Yiba namava kwii-Himalayas, Phakamisa uMoya wakho

Amava ethu nge-Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours yayiyintshayelelo emnandi kakhulu kwixesha lethu lokuqala eNepal. Yonke indawo ekuyiwa kuyo kuhambo ibonelele ngento eyodwa, kwaye lonke ukhenketho lugqithise kakhulu besilindele.

Ukususela ekuqaleni, uMnumzana Bhagwat, umnini wenkampani, wayephendula ngokumangalisayo kwii-imeyile zethu ezininzi kunye nemiyalezo-phambi nangexesha lohambo. Wadibana nathi ngokobuqu kwihotele yethu yokuqala neyokugqibela, yaye ngobubele wasikhupha kwisidlo sokuvalelisa ngobusuku bethu bokugqibela, apho safumana ithuba lokubuza yonke imibuzo esasinayo ngobomi eNepal. IsiNgesi sakhe sigqwesileyo-ayothusi xa enikwa iminyaka yakhe esixhenxe yokufunda e-UK-kwaye ngenene saziva sikhathalelwe kulo lonke uhambo.

Ukukhankanywa okukhethekileyo kwakhona kufuneka kubhekiswe kumqhubi wethu, uMnu. Subash, ongazange aphumelele. Wahamba nathi ngokukhuselekileyo nangokukhululekileyo kwiimeko zendlela ezinomngeni ngokwenene kunye nesiphithiphithi sezithuthi ngobuchule obumangalisayo nobungcali. Wayesinyamekela kakhulu, yaye ukuzola kwakhe kwasenza saziva sikhuselekile yaye sithuthuzelekile.

Siye kwi-Everest Base Camp (EBC) uhambo nge-Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours ngoDisemba kwaye saba namava amangalisayo azaliswe ziinkumbulo ezingalibalekiyo zaseNepal. Umbulelo wethu osuk’ entliziyweni uya kuBhagwat, uPrakash, noMingma—baye basinyamekela ngendlela ebalaseleyo kwasekuqaleni.

UBhagwat wayenomonde kwaye ecokisekile ekuphenduleni yonke imibuzo yethu yaphambi kohambo, ukusuka kwizindululo zezixhobo kunye neemeko zemozulu ukuya kwiselula kunye nokufumaneka kweWi-Fi ecaleni kwendlela. Wade wadibana nathi ngokobuqu kwihotele yethu ngosuku lokuqala kwiseshoni yengcaciso ebanzi, ecaleni kwesikhokelo sethu uPrakash, ukuqinisekisa ukuba silungiselele ngokupheleleyo. Baphonononge izixhobo zethu, baphendula imibuzo yomzuzu wokugqibela, kwaye baqinisekisa ukuba siziva sinentembelo ngaphambi kokuba sihambe.

Umkhenkethisi wethu uPrakash wayebalasele ngokwenene. Ngolwazi lwakhe olunzulu lweendlela zokuhamba, imbali yasekuhlaleni, inkcubeko kunye nabantu, wayefana ne-encyclopedia ehambayo. Kulo lonke uhambo, wasigcina esazi kakuhle malunga nezicwangciso zemihla ngemihla kunye noko kufuneka sikulindele, wabeka esweni iimeko zethu zomzimba kunye nokuqhelaniswa, kwaye wagxininisa ukufakwa kwamanzi okufanelekileyo kunye nokhuseleko ngamaxesha onke. Ndaziva ndikhuselekile ngokupheleleyo kwaye ndixhaswa phantsi kokhokelo lwakhe.

UMingma, owayesebenzisana noPrakash, wayenomdla ngokulinganayo, esoloko esijongile kwaye eqinisekisa ukuba siphila tofotofo. Kwanaxa iimeko ezingalindelekanga zazifuna ukuba sitshintshe indlela esasiyihambile, bobabini uPrakash noMingma bayisingatha le meko ngobuchule obukhethekileyo, ngenyameko nangobubele, beqinisekisa ukuba sasinyanyekelwa kakuhle de sibuyele eKathmandu ngokukhuselekileyo.

Ngokwenene sasisezandleni ezibalaseleyo, yaye la mava aye alwenza nzulu uxabiso lwethu ngeNepal. Andizukuthandabuza ukubhukisha nge-Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours kwakhona kulo naluphi na uhambo oluzayo-kucetyiswa kakhulu!

Molo Bhagwat,

UJim kunye nam singathanda ukudlulisa umbulelo wethu ongazenzisiyo ngohambo olubalaseleyo lwe-Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). Ubuhle obumangalisayo be-Himalaya buthetha ngokwawo, ngoko ke singathanda ukugqamisa inkonzo ekhethekileyo enikezelwa ngumkhokeli wethu, uMnu. Badri Karki, kunye nomgcini-sango oqinileyo nozinikeleyo, uPerlad. La manene abalaseleyo adlale indima ebalulekileyo ekuqinisekiseni ukuba uhambo lwethu luyonwabela kwaye alulibaleki kangangoko sinako.

Kulo lonke uhambo, babehlala bechwayitile, benomonde, kwaye becinga—ingakumbi ngala maxesha apho sasidinga unqumamo rhoqo ukuze siphefumle kwaye sizolise iintliziyo zethu ezibalekayo. Sikholelwa ngokwenene ukuba ukuquka i-Ghorepani loop kuhambo lwethu ibe sisigqibo esihle kakhulu, njengoko kusincedile ukuba sakhe ukuqina kwethu kwaye siphucule ukomelela kwe-cardio yethu ngaphambi kokunyuka kokugqibela ukuya kwi-ABC.

I-Badri ibingumthombo wolwazi obalaseleyo-hayi kuphela ngejografi yalapha, izityalo, kunye nezilwanyana, kodwa nangenkcubeko yaseNepalese kunye nezihloko ezibanzi zehlabathi. Ukuqonda kwakhe kwaphucula uhambo lwethu ngeendlela ezininzi ezinentsingiselo.

Sikwafuna ukuvakalisa umbulelo wethu ngonxibelelwano olungenamthungo kunye nani kuyo yonke inkqubo yocwangciso. Amandla enu alungileyo kunye nobuhlobo bokwenene businike ukuzithemba okukhulu kumalungiselelo. Isidlo sangokuhlwa sokuba ndlela-ntle kunye nabadanisi bemveli baseNepali ibe sisiphelo esimnandi nesicingayo kuhambo olungalibalekiyo.

Enkosi kwakhona, i-Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours, ngokwenza amava akhethekileyo.

Ngokuhle okuphuma entlizweni eshushu,
UKeith M. kunye noJim S.
