An incredible four hour trek

12th Jan, 2014

An incredible four hour trek in Kathmandu Valley from Sankruh to Nagarkot, guided by 29 year old Depak.. from Actual Adventures, LTD, who grew up in the Everest Base Camp area.

Vistas too incredible, too majestic for words, silence only sporadically broken by the calls of children, songs of birds, crowing of far-away roosters, bleating of baby goats… terraced fields of mustard yellow flowers, or of newly planted corn and wheat ready to harvest, bent women and children packing tons of fire sticks on their backs, herding their flocks through stone studded streets.

Depak knows all the little short-cuts, and is able to negotiate different routes- some scenic and very rustic- through the valley, routes not ever explained in any of the travel books. You cannot even help but to meditate, .. to pray… to be calm and take in the magic of Kathmandu valley. I so wish you were here to share in this wonderment- that I am so honored to witness alone.
