 It's not far away, it's not far at all The mountainsides we dreamt of-- A kind of invitation, so pure and divine. For fate was on our side Together we walk as one On the beckoning mountains Filled with lush full of green love. We feel the warmth of the foothills As we want to climb the lap of the beloved mother We free our head, so calm and quiet Under the sacred fig tree, shaded and dusky With all honesty, we take a deep breath, in and out. Far from home, we walk on the wild side With careful heart to ease our mind. Along the long and winding roads, We hear the birds singing On the mossy banks of a wandering stream, rippling even burbling. And see wildflowers appealing butterflies, lively and vibrant. As we dive into the forest, where colors came to life We come to comprehend mindfully that Time is all we have and the life is now. With fire in our bones, we sit on the top of an ancient mountain, From where the valley seems lost with the cloud of its own. We feel at home in th...

Some people walk on their own because they feel within themselves. After hiking every month for a year 2076 B.S. (2019-20 A.D.), twice in a month, sometimes thrice in a month, I did enwind my solo hike with "Pathivara Hike". With traveler at heart, I lived the moments in the wild exploring my solitude with endless possibilities. Sometimes hiking is not just about to aid the physique, however, it supercharges our grey matter too. With an unvarnished act of exploring, we can easily boost our brainpowers.  In all honesty, I recruit new skills on every hike, for instance, keeping a pace, building up a strength, map reading, managing time, building a range of motion and so on. After all as a photography enthusiast, I manage to have a great eye sight.  Now moving on with "Pathivara Hike", that I named it after 'Pathivara Temple' which is situated on the foothills of Dolchoki. It was one of my full blooded hikes because I had not walked li...

Despite the fear which I had on my mind, I came out from my comfort zone and took one of the longest road trips to the far western Nepal. Far western Nepal is yet one of the untouched, unexplored and and unspoiled regions of Nepal. I was one of the fortune travelers to make pure contact with it. It has oodles natural habitats such as national parks, river, lakes, protected areas where one could have best time of all.                       The traveling plan was made all of a sudden. On 31st December, 2019, I packed my backpacks with an essential things and left Kathmandu, the biggest city across Himalayas on a midnight tour bus. It was chilling cold night and I was wondering to myself that how would I spend rest of the time on a night bus for 20 hrs. After passing winding road of Naubise and perilous road of Muglin, I had a light dinner at Rampur with the rest of the passengers. After that, we headed for Chitwan. I was awake an...

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...

Wish I Had a Winter Coat 1. Seasons pass in a blink of God's eye. An autumn had arrived; for when winter has nighed. What I feel is only blue black cold! Wish I had a winter coat. 5. I look out from the broken window. The mountains---I've dreamed of concealing under the snow. As the blizzard rages, The cracked heart aches. 9. If the night could hear, I would tell a story or two. Of a day that has been through hues of blue. When we don't know for what to prepare. If we are on an uncertain time of the year. 13. In such an emptiness, I lie under the starlit sky. For as long as space exists, soothing stars pass by. And I wish If I had a winter coat tonight. I would feel the warmth of it inside. 17. A new day dawns, the sun will rise. Through the clouds, the sun will shine. A cold wind blows, rest assured. Earnestly searching-----mile after mile-----the lost hope----- is heard. 21. Wish I had a winter coat, the joy of having it, would be immeasurable....

I Am Not The Only Traveler I am not the only traveler, Who gets lost in a world brimful of sights unseen. I search for the winding path anew To see the world unfold. I am not the only traveler, Who sees the world this way. There is a place--- Where I bring my mind into the state of calm. I am not the only traveler, Who wanders in the kingdom of great unknown. I make my way on my own two feet to a place, Where I release my mind from its grasping. I am not the only traveler, Who leaves home for the open air. I follow my young heart to a place, Where I loosen up my mind into the true nature of mind. I am not the only traveler, Who brings the scattered mind mind back home. Then, I realize, how much I enjoyed being present at there With a good heart and forever will be.

"A Walk In The Woods" Through the Jungle Through the Dark I walk far away from the World, A hostile Society To the place Where I free my Mind. Where I am healed with the Tonic of Wilderness.. I feel I may never have Enough. What a profound Feeling of Beauty As I Bow before the Trees I embrace their protective Bark As if it’s going to be my Last. I stand with Nature, Almighty, Mysterious, Endlessly Wild And I am Free in my Recluse Exploring My Solitude With Endless Possibilities.
