  • Enjoyment @ Sauraha! – Day 02

    … woke up at around 5:00 with cock-a-doodle-do and became fresh and be ready for the excitement. We had breakfast and left the lodge at around 8:00. Sun was already out and spreading its power. After that we decided to go for elephant back excursion and went towards that. Traveling with elephant inside the jungle watching wildlife action was really a nice experience. We continued that safari nearly till 2 hrs.

    After that fun we came to hotel and had lunch. Actually we were not that much satisfied with hotel services so we left the hotel room before 12 PM booked another one near the riverside. Rapti River Beach is a nice place to relax so we went towards that. We jumped in to the river, {I am not a good swimmer though}. We all had great fun in water. Sleeping in the sand was another great fun, felt like the sea beach.

    At around 5 PM we came back to the hotel and had some rest.

    We had dinner at 20:00 and went to bed and watched IPL. Bad night for ‘Rajasthan Royals’ which I was supporting… And with that a rocking day was gone.

  • 5 days to Remember : Day 2 – Arround Sauraha [CNP]

    We woke up at around 6:30 and became fresh and be ready for the excitement. We left the lodge at 7:00, the sun was just rising and the valley below was covered in fog. Environment was little cold but not like Kathmandu. Bikash went to the barber shop but Bipen and Me had sip of the tea at the street. We roam arround until bikash is back. After 15 minutes Bikash was also back, then we had tea again.

    Today’s destination was Chitwan National Park [CNP], Sauraha which was nearly a hour distance from Narayangadh but we have to change 2 vehicles, first till ‘Tandi’ and next to ‘Sauraha’. We wait till the bus to come. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * . After 15-20 minutes we left Narayangadh and reached ‘Tandi’ at arround 30 mins. We had nice breakfast there and left for ‘Sauraha’ on ‘Horse Tanga’ ( Local Vehicle Operated with Horse). Travel on Tanga was a nice experience.

    We reached Sauraha at 10:30. Then we went to the Rapti River Beach, tourists were enjoying elephant bathing and all the people were enjoying the actions of elephant, we were also a part of that. Environment was little hot… anyway we enjoyed lot whole day.

  • 5 days to Remember : Day 1 – Ktm to Narayanghadh

    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… 🙂
