Welina! ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke haʻi iā ʻoe i ko mākou hauʻoli i ka hoʻokipa ʻana iā ʻoe. E kali ana kā mākou limahana Himalayan Adventure e aloha iā ʻoe ma ka puka TIA. Ma hope o ka hoʻokipa ʻana, e hele pū ʻo ia me ʻoe i kou hōkele.

ʻO kēia lā ka lā hui hui no ka mea hiki i nā mea komo o ka huakaʻi pōkole ʻo Annapurna ke hōʻea i nā mokulele like ʻole i nā manawa like ʻole. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hana iā ʻoe iho ma ka home a hele wāwae ma nā alanui Kathmandu a i ʻole hiki i Boudhanath a i ʻole Swayambhunath (koho).

I ke ahiahi, i ka manawa e piha ai ka hui, e hōʻea mai kā mākou alakaʻi a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā kikoʻī e pili ana i ke ala huakaʻi Annapurna. A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolauleʻa i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāu huakaʻi huakaʻi hele ʻo Annapurna i ka lewa ola o ke kapikala me kekahi mau meaʻai a me nā mea inu.

He lā hauʻoli, ʻakaʻaka, a me ka hoʻokalakupua e kali nei iā ʻoe i kēia lā ke hele ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi rafting hauʻoli ma ke kahawai ikaika o ka muliwai Trishuli ikaika.

Ma hope o ka kakahiaka kakahiaka kakahiaka nui, e lawe aku kā mākou kaʻa kūʻokoʻa iā ʻoe mai Kathmandu ma o nā alanui nui o Kalanki a me Thankot. A laila, e alakaʻi mālie ʻo Prithvi Highway i ke awāwa ʻo Trishuli.

Ke hele nei ʻoe i mua, e mamao loa ʻoe mai ka hustle o ke kūlanakauhale a e hoʻopuni ʻia ʻoe e ka nani mālie o Nepal.

ʻAʻole liuliu, e hōʻea mākou i ka ʻīpuka o ka Trishuli rafting adventure- ʻo Charaudi Red House ma kahi o 81 km mamao mai Kathmandu. Mai ʻaneʻi, ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a nā kumu aʻoaʻo ʻike, e hele ʻoe i ka rafting ma nā lāʻau lāʻau.

Eia nō naʻe, ma mua o ka paʻi ʻana i ka wai, e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻolohe pono i ka ʻōlelo a ke alakaʻi loea rafting e pili ana i nā kaʻina hana. E hōʻike pū ʻo ia iā ʻoe e pili ana i ke ala kūpono o ka hoe ʻana i ka waʻa ma muli o nā nalu o ka muliwai Trishuli. A mai poina e kau i kou mau mea palekana e like me ka mahiole a me ka lole ola.

ʻO kā mākou hoʻokūkū mua ʻo ia ka papa III wikiwiki i kapa ʻia ʻo Ladies Delight. ʻOi aku ka mālie o kēia ʻāpana o Trishuli i hiki iā ʻoe ke hoe hoʻomaha me ka leʻaleʻa i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ka muliwai.

A laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke koho e hoʻoponopono i ka Upset Rapids a i ʻole Surprise Rapids o Trishuli. Eia hou, ʻo lāua ʻelua he mau hawewe papa III akā me nā nalu nui aʻe a me nā au ikaika i lawa e mālama iā ʻoe i kou manamana wāwae.

E ʻoluʻolu e pono kēia mau wikiwiki i ka hui pū ʻana a me ke akamai i ka hoe no laila inā ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo pono, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele. A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke koho wale e hoʻomaha ma ke kahakai one o ka muliwai a hauʻoli i ka lewa maluhia.

Ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻana i kā mākou ʻike hoʻohiwahiwa hauʻoli, inā makemake ʻoe hiki iā mākou ke lawe iā ʻoe i kā mākou hoʻomoana hoʻokipa maikaʻi i ka pō kahi e kali ai kahi ʻaina awakea maikaʻi. A i ʻole, hiki iā mākou ke lawe iā ʻoe i kou lumi ma Trishuli Resort - ʻo ke koho ʻana i kahi hoʻomoana i ka pō a i ʻole ka noho hoʻomaha ʻana iā ʻoe. I kēia manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke koho e ʻauʻau, hele mālie ma ke kahakai one o ka muliwai, a i ʻole hele i ka lawaiʻa.

I ka mākaukau ʻana o ka lā e napoʻo, e ʻākoakoa mākou a puni i kahi ahi hoʻomoana nani a hauʻoli i ka lewa i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā mele a me ka hula. Ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi, e nānā wale i luna a mahalo i ka helu ʻana o nā hōkū e ʻālohilohi ana i ka pō ma mua o kou haʻalele ʻana i kou lumi.

Ua hiki mai ka manawa no mākou e holo aku ai i ke kūlanakauhale Mōʻīwahine o Nepal- ʻo Pokhara pohihihi a hāmama loa. Mai Trishuli, e hoʻomau hou mākou ma ke alanui Prithvi a hiki i Mugling.

I kēia manawa, e alakaʻi ʻo Mugling-Narayanghat Highway i ko mākou ala i ke kūlanakauhale nani o Newari kahiko o Bandipur. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaha ma ʻaneʻi no kekahi manawa e hauʻoli i ka maluhia o ke kaona a me kona mau alanui i kālai ʻia.

E huakaʻi mākou i kēia manawa a me ka mālie, pakahi, hoʻomaka nā poʻo o nā piko hau o Ganesh, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, Dhaulagiri, a me Fishtail.

Eia mākou, ma ke kūlanakauhale kupanaha o Pokhara i hoʻohiwahiwa i ka poʻe huakaʻi me kona lewa hoʻokipa kūikawā. Noho mālie ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko Phewa, ua māhele ʻia kēia kūlanakauhale i ʻelua ʻāpana e ka muliwai Seti Gandaki e kahe ana.

Ma hope o ka noho ʻana i ka hōkele, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae ma ke kikowaena mākaʻikaʻi nui o ke kūlanakauhale i kapa ʻia ʻo Lakeside, e holo i ka waʻa ma luna o ka Phewa, a mahalo i ka panorama mauna nani e noʻonoʻo ana i kona ʻili māmā.

Ma hope o kahi kakahiaka Himalaya maikaʻi ma Pokhara, e hoʻomākaukau mākou i kā mākou ukana a hoʻonohonoho i kahi huakaʻi pōkole akā hoʻokō loa ma kahi o 45 mau minuke a i hoʻokahi hola i ke kauhale liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Kande. Mai ʻaneʻi, e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou lā piha mua o ka hele ʻana ma nā alanui pōhaku a me nā māla mahiʻai o Kande.

ʻAʻole koke, e hāʻawi ke alanui i ke ala ʻoi loa o ka ululāʻau ululāʻau e hele ana ma ka ululāʻau o nā orchids, rhododendrons, nā kumu waina, a me nā ʻoka. ʻAʻole e pau ke ala i ka piʻi ʻana a hiki i ka Australian Camp e hiki ke lōʻihi ma kahi o 1 a 2 mau hola.

Aia ma kahi puʻu kiʻekiʻe 2055 m, hāʻawi kēia wahi liʻiliʻi i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha loa o Hiunchuli (6440 m), Lamjung Himal (6983 m), Machhapuchhre (6993 m), a me Annapurna Hema (7219 m).

Ma mua i kapa ʻia ʻo Thulo Kharka, ʻo kēia wahi liʻiliʻi kahi wahi kūpono e nānā ai i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā e hoʻolei ana i ko lākou kukui kilokilo ma luna o nā mauna honi lani.

Mai ka Australian Camp, e hele mākou i lalo i ke ala o ka ululāʻau kupanaha. E iho ana mākou ma kahi o 300 m a hiki ke lawe iā mākou ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola a ʻoi paha.

ʻO kēia huakaʻi iho e lawe iā mākou i ka Gurung Village o Dhampus i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka hale nani o ka papa Annapurna. Ma hope aʻe, ʻo kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi Annapurna e lawe iā mākou i kahi iho hou no kahi hola i Phedi.

E loaʻa iā mākou kahi hāʻule pali ma kahi o 600 m e maʻalahi ʻia e ka makani mauna ʻoluʻolu e kahe ana ma nā pā Snowy o Annapurna Hema (7,219 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Manaslu (8,156 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), Lamjung Himal (6,983 m), Himal (6,441 m) (7,446 m).

Eia, e kali ana ko kakou kaa ia kakou e huakai hoi i Pokhara. Ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola, e uhi hou ʻia kākou e ka ʻoliʻoli o kēia kūlanakauhale.

No ka mea he hapalua lā ko mākou, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi hoihoi ma Pokhara. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hauʻoli i ka holo waʻa ma ka loko o Phewa, ʻo kou manawa kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa aku i ka luakini nani ʻo Barahi.

A laila, ʻo ka hale keʻokeʻo nani o Peace Pagoda e kū nei ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona o ka lokahi honua hiki ke lilo i wahi aʻe e kipa aku ai. Ma kahi kokoke, aia kahi pali, a ma luna he 1500 m kiʻekiʻe ʻo Lord Shiva kiʻi i kūpono i kou manawa.

A laila, e hele wāwae ana ma ka Bazaar waihoʻoluʻu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kahi mākaʻikaʻi liʻiliʻi o ka luakini ʻo Bindhyabasini. A laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i ka Patale Chhango i ʻike mau ʻia ʻo Devi's Falls, a ʻike i ka nalo ʻana o ka wai o Pardi Khola i ka hohonu o ka honua.

A laila, e ʻike mākou i ke ana ʻo Gupteshwor Mahadev ma mua pono o ka wailele ʻo Devi. I ka iho ʻana i ke alapiʻi pōhaku spiral, e hōʻea mākou i loko o ke ana e like me ke ala ʻeleʻele.

ʻO ka manawa kēia e hoʻopau koke ai i kā mākou ahiahi no ka mea he mokuna hoihoi o kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi Annapurna e kali ana i ka lā ʻapōpō.

No ʻoukou ka poʻe manaʻo ʻole e ala aʻe ma mua o ka lā, aia kahi manawa hoihoi e ʻike i ka puka ʻana o ka lā kilokilo i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma luna o nā kualono hau kiʻekiʻe mai ka Sarangkot Viewpoint i hoʻomaha mālie ma ke kiʻekiʻe o 1600 m.

He 30 mau minuke hele mālie i luna e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka Annapurna, Lamjung, Manaslu, Fishtail, a me Himchuli e hoʻomaha ana ma lalo o ka ʻālohilohi ʻana o ka lā. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻaʻole kāu kīʻaha kī i ka piʻi ʻana ma mua o ka lā, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ke ahiahi no ka nānā ʻana i ka lā.

I kēia manawa, e hoʻomaka kākou i ka pahuhopu nui a kākou i hele mai ai i Pokhara, he pūʻulu o nā hana hoʻohiwahiwa hoihoi e kali nei iā mākou. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho a koho a hoʻāʻo iā lākou a pau.

ʻO kekahi o ia mau hana, ʻo ia ka paragliding ma ka ʻāina e like me ke kāleka leka e haʻalele ana mai Sarangkot Hill. ʻO kēia huakaʻi pōkole 30 mau minuke me ka hauʻoli kekahi o nā ala palekana e ʻike ai i ka nani o Pokhara.

I kēia manawa, hoʻomākaukau ʻoe iā ʻoe iho no ka huakaʻi hoʻohiwahiwa ma kekahi o nā laina zip kiʻekiʻe loa mai Sarangkot. He 56 degere kona, he 1800 m ka lō'ihi, a he 600 m ke ku'e. E hele ana kēia hana ma ka makani makani he 140 km i kēlā me kēia hola ma ka lani nani o Pokhara.

Inā makemake ʻoe i ka adrenaline, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke komo pū i ka lele bungee mai Hemja, Pokhara. E lawe ʻoe i ka lele wiwo ʻole mai ke kiʻekiʻe kupaianaha o 75 m e ʻike i ka wikiwiki o ke kūʻokoʻa piha.

No nā ana palekana, ua lako pono nā kumu aʻo bungee jump me ka ʻenehana ʻokiʻoki a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kaula e hoʻomanawanui i ke kaumaha o kou kino.

Eia hou, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i ka skydiving e hoʻomaka ana mai ke kiʻekiʻe o 13000 ft mai ka Pame Danda. ʻO ka ʻāpana hāʻule like nō hoʻi he mauʻu uliuli ākea ma waena o nā puʻu he 11 km wale nō ka mamao mai Pokhara.

No ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka hopena hoihoi i kāu huakaʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i kahi lele ultralight ma luna o nā pā Dhaulagiri a me Annapurna. Me nā wikiwiki mai 50 a 90 km i kēlā me kēia hola, e piʻi aʻe ʻoe ma luna o 5000 m a ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona weliweli o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Pokhara holoʻokoʻa.

I ka wanaʻao, e haʻalele mākou no kā mākou huakaʻi i ka Pāka National Chitwan. ʻO ka Prithvi Highway e lilo hou i mau hoa hilinaʻi e alakaʻi iā mākou ma o nā kūlanakauhale nani o Byas a me Bandipur.

Me ka mālie, e alakaʻi ko mākou ala iā mākou ma nā pāpū ākea Terai e alakaʻi iā mākou i ka puʻuwai o Chitwan. Ua uhi ʻia ka paka aupuni o Chitwan i ka 953 square km a ua hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1973.

I ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka pāʻani o nā aliʻi aliʻi, ua lilo kēia paka ma ke ʻano he puʻuhonua no nā ʻano manu he 450 a me nā holoholona hihiu like ʻole me ka tiger Bengal paʻakikī, nā hyena, nā leopards, nā ʻelepani, a me nā rhinoceros hoʻokahi-horned. ʻO ka paka ka home o nā iʻa Gangetic me nā mea kolo like ʻole e like me nā pythons a me nā crocodiles.

Ma hope o ko mākou noho ʻana i ko mākou noho ʻana, e hele mākou i kahi huakaʻi nahele pōkole me ko mākou alakaʻi. E hōʻike mai ka poʻe loea nahele o ka Pāka iā mākou i kekahi mau ʻike e pili ana i ka Pāka a me kona ʻano olaola.

Ma hope o ke ahiahi, hiki iā mākou ke kipa aku i ka ʻohana Tharu a me ko lākou kauhale ma Sauraha kahi i kūkulu ʻia ai kahi hale hōʻikeʻike hale liʻiliʻi e hōʻike i ko lākou nohona kuʻuna, nā mea hale, a me nā mea waiwai.

A laila, hiki iā mākou ke hele i ka hōʻike hula moʻomeheu o nā kāne a me nā wahine ʻo Tharu i kapa ʻia ʻo Tharu Stick Dance.

ʻO ka huakaʻi hele ma Chitwan National Park. (B/L/D) I kēia lā, hoʻolālā ʻia ka lā holoʻokoʻa me nā hana leʻaleʻa nahele ma ka paka. E hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi me ka huakaʻi ululāʻau kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke koho e holo ma ke kua o ka elepani, e hele wāwae ma ka wao nahele, a i ʻole ka pōʻai ma ke ala.

ʻO ka hele wāwae ka mea maikaʻi loa e hiki ai iā mākou ke ʻike pono i ka holoholona hihiu. ʻElua mau alakaʻi kūloko me mākou, ʻo kekahi ma mua e alakaʻi i ko mākou ala a ʻo kekahi ma hope no ko mākou palekana.

ʻO kekahi koho maikaʻi a palekana hoʻi ʻo ia ka Jeep Safari. E kū ka mea hoʻokele i kēlā me kēia ʻike ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu a i ʻole nā ​​hiʻohiʻona kupanaha no laila e loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa nui e hopu iā lākou i kā mākou pahu pahu. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ke koho e hele i kahi safari pōkole 4-hola a i ʻole kahi mākaʻikaʻi holoʻokoʻa.

Ma hope o kēia, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolimalima i ka waʻa a i ʻole ka waʻa a hele e kaʻa ma luna o ka wai Rapti e ʻike i nā koʻokoʻo a me nā manu wai like ʻole. Hiki iā mākou ke ʻimi i nā muliwai ʻo Narayani a me Reu ma ka moku.

No ka hoʻopau ʻana i kā mākou huakaʻi, hiki iā mākou ke kipa aku i nā hale hānai ʻelepani a me nā crocodile ma kahi kokoke i Chitwan Park.

ʻO kēia ka lā hope loa o kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi Annapurna. Mai Chitwan, e hele mākou ma ke alanui Sauraha e hele ana i ke alanui Mahendra ma Bharatpur. Ma hope o ka huli ʻana i ka ʻākau, e haʻalele mākou i ke alanui bypass a hoʻomau i kā mākou kaʻa ma ke alanui Narayangadh - Muglin Highway.

A laila e alakaʻi ko mākou ala iā mākou ma ke alanui Prithvi a hiki mākou i Kurintar, Darechok. Maʻaneʻi, e kipa mākou i ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa e lawe iā mākou i ka piko o ka puʻu kiʻekiʻe 1300 m kahi i loaʻa ai ka luakini hoʻokō makemake.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā luakini Hindu kaulana a kaulana loa o ke Akua Durga, ua manaʻo ʻia he kahua pohihihi i hoʻohanohano ʻia no ʻelima mau kenekulia.

Ma hope o ka puja a me ke kipa ʻana, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma ke alanui Prithvi a hiki i Trishuli a hiki i Kathmandu. Eʻoliʻoli i ke ahiahi kūʻai a puni no nā mea kahiko kahiko ma ke alanui o Basantapur.

A laila e kali ana kahi pāʻina aloha aloha iā ʻoe i loko o ka lewa leʻaleʻa o ke mele a me ka hula.
