‘Boiler Baagh’ .

    Thanks Awsiv for recalling memory. It was wonderful discussion.

  60. Thanks bishwa,

    its because of peoples like you that there are divisions within a single country like madhesi and paahadi….and its because of peoples like you that there are myriad groups in D2 as well….the groupism is flourishing in D2…someone should try to end this…..not to encourage this type of groupism…..the hiking pictures are really beautiful…i must appreciate this…and its also true that the hike will be more intresting if there are close groups together….but i must reckon the fact that our netajis are doing the same…..

    IF WE CANNOT STOP GROUPISM IN SUCH A SMALL PLACE LIKE D2 THEN WE CAN”T EVEN DREAM OF ELIMINATING GROUPISM IN A WHOLE COUNTRY……PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND…..

    P.S. I have no problems with groupism…just a thought…

  89. Can anybody explain why the hiking list consist the names of the people who were actually not joining the hike. Just like Pradhyumna Kumar Shrestha’s name was included in list, while in fact he was not even interested for it. Why his name was included? … I just want to say that plz leave some quotas for those who reply to hiking mail. Lets just not send the hiking mail for formality.

  90. Good Job “To all people who think this hiking is about groupism”. kasaiko himmat chha yo kura ko pratikaar garnne???

  98. Bro tesari Sadisuda manchhelai my girl vanne??? Ke bo bro ko chal ta thik chhai na ni!!! Arkako chhada chhadai ko ghar bhadne??

  99. Dear nature lover, 68 was shot by Kesav bro! 🙂

    Ya that is definitely the best capture! gives the real feel of how close the mountains we felt in front of us. They were so close as if they gona fall upon us.

  100. tyo boatin ta hami relax garna gako ho lake ma.ghangruk hiking bata thakera fresh vayera hami voli palta office aako hoina???

  103. Pokhara ko boating bina ta hamro hike suna suna nai hunthyo ni. Specially boat ma suteko ani boat chalayeko ta kahilai nabirsane moments ho ni.

  104. 11,72,21,22 are the best photographs….I give 10/10 to 68….I guess this was by Dhilung….great bro…

  105. KeshavB\’s good management made the hiking more than masti, hikers get a chance for boating at last moment which does a lot to overall hiking…

  107. I think you are suffering from colorblindness. Plz consult the doctor ASAP.

  108. I am jhan greater fan of girl with Red Tshirt than YourFan so do not listen to him
    Listen to me
    please give me ur mailing adreess

  109. This is not the hike organized by D2, it is the hike of opsys with all of their team member.

  110. Yeah now i found who the red t-shirt is. I must have seen her in the Korean movie earlier as well.

  111. I strictly agree with u. Please collect the proper information Yourfan before being a fan.

  112. k bidhi ris gareko ho yo HikingPeeditUnion le???eklai eklai pani hiking gainchara!!!!sabai group mai ta janchan ni.timiharu eklai jana khojdo rahechau ta jahile pani excluded hudorahechau ta hiking list bata.

  113. Dear Red Level,

    “Journey is a book and who does not travel read only a page” and Ms. Agashi was just another page to me, this is how I see the thing.

    You are not seeing the right thing there, see happy face of Agashi so I think I am not Budeshkal, if I was, she would not feel pleasure standing closely with me, my dee!

    The most beautiful outcome of this hiking has especial teachings.

    A whole day work,

    Whole night travel without proper sleep (may be some breaking naps),

    And almost whole day challenging walks even without a substantial lunch,

    Was an unfolding truth that if people wanted they can do amazing things!

    And no complaints and no demands!

    It was the example of Individuality in Equality and Equality in Individuality-Doing is beginning –let us do it.

    Moreover, please no hard-feelings, who could not be with us for this time, it is just the matter of time, when time permits us we can go for Khasa and Ghanduk even beyond that.

    If, we set same mind for same directions, that will lead us toward an aspiration.

    Nonetheless, Budeshkal means who cannot follow day to day activities with regularity- and I was able to follow the activities with demanding pace- see I am not Budeshkal yet may be in due course!

    And also my right hand was holding a Darho Lauro too!
    Cheers as always!

  115. Bravo – Hiking Team, After 8 hrs sleepless night journey, Everyone saw so cool & Fresh. This was impossible with out Team Spirit.

    This was the best Team & The Best hiking.

  116. Many many thanks to Keshav dai for co-ordinating the hike.
    It was superb and adventerous hike. Great team and spontaneous route.
    🙂

  117. Seems like you guys are enjoying the nature..Ghandruk is really a peaceful place ..I had been there once when I was in my +2…thanks for recalling my memories back.

  118. Great pics, must have been a photographer’s heaven.
    Ghandruk, I will there someday soon. 😉

    PIC 58 Is that bearded vulture? –>Great capture.

  119. wow! hikers are same as me.. difference between them is only they carry less than me… i am more lucky coz i have this hike many times…. 😛

  120. The process to be the member of HikingPeeditUnion are as follows:
    1) Don’t send your names in 1 day hike. :mrgreen:
    2) Write pointless “eye-catching” comments so that you get noticed. 😡
    3) You should not be close to any group, natra name aai halthyo ni 🙂 i.e you should be “ekalkate”!!

  121. ha ah aha a… even blind man can co-oridinate the hike? 💡 …. 😀 😀 😆 , see back of him..who are the team members…himself standing with help of stick… 😆 😆

  122. All of you hiking peedits can have gone to ‘Hiking in Lele” organized in Feb 1 2009. There were ample seats. Khali aru ko hiking ko barema jealous bhayera k hunchha ra???
    Payeko ma najane ramailo ma matrai aankha laune???
    Jealousy ali badi bhayena ra??

  123. Rumour says same coordinator is planning for Muktinath hike
    and we hope next hike will not repeat Ghandruk
    so there should be some name from HikingPeeditUnion
    Lets join this union so that we will make our voice much more strong and each hike should include member from this union

  124. hiking is always groupism .. see the mail of lele hike .
    kura na milne manchhe lai lagera ke kaam ..
    ali kura milne milne sanga po jane ta .. feri aru lai lagyo bichho bato mai hinna sakdina vanla ..
    bekkar ma ako vannn la .. ali kich kich hunchha kya ..
    so groupism ta hunai parcha hiking ma …

  125. If the hike was run by taking single person from each group then how would this hike be so interesting. Every person would have been in his own and no one would have enjoyed the hike. We should have to form groups to enjoy the hike. Groups are better than a single person.

  126. I absolutely agree with HikingPeeditUnion and want to be the member of this union
    What is the process 😀

  127. This hike was great example of groupism and politics
    See the name of hikers list in mail and see participant some name which was not in list gone for Hike….
    Groupism murdabaad politics murdabaad single team hiking murdabaad

  128. One of the hiker,
    Testo ramailo hiking chahi aafu matrai jane ki kyaho? Hami janu paidaina….? 👿 👿

  129. For Pic 67…
    I absolutely agree to the sentence.. The caption should have been different than this. 🙁

  130. I am honored to get chance to coordinate another similar hiking. Thank you Rudra Dai. I am thankful to friends, who make this hiking one of its kinds by participating and giving us good wises who miss out. Thank you all.

  132. Well,

    Just Incredible, wonderful, marvelous, Awesome! I must say this hiking best pictures the real beauty of Nepal. It reminds me of those days when we were trekking at night through banthanti and nayathanti on the way to Ghorepani.

    Pic 66 and 77 of Hiunchuli to the right and Annapurna South is just great. One day i just hope to trek the line connecting the two.

  133. Awesome pictures!!! Everyone wants to go to Ghandruk at least once now …..for sure 🙂
    Some of the portrait obsession are breathtaking!!! good job, photographer!!!

  134. There is one foto missin’ of a girl in front of the fire. The warmth of the burnin’ coal bein’ reflected on her face.

  135. tanha dil tanha afar….. loved it (38)…………..
    n yeee u r a devil…. deep down inside(42)
    n we really needed tht….. something famous …after india stole \”the birth place of buddha\” from us…… (61)

  136. I had already seen most of these photographs in facebook, but I could not stop myself from writing a comment here too.
    All the photographs are awesome. My most favorites are: 2,5,7,16,21-27, 46,48,60,85 and 98.
    I wish I was still there and I could go to such beautiful places too.. …

  137. thank u keshav dai for organizing this hiking. we enjoyed very much hoina ta?n i neva forget this 1st hiking of my life. thankx

  138. yo ta purai groupism vayo hai ..

  139. Vishnu dai, ke yo umer ma keti lai samatnu bhayeko hola!, pakai pani adesh ko lagi hola 💡 , tyo bhanda ramro baru majbut lauro lai samatnu ni… 😀

  140. Great hiking…seems like every group members enjoyed this hike to th fullest….see all the pictures…how everyone is smiling…….i also agree that there is groupism everywhere….even in hikings like this…but this hiking would not have been so exciting if even a member of this hike was no there…..great hiking …….for those who were left out….cry shout \”GROUPISM\” i bet no one will listen to you……..

  141. No. 74::: Dum maro Dum……….. Mit Jaye Gum…………..Bolo Subhs Sam………Hare Krisna Hare Ram………!!!!
