Aia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe ma ka Manaslu Conservation Area o Nepal, ʻo Samdo kahi kauhale liʻiliʻi a mamao loa e manaʻo nei i ka honua. Kau ma kahi o 3,875 mika (12,713 kapuaʻi) ma luna aʻe o ka ʻilikai, ʻo ke kauhale ʻo Samdo ka wahi hope loa i noho ʻia ma ka huakaʻi ʻo Manaslu Circuit ma mua o ka Larkya La (5,106m) pass. Hoʻokumu ʻia e nā kualono nui o Manaslu Himalaya, aia ke kauhale me nā hale i kūkulu ʻia i ka pōhaku, nā hae pule e lele ana, a me kahi gompa liʻiliʻi (monastery).
I ka piʻi ʻana o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma waena o nā ululāʻau subalpine a me nā ululāʻau, ʻike koke ʻia ʻo Samdo ma ke awāwa ākea - he "Himalayan maoli pōhaku” a he wahi moʻomeheu Tibet ma nā ʻāina kiʻekiʻe o Nepalese. No ka poʻe he nui, ʻo ka hōʻea ʻana iā Samdo he mea nui ia: ʻo ka ʻono hope loa o ke ola kauhale ma mua o nā ala kiʻekiʻe maoli ma waho.
Hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻo Samdo no kāna mau hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha a me nā kuʻuna Buddhist Tibetan hohonu. Mai ke kauhale, aia nā hiʻohiʻona ʻole o nā puʻu hau nui a puni - ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi loa mauna Manaslu (8,163 m), ka mauna ʻewalu kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua, e kū ana i luna mai ka hikina hema.

Hoʻoilina mōʻaukala a moʻomeheu
ʻO ka poʻe o Samdo ka ʻike Tibetan, a ua neʻe ka hapa nui o ko lākou ʻohana i ka ʻāina ʻo Kyirong i nā makahiki 1950 a me 1960. ʻO ko lākou ʻōlelo Tibetan he kyirong, a ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa nei lākou i ka Buddhism Tibetan kuʻuna akā ke kikowaena a puni Samdo ʻO Gompa, kahi i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā thangkas, nā kiʻi, a me nā mea ʻala iuniper, kahi e heluhelu ai nā mōneka i nā pule ahiahi.
Ma waho o ka monastery, he lōʻihi Mania nā pā i kukuluia me na pohaku pule i kalaiia. Hele pū ka poʻe Trekkers i ka hele wāwae a puni lākou, e hoʻohuli i nā huila pule e like me nā kamaʻāina.

ʻO ia mau ʻahaʻaina e like me ʻO Losar e komo pū me nā hula huna, nā mele, a me nā meaʻai maʻamau, i hiki ke loaʻa i nā malihini. He ʻike maoli ʻo Samdo i ka moʻomeheu Tibet o ka Himalaya kiʻekiʻe.
Ke Kiʻi ʻana i laila: Alanui, ʻAe, a me ka pilikia

ʻAʻole ʻenehana ka huakaʻi i Samdo akā ʻo ia akahai pilikia ma muli o nā hola hele lōʻihi a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe. E noʻonoʻo i nā hola 6-8 i kēlā me kēia lā e hele ana ma nā wahi like ʻole, hoʻonui mau i ka pae. Kokoke ʻo Samdo i 3,900 m me Dharmasala (4,460 m) a me Larkya La Pass (5,106 m) ma kahi mamao ma mua, no laila e koi ʻia ka acclimatization.
Ma ʻaneʻi, nui ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻolimalima i kahi lā hou ma Samdo a i ʻole e hana i nā huakaʻi acclimatization pōkole ma mua o ka piʻi ʻana i luna. ʻO ke kauwela a me ke kauwela ka manawa maikaʻi loa.

Kaʻahele a puni ʻo Samdo
Hoʻomaha a acclimatization: Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka hapa nui o nā ala ala Manaslu e ʻae i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha pō ma Samdo (3,875 m) e hiki ai i nā mea hele wāwae ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma mua o ka piʻi ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe i Larkya La. ʻAʻole manaʻo ka lā hoʻomaha e noho a puni; Eia naʻe, hāʻawi pinepine nā alakaʻi i nā hele wāwae liʻiliʻi a maʻalahi i nā kualono kokoke a i ʻole nā pā yak e kōkua i ka acclimatization e ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo hike high, sleep low rule.
ʻO ka huakaʻi ʻaoʻao - Samdo Ri: Me ka nui o ka ikaika, Samdo Ri he wahi maikai e hoomaka ai a e lealea i ka pii lealea ana o ka piko hana ole ma kahi o 5,200 m. Ma kahi o 6-8 mau hola kaʻapuni, me nā wahi pōhaku (ua uhi ʻia paha kekahi i ka hau a i uhi ʻia paha) e piʻi i ka piko.
Aia ma ka piko kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā Manaslu a me kona mau pae a puni i kahi hiʻohiʻona 360-degere. E hana wale i kēia i ka lā maikaʻi, inā ʻaʻohe hōʻailona kiʻekiʻe, a maikaʻi nā kūlana, a laila hiki ke lilo i kahi huakaʻi poina ʻole a me kahi ʻike acclimatization.
Ke ʻimi nei i kauhale: ʻO nā ala liʻiliʻi o Samdo a me ka hele wāwae o ka muliwai, ʻo ia nā wahi e makaʻala ai i nā ala pōkole e ʻike ai i kahi leo mālie o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā.

Kūkākūkā maʻamau- i hele pū ʻia me nā hōʻailona - hana i nā hoʻololi koʻikoʻi a me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke ola ma kahi kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ka mālie o Samdo, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka hiʻohiʻona nui o ia wahi ua lilo ia i kahi o nā wahi poina ʻole e kipa aku ai ma ka Manaslu Circuit.
Manaʻo kōkua: Acclimatization and Ethics
ʻŌlelo kuhikuhi kiʻekiʻe: He mea nui e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma Samdo ma muli o kona kiʻekiʻe. He mau lā hoʻomaha ka huakaʻi ma Namrung a me Samagaon ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana i kauhale. Ke hiki ʻoe i Samdo, e lawe i kou manawa, e mālama i ka wai, a nui ka ʻai. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi poʻo, nausea, a i ʻole ʻūlū, e haʻi i kāu alakaʻi i ka manawa.
He mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i ka poʻe hele wāwae e hele ana i kahi piʻi pōkole kiʻekiʻe, e moe haʻahaʻa i ka puʻu kokoke loa a i ʻole Samdo Ri, a laila hoʻi e hiamoe i ke kauhale. E lawe mai i ka lāʻau lapaʻau kiʻekiʻe, e like me Diamox, inā ʻōlelo ʻia e ke kauka.
Essentials: Hiki i nā pō ma Samdo ke hāʻule ma kahi o -3°C a -8°C i ka hāʻule ʻana a me -10°C a i ʻole i lalo i ka hoʻoilo, no laila, pono kahi ʻeke hiamoe mahana (-15°C), nā mea wela, ka lole pale makani, ka pāpale, a me nā mīkina lima. ʻO nā aniani, ka pale lā, ka lehelehe lehelehe, a me ke ʻano hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai he mea pono. Hoʻohana ʻia nā pou hele wāwae no ke kōkua ʻana i nā ala pali a hau. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā ʻeke, nā ʻeke ʻē aʻe, nā meaʻai liʻiliʻi, a me ke kukui poʻo e ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o kou noho ʻana.
Kaʻahele ma ka pono: E hoʻohana i nā loina kauhale e ʻai a inu e kākoʻo i ka hoʻokele waiwai kūloko. E noi i ka ʻae ma mua o ka paʻi ʻana i nā kiʻi a e nānā i ke kuʻuna o ka ʻāina, e laʻa, ka hele wāwae ʻana ma ka uaki a puni nā paia mani a me nā huila pule. E hoʻolei i nā mea hiki ʻole i ka biodegradable a mai hoʻopilikia i nā holoholona a me nā holoholona hihiu.
E hoʻohana i nā hale halepaku, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kou wai, a pale i ka walaʻau ʻana i loko a a puni nā wahi noho a me nā wahi hoʻomana. ʻO nā pilikia huakaʻi kūpono e mālama iā Samdo i ka maʻemaʻe, ka maluhia, a me ka ʻike ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana e ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi kūloko a me ka wā e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka hana a Samdo ma ka Kaapuni Manaslu
ʻOi aku ka manaʻo nui o Samdo ma mua o kona mau palena. Ma ka Manaslu Circuit, lawelawe ia ma ke ʻano he linchpin koʻikoʻi. ʻO ka mea mua, ma nā ʻōlelo kūpono, ʻo ia ke kauhale hope ma mua o Larkya Pass. ʻAʻohe alanui ma ʻaneʻi - hiki ke hele wāwae wale ʻia ʻo Samdo - no laila ʻo ia ka manawa hope loa no ka poʻe huakaʻi e launa pū me ke ola noho ma ka ʻaoʻao Nepal.
ʻO nā noho hou aʻe ma hope o Samdo, ʻo ia nā kahua hoʻomoana ma Samdo Phedi (Larkya Base) a laila ʻo Dharamsala ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka pass. Ma kēlā ʻano, ʻo Samdo kahi ʻīpuka a me kahi pale: kahi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai a hoʻomākaukau noʻonoʻo no ka hele ʻana, ʻoiai e hōʻailona ana i ka paepae ma waena o ke awāwa haʻahaʻa a me ka honua kiʻekiʻe, paʻa ʻole ma luna o 5,000 mika.
Ma ka moʻomeheu, kū ʻo Samdo ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o nā ʻāina ʻo Gurung a me Tibet. Aia ia ma ke ala kalepa kahiko e hele ai Tibet, a mālama i kahi ʻano Buddhist Tibetan hohonu. ʻO ka hele ʻana i Samdo e like me ka hele ʻana i kahi puka manawa i Tibet - ʻoiai ʻoe ma Nepal, ʻike ʻia ka lewa, ka ʻōlelo, a me ka ʻuhane i Tibetan.
No ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo Samdo's Tibetan hoʻoilina kekahi o nā wahi poina ʻole o ke ala Manaslu. He nui nā alakaʻi e ʻōlelo nei ʻo ka hui pū ʻana o ka waiwai moʻomeheu o Samdo, nā hiʻohiʻona mauna kupaianaha, a me kāna hana hoʻomaʻamaʻa koʻikoʻi e lilo ia i "kekahi o nā hoʻomaha poina loa ma ka Kaapuni Kaapuni Manaslu".
E like me ka ʻōlelo a kekahi o nā mea kākau huakaʻi, ʻo Samdo ka wahi e hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ma ka huaʻōlelo hoʻokahi he nani maoli a me ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu waiwai, ʻo ia ke kumu i kaulana ai ma muli o kona ʻoiaʻiʻo a me nā hiʻohiʻona.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, he mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Samdo no ka mea he kaiāulu kiʻekiʻe ia e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ke ola i nā kūlana koʻikoʻi. ʻAʻole ʻo nā mauna wale nō ka mea e hoʻokalakupua ai ka huakaʻi Himalaya, akā ʻo ka poʻe e noho ana a puni nā mauna.
Hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi ʻo Samdo iā mākou ʻaʻole wale ke ala e hoʻopili ai me ke ʻano, akā me ka ʻike kanaka pū kekahi: ka pule ʻohana i ke kakahiaka, hoʻokipa i kahi mōneka, a i ʻole ka ʻohi ʻana o kahi kahu hānai. Ma kēlā ʻano, he mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Samdo i ka Manaslu Circuit no ka mea ʻo ia ka puʻuwai kanaka o ka huakaʻi.
Ke hoʻolālā nei i kāu kipa ʻana: Inā hoʻonohonoho ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi Kaapuni Manaslu me Samdo, e hoʻomanaʻo pono e hoʻonohonoho mua ʻia nā ʻae a me nā hoʻonohonoho alakaʻi. Hiki ke loaʻa nā ʻae hele wāwae (RAP, MCAP, a me ACAP) ma o ka mea hoʻohana Nepalese laikini.
ʻAʻole koi ʻia kahi kāleka TIMS no ka Manaslu Circuit inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi RAP. Hoʻohana maʻamau nā laʻana itineraries 7-8 lā a hiki i Samdo, a ukali ʻia e ka Larkya pass, a laila iho ma o Bimthang a me Dharapani e puka i ka ʻāina ʻo Annapurna. E hoʻomākaukau no nā pō anuanu a me nā lā i piha i ka lā, a hoʻopili i nā papa e like me ia.
ʻO ka manawa maikaʻi loa e hele ai: ʻO nā kau kūpono waipuna (Malaki–Mei) a Hāʻulelau (September–November). Hōʻike ka pūnāwai i ka pua ʻana o nā rhododendrons ma ke ala haʻahaʻa, a ʻo ka hāʻule ʻana he lani mālie ma hope o ke kau.
ʻO ke kauwela ka monsoon pulu (ʻeleʻele a pilikia), a lawe mai ka hoʻoilo i ka hau hohonu a me ke anu loa (ʻo ia wale nō ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻāʻo nei). E nānā mau i nā kūlana kūloko ma mua o ka hele ʻana a mālama i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a kāu alakaʻi.
Ka Hopena: No ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi makemake i ka Manaslu Circuit, ʻaʻole ʻo Samdo kahi ala ʻē aʻe - ʻo ia ka lei aliʻi o ke awāwa kiʻekiʻe. He hui ia o ka mōʻaukala, ka moʻomeheu, nā hiʻohiʻona, a me ka paʻakikī e hōʻike i ka ʻike huakaʻi Himalayan.
Hana ʻo Samdo i ka manaʻo, inā paha ʻoe e pōʻai ana i ka pā mani, e loaʻa ana i kahi kī pata i mua o kahi kapuahi, a i ʻole ke nānā aku i ka mauna Manaslu e ʻālohilohi ana i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. Hoʻomanaʻo mai ia iā mākou ʻoiai ʻo ia huakaʻi hoʻomāinoino, aia mau ka huli hou e paʻa me ia mau manawa o ka maluhia, ka ʻuhane, a me ka pilina kanaka.
