Mt.Lhotse

Mt. Lhotse is the 4th highest mountain in the world, it is long east-west crest is located immediately south of Mt. Everest, the summits of the two mountains are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000 meters. It is considered an independent mountain. It was first climbed by Mr. Ernst Reiss & Fritz Luchsinger of Switzerland on May 18, 1956 via West Face route. An impressive ring of three peaks makes up the Lhotse massif: Lhotse East or Middle 8,413m., Lhotse & Lhotse Shar 8400m. The South Face of Lhotse is one of the largest mountain faces in the world. We attempt to climb the normal route to the tallest peak of the Lhotse massif. Lhotse Base Camp is located beside the Khumbu Glacier, same as Everest Base Camp as well as closed to Island Peak (Imja Tse).

Mt. Lhotse ExpeditionThe section during the climb, which has been unanimously declared the most dangerous, is the Khumbu Icefall. The South Face though attempted many times was successful climbed only in 1984 by Czech expeditions. This beautiful massif also holds immense promise as it is little developed and offers fascinating opportunities. You can climb Lhotse either from Everest Base Camp and near by Chhukung. The trek we follow begins at Lukla (2850m) and the initial days of the trek pass through the legendary Sherpa country up the spectacular high valley of the Khumbu Region.

Manaslu Trekking

This is an isolated off the beaten track route into the most beautiful area with an unquestionably challenging journey through the spectacular tea houses. Trek around Manaslu over Larkya Pass is one of Nepal’s best kept secrets which offers unobstructed views of Manaslu and an incredible stunning panorama of the peaks on the Nepal–Tibet border, traverse through Hindu and Tibetan style villages along with ancient Buddhist monasteries, walk over glacial terrain and observe the dramatic landscapes, as Manaslu round trekking is a popular adventurous trek with a geographically fabulous and culturally fascinating, secluded and enriched topography for exploring the scenic beauty of the Himalayan region.

This quite wonderful trail circumnavigates an eye-catching Mount Manaslu (8,156m) – the eighth highest mountain in the world, which was officially opened to tourists for trekking purpose in 1991 only. It is naturally unspoiled trekking destination of Nepal with beautiful views of the Manaslu(8,156m), Himlachuli (7,893m), Shringi Himal (7,187m) and Ganesh Himal range.

From Soti Khola to Sama Gaon, is also popular for honey hunters of Nepal; From the village of Deng, we enter into Nubri valley, a religiously important typical Tibetan village with the rows of prayer wheels, flags and mani stone on the trial. With the hike through lush rhododendron and bamboo jungle, mountain view from this valley is just sensational. The trail makes its way to the barren yet mysterious rain shadow area of the villages Samdo and Sama Gaon to north of Manaslu and Himalchuli. Extra day at Sama Gaon is worth spending for an acclimatization day and visit for famous huge glacier Manaslu base camp and Birendra Lake. Then we escalate west and crossing the larkya La pass at 5100m is more exciting with the view of peaks such as Himlung Himal (7,126m), Choe Himal (6,820m), Gyaji Kung (7,030m), Kang Guna (6,981m), and Annapurna II (7,937m) to the west start to get tremendous. We descend linking the Budhi Gandaki with the Marsyangdi valley, from Bimtang the trail follows an ancient salt trading routes through alpine meadows, before joining the main Annapurna circuit trekking route and connecting to the bus ride at Dharapani. This region is the home to endangered animals and birds to have occasional chance to encounter with snow leopard, red pandas and blue sheep, Danphe, impeyan pheasant- Nepal’s colorful national bird, particularly in the northern reaches as Buddhist Tibetans strictly prohibit the killing of animals.

Gosaikunda

Gosaikunda ,thr name of the holy place which most of us have heard if not have visited is a site of Hindu Pilgrimage ,attracting domestic as well as the international travelers . It lies in the Langtang National park at the altitude of 4361 m from the sea level .During the period of august full moon ( janai Purnima ) ,thousands of pilgrims flock to this lake to take holy bath ,pray and worship the lord . It is said that the region constitutes more than hundreds of holy lakes.

The trek to Gosaikunda can be started either from Dhunche ,Syabrubesi or from Shivapuri National Park along with Helambu trekking Trails .It is about nine days tea house trek. The general route popular among Nepalese is from Sundarijal due to Its Flesibility in altitude variations suitable for elderly people. The route pffers to visit Shjivapuri National Park along the trail with the fascinating views  of Lngtang Lirung ,Langtang Range ,Ganesh Himal Range ,Dorje lakpa Mountain Range , Naya Kaanga ,Lang Sisha and many other peaks.

I was planning my trip from Helambu to Gosaikunda ,But lack of enough time made me start the journey from Dhunche via Lauribinayak and complete it in six days .At first I thought six days was sufficient for me to explore and fulfill my desire of enjoying the views of mountains and expeience trekking around Gosaikunda ,but later ,I came to know that my choice was not good for viewing the mountains rather was for quickly making the pilgrimage trip only. Further ,I had to suffer from from lack of sufficient waer supply along the trail and due to drastic variation of altitude ; its quite difficult to trek in region through the dhunche route.

Mustang

Mustang, a former Himalayan Kingdom, is considered a last bastion of Tibetan culture. An otherwise traditional camping trek which is now available via conveniently spaced guesthouses. A great option if looking for unique Tibetan culture together with beautiful landscapes.

Benefits of Trekking

Trekking in Nepal with http://www.startvisitnepal.blogspot.com
Find your new self, Discover a new way to physical and spiritual wellbeing.
When there were no means of travel people had to commute by walking. Now, with advancement in the modes of travel, we have forgotten travelling on foot. We have become tourists rather that travelers.
Trekking is a one of a kind experience in which the addiction to connect with nature and to stay fit is a lifetime legacy. I have experienced the goodness of trekking in its entirety that’s why I’ve been hooked to it since the last 30 years. I urge you to try it too. Some of the benefits it gives you are…
A fitter you
When you are trekking, you are out in nature and that is the best place to get free doses of vital ingredients for your body to function at its optimum. The abundance of pure air, full of oxygen, and the vitamin D from the sunlight are helpful for your lungs and bones.
More oxygenation of the blood benefits many metabolic activities and stronger bones mean problem-free joints. Trekking builds stamina and is beneficial to your cardio-respiratory system as it tones the heart muscle and improves lung function. It also tones your body and helps you stay on the slim side of the scale.
A lot of people think it’s foolish to explore on foot when transport is readily available. Just like your car, your body needs maintenance too: it has to be regularly serviced so that in times of emergency, it functions at its peak. Trekking on a regular basis helps keep your body in mint condition. It has the resilience to fight disease when you need it the most.
Chance to connect with yourself.
Trekking enables you to explore your hidden inner persona. You have all the time to yourself without any outside interference while you soak in the calm environment around you.
Trekking disciplines you and teaches you to live every moment of your life to the fullest you discover a new self, which was hidden and dulled by the routine chores of day to day existence.
Improved life skills
Trekking also teaches you time management, for, you have to plan your route and arrival time with precision so that you may have adequate rest and then continue your journey the next day. this skill is useful in your routine work as well it helps you manage your workload efficiently so that you need not fate time constraints and have enough time to complete all tasks well.
A trek sharpens your reflexes and response and boosts your self-confidence, which helps you overcome the obstacles and difficulties encountered in daily life. Perhaps that is why our ancestors went on pilgrimages to far off places.
Even today many people go undertake pilgrimages on foot. They climb mountains and cover vast distances and although they face hardships on the way they return rejuvenated.
Memories for a lifetime.
Trekking also gives you a chance to experience first-hand the enviable vistas that you otherwise see only on TV. The views and sceneries are so beautiful that they are incomparable to the visual experience we ‘imagine’ in front of the television. Camping out at night in the mountains, I often watch the dark blue-black sky studded with millions of stars, wondering about galaxies and constellations. The feeling is out of this world.
The pictures you click make for great memories to revive with your family and friends. Whenever I see picture or my trek, I feel enthused to relive similar experiences again. And off I go on another trek- it’s addictive.
The joy of travelling and many experiences touch your heart. It is good for your body and even better for your soul. Every time you go on a trek, you return a better and a more confident person.
Trekking tips
Anyone can trek at any age. If you are a beginner, start off with a one- day hiking in nature on flat terrain. Once you get a hang of it, graduate to taking extended treks for a couple of days to a week.
For a trek all you need is a haversack, one time meal, water, a first-aid kit, a hat and a passionate zeal to complete the trek. Off course, when trekking in the mountains you need a raincoat a sweater and a wind-cheater too.
If done the right way, a trek is not exhausting but invigorating. The technique is to focus on your rhythm of walking and breathing. The steps you take and the times you inhale and exhale have to be adjusted as per your speed of walking. If you maintain this, you can trek for hours on end.

Rara Lake

This rara lake trek through the remote wilderness of western Nepal to visit Rara Lake, Nepal's largest at 16 sq km, offers a superb experience of nature. Beginning the trek from the mountain airstrip at Jumla the trail passes through green countryside, providing glimpses of a culture and scenery quite different from that found elsewhere in Nepal, which eventually leads to Rara Lake National Park. This beautiful high altitude lake is surrounded by Himalayan meadows and forests of pine, juniper and spruce, whilst in the background you can view the magnificent snow-capped peaks of the high Himalayas. The entire route is 'off the beaten track'; it involves the crossing of Danphya Langa Pass at 3,720m on the way to Rara Lake and two ridges at about 3,500m when hiking back

Apa Sherpa

Two Sherpas, Apa Sherpa and Phurba Tashi, hold the joint record for most Everest ascents. The pair have each managed to reach the summit an impressive 21 times. Phurba reached the top of the world three times in 2007 alone, and Apa has successfully summited the mountain almost every year between 1990 and 2011.Apa says that he has seen clear changes on Everest caused by global warming over the years. He has spoken of his concerns over melting snow and glaciers, which expose the rock and make it increasingly tough to climb. He also worries for the well-being of Sherpas, after losing his own home in a flood caused by the melted glaciers. Apa has dedicated several Everest ascents to raising awareness of climate change.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Among the three Durbar Squares, the Bhaktapur Durbar Square is by far the most elegant with its large open space facing south. The Golden Gate and the palace of 55 carved windows have added splendor to this palace square which consists of buildings sating from the 13^th century to 18^th  century. Bhaktapur's landmark is the world famous five-tiered Nyatapola, or five-storeyed temple, built in 1702 at Taumadhi Square. Bhaktapur is a living museum of arts and architecture. Each and every piece of art speaks of the city's history. The monuments and sculptures reflects reflect centuries-odd craftsmanship. The city has suffered much from earthquakes, especially those of 1808, 1833, and 1934. These earthqueks caused extensive damage to its ancient buildings. Yet , Despite the destruction, the external appearance of the city does not seem to have changed much. Temples and monuments have been restored and preserved. Dilapidated buildings have been restored and preserved .Dilapidated buildings have been rebuilt or renovated in their original form. So the basic structure of the town is intact.

Dr.Mukesh Kumar Chalise

Nepal will have shining dawn on nature conservation !!

(Dr. Mukesh K. Chalise, a reputed biodiversity scientist of Nepal specially on mammals and primates has affiliated with Central Department of Zoology, Kirtipur, Tribhuvan University. Dr. Chalise has been in University of Washington, Seattle as Fulbright Fellow, George August University, Gottingen Germany as DAAD Fellow for academic and research. Hiscollaboration with Mizoram University, Kunming Institute of Zoology and Kyoto University has already produced four PhD and some are underway. DrChalisehas been honored for his skillful exploration in Nepal with several fellowships such as Martha J. Galante Conservation Fellow, Conservation Fellow, and Linnaean Society Fellow and received several research grants for the wildlife study in Nepal. Served more than three decades on the education system of Nepal, Dr. Chalise has travelled all five continents of world and invited by the renowned universities for biodiversity lectures, conferences, workshops and to serve as mentor of young scientists. Below is a short script of his conversation- editor).

·         Namaskar ! Would you spare sometime with us despite your busy schedule ? How busy are you,currently ?

Namaskar ! Well, always there is something to do. If you are interested on biodiversity, then there will be no time for other activities. You are within the biodiversity in Nepal, even some time, Saturdays are also not holidays. Despite golden opportunities of honor and status, I returned from abroad to work in my own country, so how could I take rest ! Wildlife in our nature has been less explored so always new and amazing circumstances are happening. No chances of leisure time, what a fun, loving to nature !

·        We know, you have studied and acquired info from all ecosystems and theirs’ biodiversity in Nepal. How you like to introduce the biodiversity of Nepal specially wildlife ? What are the significances of Nepal biodiversity globally ?

Yes, I have done study/research tour of Nepal from Mechi to Mahakali and from Tarai to Himalaya of respective zones. I donot think I missed any ecosystem, subtropical Tarai forest to alpine grassland and hot sandy flood plain to trans Himalayan cold desert and nival zone. Mid mountains are always curious to me as a juncture of north and south.

During the arduous field studies, I have been recording several new facts and evidences that have never thought for Nepal. There was no record of hyenas east of bagmati River, I recorded it with infants during 2000 in Lalgadh, Dhanusha area and wrote about it. People doubt on my findings, but I continue the study and after sixteen years, my assistant Sivishcaptured its photos in Bardibas, Mahottari area adjacent to my previous records. Biodiversity experts (?) say no Binturong species in Nepal, I recorded its presence in Ghodaghodi Tal area during 1998. Actually I saw a skin of it and possessor saysit’s asBhaluBiralo. Assamese monkeys are globally accepted presence between 600-1800masl, and I recorded it between 380-2250masl before, and break my own previous record, recording them this year (2016) outside the Churiya range around 160 masl and highest around 2500masl in Nepal.

In social systems, wildlife population compose of pair group, one breeding male and several breeding female group, many breeding male and female group and sometime male bands. No any records of such phenomenon explored for Nepal. I was interested for male bands. I found there are male bands not only in monkey troops but also in Blackbuck, wild water buffalo and in spotted deer. Astonishingly, I have recorded not only twins but triplets and quadruplets rhesus in Nepal and photographed. It is appreciated by Late Prof.Ramon Rhine, Conservation Chair California University, Late Prof. Charles H. Southwick, Colorado University and also by Prof. Irwin Bernstein, University of Georgia. Those scientistsresponded me saying it is unique in wild rhesus where one infants are common not more.

In Nepal from east to west, I have recorded brown and mixed gray wild pigs while far-west consists of total black with bluish tail bearing varieties. The morphological differences in barking deer, ghoral, hog deer with its fur color are recognized latitudinal and longitudinally. I have spotted and made first reporting of snow leopard from Langtang region and also captured photos of Serow from Shivapuri area which was never thought of its presence.

So, many unique lives are present in Nepal !Needs a systematic exploration and recording. The wildlife presence here are basically same as our neighboring countries, but extra-ordinary situation is Nepal’s position and topography that is reflected on its diverse forms and evolution of flora and fauna in a short distance. Presence of Simal tree is common here in one slope while rhododendron in opposite mountains, Sal tree has been reduced its girth size but found even in inner mountain valleys. Wild fauna (animals and birds) like Spotted deer, Sambhar, rhesus monkeys, common leopard, mongoose, porcupine and even hyenas and also peacock, partridge, parakeets in inner valleys of the Himalayas are common but very unique phenomenon plays a role to the adaptabilities of species in different level. Such attendance of animal composition must have triggered to the formation of new species ! Nepal could be good ground of evolution as its Churia range is prime site of origin of several species that was accepted longtime ago. So, we needs untiring efforts of exploration ! Isn’t it ?

·         Nepal is such a country of wonderful possession of biodiversity, however, very less works to globalize it. What may be the reasons ?

Our biodiversity has been treated as Blue Moon. Until and unless we expose our hidden treasures who will cares ? There is no difference whether there is something or not, if you donot explore and publish it. What is use of unknown wealth ? May be we are trekking above the diamond mines or gold or petroleum well, who knows ! If we donot explore and publicize, it is just a dirt or soil, that’s it.

The resources which are useful to daily life or which can create income generation should be widely farmed and commercialized. Once, there was a working policy for wildlife farming, breeding and research but was sacked by some of the nonscientific and corrupted power holders as it was going to benefit common people of Nepal. Those resource which are scarce or rare should be conserved and use them for income generation from tourism and knowledge sharing without using it as commodity, just observation. The less publicity of such items and very orthodox conservation mentality of concern institution behaved the natural resources also for preservation ! What a stupid implementation ideas of conservation ! I feel shame to those who behave and think like that. If people will be empowered for wildlife farming and income generation then there will be no hassle for conservation. People themselves take care and guard the wildlife and biodiversity of their area. No need of security staff and management, only need some facilitators to advise them scientifically.

·         Do you have foreseen the possibilities of biodiversity trekking or tourism in Nepal ? What will be role of government to promote it if feasible ?

I think tourism in Nepal is basically relying on biodiversity trekking. Tourists visit Nepal for the peaceful nature observation that can be come across within a short distance travelling. It is as true as that. What else ? However, I donot know why government and private sectors openly donot emphasize and say the fact. The current scenario of federalism also disrupts the settings of previous nature trek options and confused everybody. Nobody knows whether in each federal state would have different rules or there will be single national rules in this sector.

Let us discuss what will be the attraction of tourists and would observe if we accept previous political and admin settings of zones. A tourist can observe in one span from Tarai hot and subtropical elements to mid mountains and the Himalayan range if we go like follows. For example: Travelling from Suklaphanta to Dadeldhura and then Darchula and Apinampa Conservation area; Lumbini to TamghasResunga and then Baglung to Annapurna range and Muktinath; ThoriChitwan to GorkhaTrisuli,Gosainkunda and Kerung; KoshiTappu to BarahChhettra,Tumlingtar and then Makalu and Popti pass, Kechana,Jhapa to Ilam,Panchthar and Kanchenjungha.

Such trekking routes will cover all biogeographical elements of nature within a short span of 150-200 km. It will be a great attraction and fun to anybody trekking such way !They can see animals and plants of diverse shape and size; such as,Jungle fowl, peacock, Tarai Langurs, deer, rhino, elephant, tiger, wild buffalo gaur, leopard, assamese monkeys, Himalayan Langurs, Kaliz, ghoral, Himalayan Thar, Blue sheep, Red panda, pheasants, musk deer, snow leopard in one span. Is not such trekking will be wonderful for nature lovers ?

Peoples’ level initiative will lead a successful implementation of conservation program if allowed for farming and breeding and income generation from wildlife and aromatic and medicinal plants in buffer zone areas as well as private lands. People will be benefited by such scheme so they also take care their wilder areas and biodiversity for the promotion of tourism.

·         You are an expert on biodiversity and nature lover. More than three decades you sacrificed for its research. What will be your suggestion and expectation from the Nepal government in this sector ?

The conservation theories should be understood as it explains not by your bias or prejudice mentality. In Nepal, most of the cases of over exploitation of natural resources experienced by the resourceful and government allies not by general public and layman. Therefore, need a peoples’ oriented thinking in implementers and managers of resources. Just relying to funding agencies and INGOs, Nepal will not prosper, it will move forward economically and ethically by the sole effort of people and patriotic implementers and policy makers. By that day, Nepal will have shining dawn on nature conservation and enrichment of status of people. Such feelings, rules and regulation will enhance real conservation; means sustainable use of natural resources, that we wanted since so long. Let us hope.

The legend behind the great stupa of Boudhanath has it that it was built by a poultry farmer a women Shamvara. After reciving permission from the king to build a stupa ,Shamvara began its construction with the help of her four sons ,an elephant and a donkey .Foundations were laid,and walls were build up to the third level .It was at this time that the people of the valley resented the idea of a poor poultry farmer and a woman at that  building such a stupa and shaming them by her illustriouis work.

They questioned ,if a poor women could such a stupa ,then what is to be expected from the king the nobles and the welthly .Jealous of the women ,they petitioned the king to halt the construction work .But the king was not to oblige them.He told them that poor poultry women-farmer had gone through great hardship to build the Stupa, he being the king ,would not take back his word .The construction work thus continued for four years ,and the pinnacle was nearing complete.

But at this point ,the poor women ,sensing that her end was nearing ,called her four sons and servant and told them to complete this great stupa .She said ,'' My divine project is the place of adulation for both earthly and superhuman beings. Place the imperishable remains of the Tathagatas (mortal Buddhas ) within this Stupa and consecrate it with great honouar and reverence .I desire that my wish be fulfilled by which the great purpose of all the Buddha of the past, present and future will be relaised .And you my sons ,will also fulfill the purpose of this life and the next by obeying my wishes " .With these words ,the woman died and attained Buddhahood  ( salvation) .Her sons completed theconstruction of the famous Boudhanath.

A Hindu legand on its origin states that the great stupa was built by kind Manadev (I) in 5^th century A.D. to absolve himself from the sin of patricide.
