Traveling, a great form of Learning… I’ve traveled a bit in my country and seen many inspiring things but those i like most are places of natural beauty – mountains, the jungle, countryside, waterfalls, etc. to name a few. After this trip, another place with natural beauty & jungle will be added to my list.
No matter in a large group or with few friends, traveling is a great fun & refreshment. This time we planned to go to ‘Chitwan National Park’ for few days and proposed the college management for transportation facility 2 days prior to the tour date. We hope for the positive response but they denied after a day. We didn’t got even a moral support but they tried to cancel the tour till last hour. Our refreshment plan became the drama. Our hope to see ‘Lotus on the desert’ was all over.
Despite all those, 3 of us (Bikash, Bipen n’ Me) convinced the friends to go by public bus or a reserved bus, most of them agreed that day, and we have planned to start the trip by 14:30 next day.
NEXT DAY
I was at college by 7:00 with my bag packs. Then, the drama of my friends began… they quit the trip one by one. !@#$%^&*(). At the end only 3 were left. What we say is what we do… no matter those ****** friends join us or not. This was the top of my anger.
Bipen and Me were already with bag packs so we went to Bikash’s room. He prepared the bag. After all we were ready to kick off. We came to Bagbazar, withdrawn money from NCC Bank, brought some light foods and join the micro bus to Kalanki (from where we can get bus to Narayanghadh). At arround 16:00 we were on the bus, which was in fact a ‘local’ bus! to Narayandhadh.
We left Kalanki after nearly 15 mins. After 10-15 mins a van carrying water jars collied with our bus from behind. Luckily no big harm but it stopped us nearly 30 mins. The bus took the Prithivi Highway (Kathmandu to Pokhara) which is a 210 km stretch of narrow road through the mountains. This highway joins the capital with major cities of Nepal, it is in fact a entry road to the capital. We have to cross halfway of that highway then have to join Mugling-Narayanghadh way from Mugling.
So interesting, that local bus have TV on it… so our time was passing easily. At first they showed a new nepali movie ‘Mission Love in Sikkim’… so frustrating actors & actress… frustrating story… we gave it 0/10. We watched it only till the INTERVAL… We stopped at Malekhu then had some fishes & potato curry… It was already 18:30. We left Malekhu in a while. That frustrating movie was also changed. Then after we watched some parts of few movies (Maine Pyar Kiya, Kismat Connection etc.). We reached Narayandhadh at 20:15 passing Kurintar, Mugling n’ Rampur. We were happy.
We have to find lodge for that day’s rest. We went on that mission. It took nearly 45 mins. After all a lodge was managed. We kept all the bags, be fresh and wait till the dinner with some drinks and 25% for me. he he he he… It lasts nearly half an hour. Everything was going fine except some back pressure by Bipen… he he he … :). That was an awesome night full of fun n’ enjoyment. At around 23:30 everybody were on the bed for good night sleep, but imagining the fun for next day… 🙂
