ʻO ka Trek Dolpo Shey Gompa luna

Ke pae ʻoe ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Tribhuvan International ma Kathmandu, Nepal, e hoʻokipa maikaʻi aku kā mākou poʻe limahana o ka Himalayan Adventure Treks iā ʻoe.

E kōkua lākou iā ʻoe i ka hoʻouka ʻana i kāu ukana i loko o ke kaʻa o kā mākou hui a e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i kāu hōkele 3-hōkū ma ke Alanui ʻo Thamel paʻahana.

A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke noho a hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe iho. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i waho o kou hōkele a ʻimi i ke Alanui ʻo Thamel, e kipa aku i nā hale ʻaina, nā hale ʻaina, nā hale kūʻai, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe āu e makemake ai.

Ma hope iho, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i kou hōkele e hiamoe maikaʻi i ka pō ma kēia huakaʻi Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa.

Ma kēia lā ʻelua o ka huakaʻi hele ʻana ma Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa he 24 lā, e loaʻa mau ana kahi alakaʻi me ʻoe nāna e kōkua iā ʻoe e mākaʻikaʻi i ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu a hiki i ke awakea.

ʻO nā wahi nui āu e kipa aku ai i kēia lā ʻo Patan Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, a me Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Ma hope o kahi huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi hapalua lā, e kipa aku ʻoe i kā mākou hui, ʻo Himalayan Adventure Treks, no kahi hoʻolauna pōkole i ka papa hana Upper Dolpo Trek.

A laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kāu ʻeke e ʻike ai inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā mea āpau e pono ai no kēia huakaʻi lōʻihi ma ka ʻāina ʻo Dolpo.

A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolilo i kou ahiahi e hana ana i ka kūʻai ʻana i nā lako a me nā lole i ka minuke hope loa.

I kēia lā, pono kākou e ala koke e holo i kahi mokulele i Nepalgunj i ka manawa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia. E kiʻi kā mākou kaʻa iā ʻoe i ke kakahiaka a lawe iā ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele.

A laila e lele mākou i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Nepalgunj. Ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana i kahi e hele ai, e kalaiwa mākou i ka hōkele no ka pō. I kēia lā, e hoʻolilo mākou i ko mākou lā ma kēia kūlanakauhale ma mua o ka hele wāwae ʻana i ka ʻāina ʻo Dolpo.

Hiki iā kākou ke hoʻolilo i ko kākou manawa leʻaleʻa e ʻimi ana i nā mākeke kūloko a i ʻole nā ​​bazaar o Nepalgunj. Pēlā nō, hiki iā kākou ke kipa aku i kekahi mau luakini a i ʻole ka Gopal Baba Ashram e ʻike i ka moʻomeheu kūloko.

Nui nō hoʻi nā mea hiki iā mākou ke hana i ko mākou noho ʻana ma kēia kūlanakauhale, e like me ka hele wāwae ʻana ma kahakai o ka muliwai, ke kipa ʻana i nā paka liʻiliʻi, a i ʻole ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā meaʻai Tharu kūloko a i ʻole nā ​​​​meaʻai Nepali.

I ka lā ʻehā o ka pūʻolo Upper Shey Gompa Trek, ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma ka hōkele, e hele mākou i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Nepalgunj no kahi lele pōkole a nani hoʻi i Juphal, ke poʻo o ke ala no kēia huakaʻi hoihoi ma ka ʻāpana ʻo Dolpo o Nepal. Ke hiki mākou i Juphal, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i lalo i Kalaguada.

Mai ʻaneʻi aku, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma hope o ka muliwai ʻo Thuli Bheri Khola. Ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana no ʻekolu a ʻehā hola, e hōʻea mākou i Dunai, ke kikowaena hoʻomalu o Dolpa.

Eia kekahi, ʻo kēia ko mākou noho mua ʻana i ka pō ma ka hele wāwae, e hōʻailona ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka huakaʻi maoli ma nā uka ma kēia huakaʻi Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek.

I kēia lā, e ala ʻoe i ka hanu ʻana i ka ea mauna hou a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ma ke Kauhale ʻo Dunai. E hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka momona me ke kīʻaha tī wela.

ʻO ke kahua aʻe ma kēia huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa ʻo Chhepka Village. Ma ke ala, e komo mākou i ka Shey Phoksundo National Park a kū ma kahi e nānā ai ʻo Silughar e kiʻi i nā palapala ʻae ʻē aʻe e pono ai e hoʻomau i kā mākou huakaʻi.

A laila, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma ke kahawai ʻo Phoksundo Khola, e hele ana ma waena o nā ululāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka loli mālie o ke ʻano o ka ʻāina.

Ma ke ala, e hele wāwae pū mākou ma mua o nā kauhale ʻo Kageni, Jutting, a me Shangta a keʻa i kahi alahaka ma ka hui ʻana o nā muliwai ʻo Maiba lāua ʻo Phoksundo Khola.

Ma hope iho, e hele mākou i ka ʻākau e hiki i ke kauhale ʻo Chhepka ma kēia huakaʻi ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek.

Ma ka lā 6 o ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa he 24 lā, e hele mākou ma ke ala e hele ana ma waena o nā ululāʻau nani ma kahi muliwai wili, me ka hui pū ʻana o kekahi mau ʻāpana piʻi a me nā ʻāpana iho.

Ma ke ala, e hele wāwae pū mākou ma mua o ke Kauhale ʻo Reechi, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā dzopas, he mau ʻano bipi kāne i hui pū ʻia me ka yak.

Ma hope o Reechi, hoʻomau ka huakaʻi i Palam. E hele mākou ma waena o nā kahawai liʻiliʻi he nui a me nā ʻanuʻu i kālai ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka puʻu.

A laila, e hōʻea mākou i Palam ma hope o ʻeono a ʻehiku hola, e moe ana mai ke Kauhale ʻo Chhepka.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma luna o nā mauna mai kēia wahi nani e pani ai i kēia lā o ka pūʻolo Upper Dolpo Trek.

Ma kēia lā ʻehiku o ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Upper Dolpo he 24 lā, e hōʻea mākou i kekahi o nā wahi koʻikoʻi: ʻo Shey Phoksundo Lake, kahi āu e lawe ai mai kēia huakaʻi.

E hele mākou ma ke ala e lawe iā mākou ma waena o nā ululāʻau kedera, a laila i kahi mākaʻikaʻi kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i kahi wailele kupaianaha.

Mai ʻaneʻi aku, e hele mākou i lalo ma waena o nā ululāʻau paina mālie a hiki i ke Kauhale ʻo Ringmo. Ua hahai ka poʻe kamaʻāina e noho ana ma kēia kauhale i ka hoʻomana kahiko ʻo Bon Po.

Ma hope iho, e hele mākou ma ke alahaka ma lalo o ke kauhale a hele i ka ʻākau e hiki i ke kahakai o ka loko ʻo Phoksundo, kahi e hoʻonohonoho ai mākou i kahi hoʻomoana no ka pō.

ʻO ka lā ʻewalu kekahi o nā lā poina ʻole āu e hauʻoli nui ai ma kēia pūʻolo huakaʻi 24 lā ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa.

E hoʻohana mākou i ko mākou lā holoʻokoʻa e ʻimi ai a puni ka loko ʻo Shey Phoksundo ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ʻono i loko o ka halelewa.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hae kala e peahi ana ma ke kahakai ākea o ka loko, kahi e hoʻohui ai i ka ʻoluʻolu uhane i ka lewa.

I ko mākou holoholo ʻana a puni ka ʻāina, e hālāwai paha kākou me kahi caravan yak, ka mea e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi manaʻo no ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana o ka poʻe ma kēia wahi.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻawale i kou manawa e nānā i ke kaiapuni a hopu i nā kiʻi kupaianaha e mālama i nā hoʻomanaʻo o ka loko.

Ma hope iho, hiki iā mākou ke kipa aku i nā hale mōneka kokoke me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke koena o ko mākou lā. I kēia pō, e hoʻolilo mākou i hoʻokahi pō hou e hoʻomoana ai i loko o kahi halelewa ma mua o ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou huakaʻi i ka lā aʻe.

I kēia lā, e komo kūhelu ana mākou i ka ʻāina i kaupalena ʻia ʻo Upper Dolpo, e haʻalele ana mai ka loko ʻo Shey Phoksundo i ke kakahiaka ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui. E hahai mākou i ke ala i hoʻohana ʻia e nā kamaʻāina e kālepa ai me Tibet.

I ko mākou piʻi ʻana i luna, hiki iā ʻoe ke komo i loko o nā hiʻohiʻona ākea o ke awāwa ʻo Ringmo. Mai ʻaneʻi aku, iho ke ala i lalo ma mua o ka piʻi hou ʻana ma waena o kahi awāwa ākea.

Ma ke ala, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o Kanjirowa Himal, nona ke kiʻekiʻe he 6612 mika. E hoʻomau mākou ma waena o ka ʻāpana alpine, kahi i ulu nui ʻia me nā lāʻau juniper.

Ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana no ʻehā a ʻelima mau hola, e hōʻea mākou i Salla Ghari, ko mākou wahi kū no ka pō ma kēia huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa.

ʻO kā mākou wahi kū aʻe o ka lā, ʻo Lar Tsa ia, he 4120 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai. E hele mākou ma waena o ke awāwa, e hele ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ka muliwai ʻo Phoksundo Khola, a e hoʻomau ma ke awāwa nui no hoʻokahi hola a hiki i Kang Gompa. Mai ʻaneʻi aku, e piʻi mākou i luna o kahi kualono mauʻu.

Ke hoʻomau nei i ka huakaʻi, e hahai mākou i ka piko o ka puʻu ma kahi o 4200 mika ma mua o ka iho ʻana i Lar Tsa.

He kahua hoʻomoana ma ka muliwai ia e kūpono ana no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā mea hele wāwae. A laila, e hoʻonohonoho kā mākou alakaʻi i nā halelewa e noho ma ʻaneʻi no hoʻokahi pō ma mua o ko mākou hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou wahi koʻikoʻi o ka huakaʻi, ʻo Shey Gompa.

Ma kēia lā ʻumikūmākahi o ka huakaʻi hele ʻana ma Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa he 24 lā, e hele mākou i ka ʻāpana o luna o ka muliwai ʻo Phoksundo Khola ma mua o ko mākou huli ʻana i ka ʻākau i Riwo Drugdra, i kapa ʻia hoʻi ʻo Crystal Mountain.

Ma kahi huina o ke ala hele, e hahai mākou i ke ala huakaʻi e hoʻopuni ana i ka mauna a hiki i ka Sela La Pass.

Ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana i luna, e hōʻea mākou i Sela La Pass, i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo Mendok Ding La, ma 5160 mika, kahi e ʻike ʻia ai ʻoe i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke awāwa ʻo Phoksundo, nā piko i uhi ʻia i ka hau o ka pae ʻo Kanjirowa, nā pae kiʻekiʻe pau ʻole, a me nā mea hou aku. A laila mai kēia ala, e iho mākou i lalo i ke awāwa ʻo Tar.

I ko mākou hoʻokokoke ʻana aku i nā pali mauʻu haʻahaʻa, e hele wāwae mākou ma ke ala ʻaoʻao i Tsakang, he gompa kahiko.

Ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana he 7 a 8 mau hola mai Lar Tse mai, e hōʻea mākou i ko mākou wahi i manaʻo ʻia. E hoʻonohonoho mākou i ko mākou kahua hoʻomoana ma lalo pono o Shey Gompa no ka pō.

Ma kēia lā ʻumikūmālua o ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa, ua pau ka hapalua o kā mākou huakaʻi. E noho mākou i hoʻokahi lā hou ma Shey Gompa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa a ʻimi.

E kipa aku mākou i ka Hale Mōneka ʻo Shey Gompa i ke kakahiaka, kahi i manaʻo ʻia he 800 mau makahiki kona mau makahiki. I loko, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā kiʻi pena i hana ʻia i nā makahiki 1970.

Aia ma ke kuahu nui nā kiʻi o ke Guru Rinpoche kaulana, Milarepa, a me Sakyamuni. Aia pū kekahi i loko o kēia hale mōneka kahi palapala Tibet kahiko e haʻi ana i ka mōʻaukala o ka Crystal Mountain a me ka hale mōneka. Ma hope o ke kipa ʻana i ka hale mōneka, hiki iā kākou ke ʻimi i ka ʻāina a puni.

Hiki iā mākou ke hele i Crystal Mountain, i kapa ʻia hoʻi ʻo Kailash o Dolpo, i ʻike ʻia no kāna mau ʻano kristal quartz kūlohelohe e ʻālohilohi ana i ka lā.

I ka wā o ka mahina piha i Iulai a i ʻole ʻAukake, hele mai ka nui o nā malihini ma ʻaneʻi e hana i kahi kora (kaapuni ʻana) a puni ka mauna. A laila, ma hope o ka ʻimi ʻana i kēia mauna, e hoʻi mākou i ka halelewa no ka hoʻomaha.

Ma hope o kahi lā hōʻoluʻolu i nehinei, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma waena o nā ululāʻau juniper a me nā awāwa pōhaku, e hahai ana i ke ala wili i Saldang La Pass.

He paʻakikī akā he uku ka piʻi ʻana i ke ala, me nā hiʻohiʻona o nā mauna i uhi ʻia i ka hau, nā kauhale, nā pali, a me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o Upper Dolpo.

Mai ke alahele, hele mākou i ka ʻākau a i ke Kauhale ʻo Namgung. I ka hiki ʻana i kēia kauhale nani, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i ka Hale Mōneka ʻo Namgung.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke Chyangra, kahi ʻano kao Himalayan i hoʻohana ʻia no kona huluhulu pashmina maikaʻi. I kēia pō, e noho mākou no ka pō ma kēia huakaʻi o ka pūʻolo Upper Dolpo Trek.

Ma kēia lā ʻumikumamāhā o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi he 24 lā ma Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa, e haʻalele mākou iā Namgung Village a hele aku i kekahi kauhale nani ʻē aʻe, ʻo Saldang.

E hahai mākou i ke kahawai ʻo Namga Khola a hala i kekahi mau wahi hānai holoholona kuʻuna i hoʻohana ʻia e nā kahu holoholona kūloko. I loko o 5 a 6 mau hola, e hōʻea mākou i kēia kauhale.

ʻO Saldang kekahi o nā kauhale nui loa a nani hoʻi ma Upper Dolpo, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mahina ʻai ākea a me nā puʻu ʻōwili.

E kipa aku mākou i ka hale kī, kahi e moe ai mākou i ka pō. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻawale i kou manawa e ʻimi ai i ke kauhale a hui me nā kamaʻāina aloha. Hoʻohuli nui ka moʻomeheu Buddhist kahiko i kēia kauhale.

I kēia lā, e haʻalele kākou i ke Kauhale ʻo Saldang a e hele aku i kahi kauhale nani ʻē aʻe, ʻo Sibu, e waiho ana ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 4000 mika ma kēia huakaʻi ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa.

Hele ke ala ma waena o kekahi mau stupa, chorten, pā mani, a me nā mahina ʻai i hoʻolālā ʻia. Ma ke ala, ua hele pū mākou ma mua o kekahi mau kauhale kahiko.

Pēlā nō, e hele mākou i ke kahawai hohonu a hiki i ke kuli i ʻelua manawa ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i kahi hoʻomoana. Ke hoʻokokoke aku nei mākou i ko mākou wahi i hele ai, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻāina ākea a puni i piha i nā lāʻau juniper paʻakikī a ʻoʻoi.

I ke ahiahi, e hōʻea mākou i ke kauhale ʻo Sibu, kahi e moe ai mākou i ka pō.

Ma ka lā 16 o ka papa hana 24 lā o ka Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek, ʻo ko mākou wahi kū aʻe o ka lā ʻo Jeng La ma 4480 mika.

E hoʻomaka kākou i kā kākou huakaʻi ma ke ala mālie i kūpono no ka hele wāwae mālie i ke kakahiaka.

E hele wāwae mākou no kekahi mau hola ma mua o ke keʻa ʻana i kahi muliwai liʻiliʻi a hoʻomau i ke ala ʻōwili e hele ana ma mua o kekahi mau kaiāulu.

I ka hōʻea ʻana i Jeng La, e hoʻonohonoho kā mākou alakaʻi i kahi hoʻomoana no ka noho ʻana i ka pō. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i ka lewa mālie o kēia wahi a hoʻomaha no ka huakaʻi o ka lā aʻe, kahi e lawe ai iā ʻoe i ke Kauhale mālie ʻo Tokyu Gaon.

I kēia lā, e lawe kā mākou huakaʻi iā mākou i ke kauhale ʻo Tokyu Gaon ma 4240 mika. Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ʻono, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi a piʻi i ka piko e hele ma ke ala ʻo Jeng La Pass, kahi e kū ana ma 4,850 mika.

Mai luna mai o ke alahele, e uku ʻia ʻoe me ka panorama o ka Dhaulagiri Massif, ʻo Tarap Valley, a me nā kualono kiʻekiʻe o Himalayan.

I ko mākou hele ʻana i mua, e iho mākou i loko o ke awāwa ʻo Tarap a laila komo i ke awāwa e alakaʻi ana i ka muliwai ʻo Tarap Chu.

ʻO ka lōʻihi o kēia awāwa ma kahi o 20 kilomita, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia me nā kauhale he ʻumi, nā mahina ʻai i mahi ʻia, nā chortens, a me nā gompas he nui. I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ko mākou wahi, e kūkulu mākou i kahi halelewa e hoʻolilo ai i kahi pō mālie.

Ma kēia lā ʻumikumamāwalu o ka huakaʻi he 24 lā ma Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa, e hoʻomaka mākou i ka huakaʻi me ka piʻi ʻana i luna i Kamattarka, kahi e noho ana ma ka hui ʻana o Lang Khola lāua ʻo Tarap Chu.

Ma hope o kekahi mau hola, e haʻalele mākou i ke awāwa haiki a komo i nā ʻāina mauna maloʻo o loko, e hele ana ma luna o ka laina lāʻau ma waena o nā lāʻau juniper a me nā rose hihiu.

I ka hopena, alakaʻi ke ala i Dho Tarap, kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i ke kauhale i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi pā pōhaku ʻano ʻole.

He heluna liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe Tibet e noho ana ma ʻaneʻi, ʻoiai ua noho lōʻihi nā ʻohana Magar ma ia wahi. I kēia pō, e noho mākou ma ʻaneʻi ma mua o ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou wahi e hiki mai ana.

Ma kā mākou huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa, e iho mākou mai Dho Tarap ma 4,200 mika a i ke kauhale ʻo Serkam ma 3,623 mika.

E hele wāwae mākou ma hope o ka muliwai ʻo Tarap Khola. Hele ke ala ma waena o nā kualono pali a me nā awāwa kahi e kahe ai ka muliwai ma lalo. Ma ke ala, e hālāwai paha ʻoe me nā huakaʻi lio, nā yaks, a me nā miula.

I ka neʻe ʻana i mua, e hele mākou ma ke ala maikaʻi aʻe, e hele ana ma ke alahaka kila hou. Ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana he 5 a 6 hola mai Dho Tarap e uhi ana i 13 kilomita, e hōʻea mākou i ke Kauhale ʻo Serkam, kahi e noho ai mākou i ka pō, e ʻono ana i kahi meaʻai ʻono.

Ma ka lā 20 o ka Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek, e haʻalele mākou iā Serkam Village a hoʻomau i Tarakot.

I ko mākou hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou huakaʻi ma waena o nā wahi nani, e hōʻea mākou i ke awāwa nui a momona ʻo Barbung Chu. A laila, e hoʻomau ana i kā mākou huakaʻi, e hōʻea mākou i Tarakot ma hope o ka huakaʻi hele wāwae he 6 a 7 hola.

I kēia lā, e kū mākou ma kēia kauhale ʻo Tarakot ma mua o ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i Dunai ma kēia huakaʻi Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek.

He kūlanakauhale pā kaua kahiko ʻo Tarakot i ʻike mua ʻia ʻo Dzong, kahi i lawelawe ma ke ʻano he kapikala ma mua o ka moʻokūʻauhau Gorkha. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i kēia kauhale ma kou wikiwiki ponoʻī a hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o nā wahi e puni ana.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka piha, e hoʻi mākou ma ke alahele nani ma mua o ka hele wāwae ʻana ma luna o ka muliwai ʻo Thuli Bheri Khola.

E hoʻomaha a hoʻomaha hoʻi ka huakaʻi hele wāwae, ʻoiai ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hele ma nā ʻāpana piʻi. Ma hope o kahi huakaʻi hele wāwae he 5 a 6 mau hola mai Tarakot mai, e hōʻea mākou i ka Dunai.

A laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke noho i loko o kahi hale kī a hoʻomaha i kēia lā hoihoi o ka huakaʻi Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trek.

Ma hope o kekahi hoʻomaha ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolōʻihi i kou manawa e ʻimi ai i ka ʻāina a puni a noʻonoʻo i ka ʻike kupaianaha i loaʻa iā mākou no kahi o ʻekolu pule ma ka puʻuwai o nā mauna ʻo Dolpo.

Ma ka lā 22 o ka papa hana 24 lā o Upper Shey Gompa Trek, e hoʻopau ʻoe i ka lā hele wāwae hope loa i kou hele ʻana i Juphal, ke poʻo o ke ala no kēia huakaʻi kupaianaha.

E iho mākou i lalo, e waiho ana i ka laina lāʻau ma hope. A laila e hele mākou ma ke ala ʻāʻī e maʻalahi ke hele, me nā ʻāpana piʻi ʻole.

Ke hōʻea mākou i Juphal, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaha ma ka hale kī ma hope o kahi lā lōʻihi o ka hele wāwae ma ka ʻāina mamao ʻo Dolpo ma Nepal.

I ke ahiahi, e hoʻolauleʻa mākou i kā mākou hoʻopau pono ʻana i ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa me nā alakaʻi a me nā mea lawe ukana ma ka ʻai ʻana i kahi pāʻina ʻono a me nā mea inu.

Ua hiki i ka manawa e hoʻopau ai i kā mākou huakaʻi hele wāwae poina ʻole ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa, ʻoiai mākou e holo ana i kahi mokulele mauna pōkole mai Juphal a i Nepalgunj.

Ke pae mākou ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Nepalgunj, e kau mākou i kahi mokulele pili i Kathmandu. I ke awakea, e hōʻea mākou i ke kapikala ola o Nepal, ʻo Kathmandu.

A laila, e hoʻokuʻu mākou iā ʻoe i kou hōkele ʻekolu hōkū ma Thamel, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau a hoʻomaha paha ma hope o kahi huakaʻi hoihoi a mākou e hoʻomaka pū ai ma kēia huakaʻi ʻo Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa o kahi huakaʻi 24 lā.

Ma hope aku, hiki iā ʻoe ke auwana ma nā alanui liʻiliʻi o ke alanui ʻo Thamel e kūʻai i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke lawe i ka home.
