Hike at Lakhure bhanjyang

It's been a while since I wrote a blog. So, after soooo many days, thought about writing about my hike to Lakhure bhanjyang.

The day was 27th January 2007 and time well past 7 am. Venue- Outside Patan Hospital. I was supposed to meet my frens from YTC (Youth Telecenter) at 7 and here I was.....late. Anyways, seemed like I was not the only one late today....Gud for me....Anyways, by 8, we were ready for the trip. We boarded a bus for Lamatar at Lagankhel bus park and hence, began our much-awaited trip.

The bus ride was uneventful and we came to Sisneri at around 9. We had our breakfast and then became our hike started. In the beginning, we moved in full throttle, full of energy and zeal. As we covered more distance, it became more difficult for us and we settled down wherever we could, catching our breath (hey...we are not used to this kind of hiking....so no complains about the delay). We even managed to go up to the tower area n man, was the effort worthwhile. The view from the tower was superb, worth all the effort.

By the time we reached for our lunch, we were drained out of any energy. The only thing we could think of was FOOD, of course. N when food was put on the table, we went for it. Hehe. After relaxing for a while, we went on to our next destination, the Country Kitchen. The place was gud, but we were a little disappointed with the unclear view. Nevertheless, we joked, relaxed and had enjoyed our time there.

Now, it was time for our descent, which was much easier (at least I thought so). After an hour or so of descent, we came to our resort. Thankfully. We were exhausted, tired, hungry, but satisfied with the hike. But the day was far from over. There was a lot to come. We rested a while, eat and then the FUN began.

We had planned to have bonfire in the evening. But it was not that easy as we thought. The fire would not burn easily, but we tried and tried and tried and then finally we had our fire ready. We played Dumbsharaj, Antakshari and joked around and had chicken barbeque (most of which tasted like coal, hehe). We had also planned for a surprise bday party for 2 of our YTC members. (But, guess wht, they were already expecting the surprise. Here goes our SURPRISE party).

Nevertheless, the trip was truly a wonderful experience. All in all, a gud experience, a memory to truly cherish.....
