I ka pae koke ʻana o kāu mokulele i ka Tribhuvan International Airstrip (TIA), aia ma ke kūlanakauhale ola o Kathmandu, e hoʻomaka mua kāu huakaʻi huakaʻi 7 lā pōkole Nepal Bhutan Tour. E loaʻa nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ka ʻono o ka nani maoli o Nepal ke lele ʻoe i Nepal a pae mai kou ʻāina.

E hui ʻoe i kā mākou hui Himalayan Adventure Treks ma ke kahua mokulele. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maʻalahi iā lākou no ka mea e kū ana lākou ma ka papa hōʻailona e paʻa ana i kou inoa a me kā mākou hui. No laila, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo no kēia ʻāpana. Pēlā nō, e mālama ʻia kāu mau ukana a me nā kaʻina hoʻopaʻa inoa e kā mākou hui no kāu huakaʻi hele.

Ma hope o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā kaʻina hana visa a me Nepal, e hoʻoneʻe ʻoluʻolu ʻoe ma o kā mākou kelepona pilikino i kahi hōkele ma Thamel. ʻO Thamel ka ʻoi loa o ka ikaika a me ka mākaʻikaʻi kaiāulu ma Kathmandu City ma muli o kona lewa uila.

Nui nā hale kūʻai hoʻomanaʻo, nā mea hana lima, nā hale ʻaina, nā hale ʻai ma luna o ka hale, a me nā hale kūʻai o waho i laina ʻia ma kēia alanui pahū o Thamel e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kipa i kēia lā 1 o kāu pōkole Nepal Bhutan Tour package.

E kōkua mākou iā ʻoe e nānā i ka hōkele, a hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i kekahi mau hola e hoʻomaha a hoʻoluliluli i nā luhi huakaʻi. I ke ahiahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi a kaʻahele a puni nā alaloa o nā alanui kala o Thamel i kou wikiwiki. Hāʻawi ʻo Thamel iā ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi o ke ola pō ola o Nepal.

I kēia lā, ʻo kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi o ka pūʻolo huakaʻi pōkole ʻo Nepal Bhutan 7 lā he huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi lā piha o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kathmandu . Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomākaukau i ke kakahiaka a hauʻoli i ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui ma kou hōkele. E kipa aku mākou i kou hōkele e kiʻi iā ʻoe no kēia huakaʻi alakaʻi hoihoi a puni ke kūlanakauhale.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole lawa ka lā hoʻokahi e hopu ai i nā mea a pau a kēia kūlanakauhale e hāʻawi ai, e hoʻopili mākou i kā mākou papa manawa a e kipa aku i nā kahua hoʻoilina honua kaulana ʻehā o UNESCO, kahi āu e ʻike ai i ka hui ʻana o ka moʻomeheu Buddhist a me Hindu i wehewehe pōkole ʻia ma lalo nei:

Luakini ʻo Pashupatinath: ʻO kā mākou ʻike mākaʻikaʻi mua ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kathmandu ʻo ia ka Luakini ʻo Pashupatinath, aia ma ke kapa mālie o ka muliwai ʻo Bagmati. ʻO ia kekahi o nā luakini Hindu hoʻāno loa ma ka Honua, i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no Lord Shiva. I kēlā me kēia Pōʻakahi, piha kēia luakini no ka mea manaʻoʻiʻo ka poʻe haipule Hindu ua ʻoluʻolu maʻalahi ʻo Lord Shiva. No laila, ʻo nā pule i hāʻawi ʻia i kēia lā o ka pule e lawe mai i ka pōmaikaʻi, ka maluhia, a me nā hoʻomaikaʻi.

Pēlā nō, ʻo nā Hindu wale nō i ʻae ʻia e komo i ka hale pagoda-style nui. Ua ʻike ʻia nō hoʻi no kāna mau hana kuni ahi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai, kahi e hoʻomanaʻo ai i kekahi o ka ʻatikala Hindu hohonu o ke ola a me ka hānau hou ʻana. He mea ola loa kēia luakini i ka wā o Maha Shivaratri, no ka mea, hele mai nā kaukani malihini mai nā wahi a puni e hoʻolauleʻa i kēia hanana kūikawā.

ʻO Boudhanath Stupa: E kalaiwa mākou i ka Boudhanath Stupa, aia ma waho o Kathmandu. ʻO kēia stupa kahi hōʻailona maoli o ka Buddhism Tibet. E ʻike ʻoe i kahi dome keʻokeʻo a me nā maka ʻike āpau o Buddha i pena ʻia ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻehā i ka wā e hoʻopuni ana iā ia. Nui nā hale mōneka, nā mea kālepa kūloko, a me nā hale ʻaina maikaʻi e hoʻopuni ana i kēia stupa.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele ma ka ʻaoʻao uaki ʻoiai e wili ana i nā huila pule. He nui nō hoʻi nā mōneka e oli ana i ke oli a puni i ka stupa. Ma hope o ka ʻimi ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i nā hale kūʻai e kūʻai aku ana i nā hae pule, nā mea nani, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Luakini ʻo Swayambhunath: ʻO kā mākou wahi hoʻoilina honua ʻekolu i helu ʻia e UNESCO ʻo ia ka luakini ʻo Swayambhunath, aia ma ka piko o ka puʻu. ʻO ka mea hoihoi nui o kēia luakini ʻo ia ka stupa gula kupaianaha, i hoʻonani ʻia me nā maka ʻike āpau o Buddha, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia e nānā maluhia ana ma luna o ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu.

ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona o kēia heiau, ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻana i nā pūʻali koa keʻokeʻo e holoholo ana ma ka pā. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai ka luakini Monkey. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic weliweli o ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu. Ma hope o ka ʻimi ʻana i kēia luakini ma ke ʻano o kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi pōkole Nepal Bhutan, e hele mākou i ka hopena hope e hoʻopau i ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi.

Kathmandu Durbar Square: Aia ia ma ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale kahiko ʻo Kathmandu, kahi i lilo ai i hale aliʻi o nā Mōʻī Malla. Nui nā luakini ʻano pagoda e hōʻike ana i nā kiʻi lāʻau nani ma ko lākou hoʻolālā waho. ʻO nā mea hoihoi nui o kēia wahi ʻo ia ka Luakini ʻo Kasthamandap, ka Luakini ʻo Taleju Bhawani, ka Luakini ʻo Bhimeshwar, a me nā mea hou aku.

He wahi kūpono kēia wahi e hōʻike ana i ka hui ʻana o ka mōʻaukala a me ke ola o kēia wā ma ke ʻano kaulike. Ma hope o ka ʻimi ʻana iā Basantapur Durbar Square, e hoʻokuke mākou iā ʻoe i kou hōkele ma kēia pūʻulu huakaʻi Nepal a me Bhutan.

I kēia lā ʻekolu o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Nepal Bhutan Tour he 7 mau lā, ʻo Bhutan kā mākou huakaʻi hele aʻe. E haʻalele mākou i ka hōkele i ke kakahiaka ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, me ke kīʻaha kīʻaha mehana o ke kī a i ʻole ke kope. E hoʻokuʻu kaʻa kā mākou hui iā mākou ma ke kahua mokulele. E hopu mākou i kahi lele i Paro, Bhutan.

Ma kēia lele ʻana i Paro , i ka lele ʻana o ka mokulele ma luna o ka lewa mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Tribhuvan, e ʻike ʻia ʻoe i nā panorama kupaianaha o nā piko kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua, e like me Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e nānā ana ma waena o nā ao, e ʻālohilohi ana ma lalo o ka lā. I ka hoʻokokoke ʻana aku i Bhutan, e ʻike ʻoe i ka loli ʻana o ke ʻano o ka ʻāina i nā ʻāina ulu lāʻau o Bhutan.

Ke pae mākou i Bhutan, e hele mākou i ke kaʻina hana kuʻuna a me ka neʻe. E hōʻoia i kāu mau palapala a pau i ka lima. Ma waho o ke kahua hoʻokele, e manaʻo ana kahi mea hoʻokele a me ke alakaʻi Bhutanese iā mākou e hoʻokipa iā lākou me ka ʻakaʻaka, i ʻaʻahu ʻia i nā ʻaʻahu kuʻuna Bhutanese.

A laila, mai Paro, e holo mākou i Thimphu, kahi e lawe ai i hoʻokahi hola a me ka hapa e hiki ai i ke kapikala o Bhutan. I loko o kēia kaʻa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoinu i ka nani o nā mauna kupaianaha a me nā ʻike awāwa ma kēia huakaʻi huakaʻi Nepal-Bhutan pōkole. Pēlā nō, e kaʻana like kā mākou alakaʻi Bhutanese i nā kikoʻī e pili ana i ka moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna o Bhutan ke hele mākou i Thimphu.

Ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana i ke kapikala, e noho mākou i kahi hōkele maʻamau 3-star. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha no kekahi mau hola e hoʻomaha. A laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke holo ma kou ʻano ponoʻī i nā alanui ākea o Thimphu i kēia lā hauʻoli o Nepal a me Bhutan huakaʻi huakaʻi huakaʻi.

Hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka lā ʻehā o ka Short Nepal Bhutan Tour itinerary no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i nā mea koʻikoʻi loa o Thimphu City. E hele mākou i kahi huakaʻi pilikino ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui ma ka hōkele. E kali ana kā mākou kaʻa ma waho o ka hōkele ma ke kahua kaʻa.

E hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi Thimphu ma ke kipa mua ʻana i ka National Memorial Chorten, a ma laila ʻoe e ʻike ai i kahi stupa keʻokeʻo i kūkulu ʻia i hoʻomanaʻo i ke aliʻi ʻekolu o Bhutan, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Father of Modern Bhutan." Ma hope o kēlā, e hoʻokele mākou i ka puʻu i Changangkha Lhakhang, kahi hale puʻu kahiko i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia no ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hoʻomaikaʻi i nā keiki hānau hou a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke kūlanakauhale.

ʻO ka neʻe ʻana, ʻo kā mākou huakaʻi aʻe ma Zilukha Nunnery (Drubthob Goemba), he kula monastic mālie i kūkulu ʻia no nā nuns, aia ma kahi puʻu ma luna o Thimphu. Mai ʻaneʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i ka hiʻohiʻona nani o Tashichho Dzong mai luna mai, kahi mea kupanaha. Ma hope o kēia, e holo pololei mākou i Tashichho Dzong, kahi monastery nui kaulana no ka hale o nā keʻena o ke aliʻi a me ke kino monastic waena.

Ma hope aʻe, e kipa mākou i ka Institute of Traditional Medicine, kahi e mālama ʻia ai nā hana ho'ōla Bhutanese a aʻo ʻia. Hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo pehea e hoʻohui ʻia ai nā mea kanu a me nā hana ʻuhane i loko o ka mālama olakino Bhutanese. A laila, ma hope o kahi kaʻa pōkole mai ʻaneʻi, hiki mākou i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Hoʻoilina Folk.

Ma kēia hale hōʻikeʻike, aia kahi hōʻikeʻike e hōʻike ana i ka moʻomeheu kauhale Bhutanese no ʻoe e ʻike kino. E hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma luna o kēia pōkole Nepal Bhutan huakaʻi huakaʻi, a hele mākou i ka Craft Bazaar.

A laila, kū mākou i mea e ʻai ai i ka ʻaina awakea a nānā i nā hale kūʻai kūloko ma laila. Ua hoʻopau ʻia kā mākou huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma Thimphu ma ka Buddha Dordenma Statue. Ma laila hiki iā ʻoe ke mahalo i kahi Buddha gula nui he 51 mika ke kiʻekiʻe, kaulana loa no kona lewa mālie.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, ma hope o ka leʻaleʻa i kahi huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi holoʻokoʻa ma Thimphu i kēia lā o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi 7-lā Short Nepal Bhutan Tour, e hoʻi mākou i Paro ma ke alanui. I ka hōʻea ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hiamoe maikaʻi ma hope o ka ʻoliʻoli ʻana i kahi pāʻina hoʻomaha no ka lā hauʻoli o ka lā ʻapōpō.

Ma kēia lā ʻelima o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi huakaʻi Nepal Bhutan, e hele ana ʻoe i kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi loa o kēia huakaʻi. ʻO kēia ka lā paʻakikī loa e hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā lā ʻē aʻe o kāu huakaʻi, ʻoiai e hele ana ʻoe i kēia lā i ka Paro Taktsang, ka mea kaulana hoʻi ʻo Tiger's Nest Monastery.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Tiger's Nest Monastery no ka mea, e like me ka moʻolelo Bhutanese, ua lele ʻo Guru Padmasambhava (ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Guru Rinpoche) i kēia wahi pali ma ke kua o ka tigress lele. ʻO ka tigress, i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o kāna mau hoa wahine, ua lawe ʻo ia i ke ʻano o ka tigress lele e lawe iā ia i ka pali kiʻekiʻe kahi o Paro Taktsang.

A laila, noʻonoʻo ʻo Guru Rinpoche i loko o ke ana no ʻekolu mahina, e lanakila ana i nā pūʻali ʻino e lawe mai i ka mālie a me ka pale i kēia wahi pilikia, e hana ana i kahua kapu no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻuhane. Aia kēia monastery ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 900 mika ma luna o ke awāwa. E hoʻomaka mākou i ka huakaʻi i ke kakahiaka nui e hauʻoli i kahi ʻike lehulehu ʻole i kēia lā o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi pōkole Nepal Bhutan Tour.

I ka holo ʻana, pono ʻoe e komo i nā kāmaʻa hiking ikaika, i ka pāpale, a me nā lole ʻoluʻolu. E hele mākou e holoholo, e hele ana i nā ala wiliwili i laina ʻia me nā ululāʻau paina, nā ʻanuʻu pōhaku, a me nā kula. I ka hele ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic o ke awāwa ʻo Paro, nā mauna i uhi ʻia i ka hau, a me ka nani o ka pali.

Ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana i ka Tiger's Nest Monastery, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i ka paʻakikī kapu, ʻike i ka hoʻolālā kū hoʻokahi, a hauʻoli i ka lewa maluhia a me ka ʻuhane. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kekahi mau keʻena luakini, nā heiau, a me nā ana kapu kahi i noʻonoʻo ai ʻo Guru Rinpoche.

Ma waho aʻe o kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomālamalama i nā kukui pata a hāʻawi i nā pule leo ʻole a i ʻole nā ​​​​makemake. A laila, iho mākou a hoʻi i ka hōkele ma Paro. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha maikaʻi a noʻonoʻo i ka huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Nepal Bhutan i kēia lā, nā hoʻomanaʻo, a me nā manawa nani.

Ma kēia lā ʻeono o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Short Nepal Bhutan Tour, e haʻalele mākou iā Bhutan ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma ka hōkele. A laila, e alakaʻi ko mākou alakaʻi Bhutanese iā mākou i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Paro no kā mākou lele hoʻi i Kathmandu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe iho ma ka mahalo ʻana i ka ʻike maka manu o nā papahele ʻōmaʻomaʻo o Paro Valley, nā piko keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo o ka Himalayas e kau ana ma ka palena, a me nā puʻu emerald mai kou puka makani lele i ke kiʻekiʻe o kāu lele mai Paro a Kathmandu.

Ke pae mākou i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kathmandu, e hōʻea mai kahi ʻelele mai Himalayan Adventure Treks ma kahi kaʻa pilikino e hoʻoneʻe iā mākou i ka hōkele, a laila e hoʻopau ai i ka Short Nepal Bhutan Tour. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e hoʻomaha ai a laila e ʻimi i nā wahi ma ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu āu i kipa ʻole ai.

ʻO nā wahi ʻē aʻe e kipa aku ai, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Bhaktapur, i kapa ʻia ʻo City of Bricks, a me nā wahi mōʻaukala e like me Bhaktapur Durbar Square a me Patan Durbar Square, i mālama maikaʻi ʻia a hoʻopiha ʻia me ka hoʻolālā kuʻuna a me ka ikaika o ka wā kahiko, e haʻalele ana iā ʻoe. Ma hope, e hoʻi i ka hōkele, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i ke ola pō o Thamel.
