We reach to Daman around 11 and the real hike began. The final destination was Simbhanjyang around 5 km from Daman. The rain was slowing our pace, as we had to stop couple of times. No one except Lava had the power to challenge the rain and move inside the mist. It was cold and rain was making it much difficult to make our way to Simbhanjyang. Equally, it seems weather had no mercy on us and we were left with no option but to follow Lava. Due to the rain and low visibility, we didn’t get to enjoy much at Simbhanjyang. We all gathered at a small tea café and had cup of hot tea. Nevertheless, we all were surprised after getting one more “Pandey” who owns the café. After having small chat with Pandey, we all headed towards van and soon we were in Daman.
Hike
Hiking from Sankhu to Nagarkot
Finally, I could find myself free for the day which I was waiting for since I joined D2 and that is non-other than the HIKING DAY. As hiking and wandering around the untouched areas has been one of my charm
Hiking from Pharping to Matatirtha via Purundi
Upon reaching Hnuman Bhanjyang, we stopped by a small shop to refresh ourselves. “Fanta” never tasted so good. This place was the border between Makawanpur and Bagmati districts. After about 10 minutes of rest, the journey continued. Vishnu and Surendra seemed to get confused about the path we are supposed to go, so discussion in that topic was also fun. Now we were walking through the graveled road. Heat, dust and difficult road, all were challenging us but we were now used to it and were busy enjoying every bit of our walk. Kapil’s humorous gossips and “beeeeessssst…” brought smile on everyone’s face even in such circumstances.
Hiking from Lele to Shreedanda
Had you been sitting in a city restaurant last Sunday evening, you could have had the pleasure of seeing a group of tired, dusty, very hungry but very happy hikers.
Hiking from Hawaghar to Bageshwori
This was my first hike at D2 and second in my life so I was excited and on top of that the weather was also perfect. The reports and photographs of previous hikes had also encouraged me.
Hiking from Swayambhu to Nag Dhunga via Ramkot
A phone call broke my sleep. A friend called me to get ready for hike. I had little time to reach office so that forced me to leave bed. I woke up and hurried towards office.
Hiking from Lele to Godavari via Lamidanda
Beautiful pictures of mountains, silhouettes of pine trees, wild flowers, jolly children, hiking trails and happy hikers:
Looking these photographs of hiking in this blog, I guess most of us feel the urge to go hiking. But the love for cozy Sunday mornings in bed and busy schedules make us put off hiking plans for coming weeks.
Hiking from Jagati to Lubu via Lakuri Bhanjyang
Even though it was my first Sunday at D2, I joined the Hiking Team with the inspiration of Surendra and my own determination and excitement. Almost all the other hikers were unknown to me but I easily became closer to them.
Hiking from Dhulikhel to Dolalghat
Hiking from Dhulikhel to Dolalghat on September 2006. It is a premier adventure-cum- culture destination.
