There is a saying “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks”. I think hiking is all about walking with nature.
This was my first hike as Deerwalker. The hiking destination was one of the best-hiking destinations of Nepal. I have already been to Kalinchowk two years ago during my college days. I was enamored with this place due to its majestic beauty. It seems as if this place is floating on the cloud that’s why I participated in this hike.
My journey to Kalinchowk started from Deerwalk complex at 6:30 am. We reached Dhulikhel and had a light breakfast. We had confusion regarding the route to Charikot since road through Sindhupalchowk to Charikot is under construction. Therefore we decided to travel through Sindhuli-Bardibas route.
We traveled through most famous newly constructed road B.P. highway. This is the fantastic road with beautiful scenery throughout the road on the bank of Sunkoshi river. After crossing Khurkot we travel down to steep passing the bank of Tamakoshi river. We reached Tamakoshi and had most awaited lunch since all of us were hungry. Then after lunch, we reached Charikot quite late than we have planned.It was late to start the hike from Charikot so we hired four wheeler jeep to Deurali and started our hike from there. We walked through thick forest with thick fog. The climate there was mercurial. We can’t predict when it will become sunny or when it will become foggy. After a relentless effort, we reached Kuri before sunset. The view was amazing.This was the great surprise of the one who is the novice for this place. During my first hike to Kalinchowk I missed sunset but this time I was able to view sunset beneath the floating cloud.
We stayed hotel at Kuri. Next day we started the hike to the top of the Kalinchowk at 4.30 am so that we could view the sunrise from the top and we got that chance too. View from the top of Kalinchowk was superb which can’t be described in few words. Just one need to reach there to embrace the beauty of Kalinchowk. One will feel as if there is no top when after reaching there. And we returned to Charikot and had lunch. And after that, we returned back to Kathmandu making the moment unforgettable.
Heaven is myth but Nepal is true
You are above the cloud
