SUNDAY, the holiday… we were expecting some enjoyments but what to do was not yet fixed. I Woke up at around 8 AM, be fresh & had Lunch. Bipen was already at my place at around 9:30 AM. I called Bimal & we met at a Tea shop in Kalopul. Then I called Sunil and told him to come at that location. At around 10-15 minutes both guys were there. Then we planned to had our holiday at Tapoban (Nearly a hour from there.), we all agreed upon that and started the journey. We went passing Balaju & Nagarjun Jungle. On the way to Tapoban, Bipen proposed to go to Trishuli (~65 Kms.) we calculated the time & immediately agreed upon it.
Actual excitement Begin from there. Me & sunil were in a bike and Bipin & Bimal in another one. We enjoyed a breathtaking panoramas, beautiful Himalayan ranges on the way. Beautiful view of Langtang Himalayan range is clearly visible from Kakani. Trail till Kakani was to the up and after that the trail was to the down. After 15 minutes of down trail, we stopped at ‘Ranipauwa’ had some food & clicked some photographs. Biking in the Bending small roads was definitely a great challenge. We really enjoyed the way. We reached Trishuli at around 1:30 hrs passing different beautiful places & enjoying the nature. Going through Trishuli Bazar we went through the dusty road towards dam side. We really enjoyed that place, and took some adventurous photographs & videos.
Till then we were too hungry so we came back to Trishuli Bazar & had nice lunch (Buff Sekuwa, Chicken Sekuwa, Peanuts, MOMO etc.) at ‘Hajur ko Sekuwa’. Singing, Dancing etc. made the enjoyment even better. We enjoyed there till 4:30 PM.
After too much fun, it was the time to return to own place. We started our back trip. We were not returning from the same way. Our return route was Galchhi-Naubise-Thankot and then Kathmandu. That route was somehow difficult. The way till Galchhi was completely with the Trishuli river. After half an hour we stopped at a place & went to the Trishuli river beach. Open space, river flowing… evening dusk… that moment was so nice. We took photographs keeping the camera on Tripod. Spending nearly half an hour we continued our back trip. Journey passing the dusty road, muddy road, stony road felt really adventurous.
We reached Galchhi at around 6:30 we all were tired with bike ride in कच्चि road. We take some rest and enjoyed delicious Fish there. Spending some half an hour we started again. Environment was so cold. And it was much colder in Bike. We still need to pass ~4o km of Prithivi Highway to reach Kathmandu. Experiencing the damaged trails of Nepalese Highway we reached our place at around 8:30 PM.
Bipen dropped me near my room. It was already 9 PM when I reached my room. I be fresh, changed the clothes full of dust & had my dinner. I downloaded the photos to my Laptop go through it. I was feeling the same excitement while viewing photos & watching videos as our enjoyment that afternoon.
At arround 10:30 PM, I was already feeling that adventure & excitement in my dream.
