Hiking from Ranipauwa to Sisneri
Vishnu, Nischal, Anupa, Abishesh, Manoj and myself were the team to enjoy the day together. At 7 am journey began from D2 office and we moved towards Balaju, where we bought some drinking water and few audio CDs to make our journey melodious. In the mean time, we picked up Nishchal at Balaju as well.
We crossed Osho Tapoban, through an unsullied weather and misty environment and stopped at the middle of way to take breakfast at 8:15 am. We took Chiura, Aloo and Khasi ko though mashu for an unusual repast and it was difficult for me to eat the mashu, nonetheless we had to take those in the hope that the place had to offer for best and that was not true. Soon after, we resumed our journey and reached at Ranipauwa from where we commenced our journey. Though we estimated, our tour would finish in one and half hrs, at the end it took four hrs in total to complete.
In the beginning, leeches troubled a lot even though they were very tiny in size, but enough to make us very conscious to make unable to walk freely. Those bloodsuckers were clever enough to enter inside our shoes also. Nishchal was wondering about why most of the leeches trying to attack him at most frequently. I thought it will mess up our journey but later on we did not had to worry about them as the magical nature differed from obvious one. We enjoyed walking through as well the place offered in variation as pine forest to mudded landscape, Rocky Mountains, and via small village.
Vishnu, Abishesh and Manoj were always ahead on walking but me, Nischal and Anupa were far behind them through entire hiking. In between, we played music out of the mobile of Anupa and Nishchal. The song "lakhau patak" by Nabin K Bhattarai had been played for lakhau patak, and that was exciting to walk with music in background. In addition, yes how can I forget the activeness for photography of Nishchal and Abishesh. They tried to capture every moment and wonderful scenery including group and single snaps. Two interesting incident were also there during the walk, Nishchal got sting of Sisnu and Anupa slipped at her feet twice. Nevertheless, the beautiful view and cool breeze at the top of the hill swept away all our pain. Sometime we thought that we were lost as invisibility occurred by the thick mist but we relieved when we reached at a small village at last. Since we all were tired and wised a rest with a cup of hot tea and light snacks. Our photographers once again made busy themselves for capturing the photos of village Children and Women. It’s already 12:30 pm by now so we descended our journey to reach Sisneri, at the main road of Kathmandu to Trishuli. And that was the toughest walk I felt and my feet were tottering.
As soon as we were moving down raining started and became heavy when we were reaching to Sisneri. Where we met our van and after a short riding, we arrived at “Falls and Rainbow Trout Restaurant” which is famous for the Rainbow Trout fish farming and fish recipes. This place we chose to take rest and have finest lunch. The locals have there their own ponds for fishery and they use to cook those fresh fishes as visitors desire.
We rested and ordered some beer and cold drinks along with very famous fish item. It was delicious though Anupa did not take a single piece because she fears fish bone. Abishesh has discovered a new recipe of cocktails called submarine and Nishchal tried that quickly. At 2 pm, we began with our lunch and that became tastier when Vishnu narrated some interesting stories of his life including two major accidents he met earlier.
At 5 pm, it was still raining though we had to live for Kathmandu as some of us were afraid of getting dark and at around six in the evening, we reached Balaju where Nischal got off. Avoiding terrible traffic jammed we finally managed to reach to D2hawkeye premises and time asked us for break up to our individual destinations.
By nature I am less talkative although I listened more and I enjoyed listening others talking and their stories silently. It was my first memorable hiking with D2 in spite of it made me exhausted but without a question, I enjoyed a lot.
