Traveling to Kuri Village


When one travels, it’s an experience that they want to share with others. They want to tell a story of the things they have seen. Most people tell this story through photographs, videos or even travel blogs.

It’s not always bragging but it is about sharing the sheer beauty and magnanimity of our surroundings. One of the finest and self satisfying adventures of my life so far was “Traveling to Kuri Village”. This has brought extra joy in my life.







Picturesque hilly terrains and mountains are considered to be the ultimate adventure. From hiking hilly terrains to trekking snow covered peaks, Nepal is choke full of iconic outdoor adventures. At the same time, the thrills and excitements of these adventures are unparallel.







It was quite an experience to see those huge mountains up close. I love and adore mountains not to prove anything to anybody but to remind myself that how small and insignificant am I in the scheme of larger things. Whenever I have nowhere to go, mountains are my go to partner.






The desire to see those huge mountains was fulfilled after tripping the places which were completely destroyed by a 2015 earthquake. Those places are still under reconstruction. I felt very sad after seeing the villages of Sindhupalchok.






Keeping the thoughts on my mind along the Arniko Highway to Jiri Highway, I finally reached to Kuri Village. Kuri Village as many of us know, is situated at eastern hilly region of  Nepal in Dolakha district. Dolakha is 132 km from Kathmandu and 18 km off to Kuri Village from Charikot. Local vehicles do not reach to Kuri Village but on reserve it may reach to Kuri Village from where on 1hr hike is Kalinchok Temple, on top of the mountain, around 13000ft above the sea level. The temple on the top of 3842m from the sea level is exquisite to get lost. It is part of Gauri Sankar conservation Area from where Sun Koshi and Tama Koshi rivers are originated. Hiking or Trekking to Kuri village can be back breaking.







Mountains, sometimes, are not considered to be the source of serenity. They more often teach you more than anyone else. The perfidious curlings of hikes or treks, the fights for basic in life, the veer gratification of having fruits on the top of the mountain after walking straight up to the mountain, the mind blowing winds, the chirping of the birds, the steep dives of the valleys, the capricious moods of the clouds, the freshness of icy water like washing away all your sorrows. Everything has a message for you. Diving into that emptiness, you can completely find new you. That is why, little breaks are so important to move on.




















If you want to know yourself, then travel all alone. If it is hard to make, travel with your loved ones or close friends.

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...

Soloing Manaslu, The Beast

Manaslu, it's beauty and desolation with the blessings and dangers to test the endurance and skills of adventurous climbers; but far better than climbing the killer mountain of the world, is going around its warm, fertile base, enjoying it's bounties like a bee circling around a bank of flowers. The distance is about a hundred miles and so, and will take some of the time, we hear so much about- a week or two- but the benefits will compensate for any number of weeks. Perhaps the profession of doing good may be full, everybody should be kind at least to himself. Take a good course of water and air, and in the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you. Some have strange, morbid fears as soon as they find themselves with Nature, even in the kindest and wildest of her solitudes, like very sick children afraid of their mother—as if God were dead and the devil were king. Day 1. With the feeling of being into the wild nature for a while...

Set Free in The Wild

Set Free in The Wild 1. Each day seems so happy If we live our life full of wonder. And here I am with an urge To pack my backpacks and hit the bleary trails. Through patience which I built with time And lavishly grown inside my heart To be set free in the wild. 8. Nature is always an unerring cradle of inspiration. However, I was compelled and waited too long indoors. With an audacious call, I now breakdown the walls. Filtering my thoughts and emotions----- I put my boots on and shed my old skin too To walk away from the neonside of the asphalt jungle And just to be set free in the wild. 15. To know how it feels; "To be set free in the wild" I follow the sunlight as it falls on hills and meadows. I lie on the moors, gaze up the sky and say: Let my mind expand into its commodious, Let an infinite sky awake a sky inside my mind. I sit right by the river and mingle with its ceaseless flow. Moreover, I stand by the waterfall to purify my soul with its hea...
