Out of Doors



To walk in the woods is to celebrate our evolutionary heritages as they stimulate our thinking. They deepen our understanding and we should appreciate them for that. Moreover, walk in the woods plays a significant role as it encapsulates our struggles that one need to go through in order to better themselves.





Spending time in the woods isn't just pleasant, it is significantly restorative.








If you back in history, then you would understand how important is walking!? Our forefathers used to walk for days to get basic needs. They used to walk for days to get education. They used to walk for days carrying sick people to the health post. Now, freedom from walking has been craved. Only few unfortunate ones are forced to walk.

The history of walking is now paradox. It is so called an integral to human development. The walking habit is ceased abruptly. Walking is an analog in this digital world. However, it is more profound too. People choose to walk instead of ride. 







Last month I was asked by a friend; how are Tinpane Bhanjyang and Dochoki? To answer this question, I hiked all alone to the Tinpane Bhanjyang, the last southern mountain seen from my house. It is just, very far away from my house.
There are many ways to go there. But I chosed to go from the places where people are less walk by. With no expectation, I started walking from western side of my place, crossed Nakhhu river and took long narrow path with full of bushes on both sides, finally reached Tika Bhairav through Champi Village.







Now, with full of rejoice, my real hiking started to the mountains of wilderness. I took the Tika Bhairav-Tinpane Bhanjyang-Lok Nath Highway. Keeping insecurity aside, I entered the woods and with no surprise, birds welcomed my hike. They were singing for someone who was walking alone in the wilderness. Saying hey birdy, you are too cute, I was quickening my footsteps as I have to come back home again. In the middle of nowhere in the mountain, I wondered so much that 'Home' is so powerful word.  You know, home is something like little universe for living beings. Greedy humans, in the name of development and to satisfy our greeds, we are destroying the home of others.








The sun was shining brightly and the clouds were hovering over me and the mountains. My walk continued through the zig zag ways of the mountains. I didn't notice that how many mountains did I cross!? I just kept on walking to my destination noticing calm breeze coming from the mountains. The open air braced my body and mind as I felt so much exhausted and got headache. I thought of returning back from the middle of the woods.  But my mind was at liberty and sent me to my destination.





I got calm and energy again after taking a bottle of water and an apple. Along the way, I observed the nature, heard the chirpings of the birds and relished the sound of the trees. Wondered! How could I pronounce the sound of the trees!? After all, I felt the nature and captured the moments in photos and videos.
In a miraculous way, my hike ended up on the top and edge of the mountain, Tinpane Bhanjyang. Unbelievable, I came so far by walking here and I found myself resting at the edge of the mountain. Everything was healthy and calm here. I enjoyed the 360 degree views of lush and took gallons of fresh air and thanked those mountains for everything. They just made my day. It would be useless hike if I didn't admire the beauty and quintessence of those mountains. They really inspired me so much in many ways.



After spending few minutes at the edge of the mountain, I turned back and started my journey all over again. June 15, 2019, the day, I should remember for the rest of my life.

Latarambeshwor Mahadev Hike

With  such grand displays as Nature is making here, how grand are her reservations, bestowed only upon those who devotedly seek them! Beneath the wild and lush mountains, the bucolic village is glowing with its folklore ID and sculpturing the mountains with desolate wilderness, how many shy wild creatures are at home beneath the grateful lights and shadows of the woods, rejoicing in their fullness of perfect life! Yes, we are talking about Latarambeshwor Mahadev, located at Makawanpur district, neighboring district of Kathmandu valley which has become exclusive hiking destination among outdoor enthusiasts these days. On 17th June, 2022, friend and I successfully made it to the Latarambeshwor after a few days of preparation. As always, it all started with a phone call. Around 11 0' clock, my friend, Nirpesh made phone call to me and said that "Lets do it today, Latarambeshwor Hike!". And I said:"Its already 11:00 AM and we couldn't make it." He said again:...

रारा राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जको जीवन्त यात्रा: स्वच्छन्दताको खोजीमा

प्रसङ्ग नेपालको! नेपाल—एक अद्भुत, अनन्त बगैंचा—जसको अन्त्य न समयले पाउँछ, न यात्रुको पाइला थाक्छ। यति विशाल, यति रहस्यमयी, कि आदि कालखण्डका यात्रुहरूले पनि यसको सम्पूर्ण सौन्दर्य देख्न सक्दैनन्। प्रत्येक मोडमा, प्रत्येक कुना-कन्दरामा, प्रकृतिले आफ्नो चमत्कारहरू सजाएकाे छ। यस्तै एक स्वर्गीय सौन्दर्य हो—रारा ताल। निलो आकाशले निहारिरहेको, पहाडले अंकमाल गरेको, र मनले कहिल्यै बिर्सन नसक्ने विशाल जलकुन्ड, जसले आत्मालाई बोलाउँछ—शान्तिको गहिराइमा डुब्न। हरेक वर्ष म एउटा वा दुइटा ट्रेकिङ गर्छु। हाइकिङ भने महीनामा दुई ओटा गर्छु। नेपालको सौन्दर्यलाई साँच्चै कदर गर्ने हो भने, पैदल यात्रा नै उत्तम माध्यम हो। त्यो अनुभव यति गहिरो हुन्छ कि शब्दले बयान गर्न कठिन पर्छ। तर २०८१ साललाई विदाई गर्न यो पटक पैदल यात्रा होइन, A Road Trip to Rara National Park को योजना बन्यो। आखिर, सबै कुरा अनुभव नै त हो—हरेक यात्रा, हरेक मोड केही न केही सिकाइ लिएर आउँछ। रारा ताल जति स्वर्गीय छ, त्यहाँ पुग्न भने त्यति सहज छैन। यात्राको चौथो दिनमा मात्र हामीले त्यो अनुपम सौन्दर्य आफ्नै आँखाले अवलोकन गर्ने सौभाग्य प्राप्त गर्‍यौ...

Rolwaling Valley Trek

Aspiring climbers, seeking adventures and opportunities to test their strength and skill, attempt to penetrate the Himalayan wilderness and push their limits to reach the summits. However, the grandest excursion of all to be made hereabouts is to the heart of the Himalayas, covered with icy crowns. Those towering peaks laden with glaciers that are terribly roughened and interrupted by crevasses and ice cliffs are very high, which render comparisons with our own height meaningless. Only good climbers should attempt to gain the summit, led by a sherpa of proven nerve and endurance. Well-established mountain, forest, and river trails wind down the mighty Tamakoshi River to the place where our trek was for, Rolwaling Valley. © Bikesh Deshar Rolwaling, a remote mountain valley at an altitude of 4000 meters, lies northeast of Kathmandu, near the Tibetan border and to the west of the Khumbu region.  The Rolwaling Valley in the Gaurisankar Conservation Area stands as a tribute to the maje...
