Tangible Contact with Nature

"Birds singing on the banks of the narrow streams, trees smell, branches creaking, insects humming, feet shuffling through needle-like road, animal scents, earthy smell..."

Tangible contact with nature: it is not about fabricating proficiency, it is all about courage, patience, challenge and enigma.

Experiencing wild nature is powerful incentive for me to learn new things now. Being alone in the profound forest, being all alone at the edge of the mountain can set us off on the path that changes the way we think ourselves, our purpose in life, and the way we live our lives.

Nature brought me into direct contact with the elements-earth, air, water, and water. It unclothes the means we have developed to protect ourselves from their impact. It ameliorates my strength, confidence and self-determination.

Hiking the mountains has become favorite thing for me now. I solely hike alone and I like it the most. Its an opportunity to know the nature in a good way. At the same time, I love to make memories with the nature and the memories with nature are like now spurs of the moment.

With an increased urbanization, the difference between our lifestyle and those of our evolutionary past is now a distant apart. Humans now, are busy in materialistic world and they have no time for nature. Unlike my ordinary life, I can't afford big expenses holidays. So, I escape from bustle of the city and go away to the quiet of the country most of my weekend.

Hiking, a walk in the mountains or woods frees my mind and its an evidence that nature actually soothes the savage beast.

Forest bathing has improved my physical health through

-spending time in the fresh air increases energy levels

-regular opportunities for physical exercises

-relaxing nervous system by being in calm, natural environment

-increasing stamina and fitness.

So, to sum it up, it has longitudinal benefits on us.

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...
