I-Annapurna Buka Uhambo Olufushane

Isikhathi Esifanele

I-Annapurna View Short Trek ingase yenziwe nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka, kodwa ngesizini ngayinye, izoba ehlukile. Ukuqaphela okulindelekile kuso sonke isimo sezulu kuzosho ukuthi ungalungiselela kusenesikhathi futhi wenze uhambo lube lula.

Esinye sezikhathi ezingcono kakhulu zalolu hambo kusentwasahlobo (Mar–May). Kufudumele, futhi isibhakabhaka ngokuvamile sicwebile njengoba amahlathi e-rhododendron eseqhakazile, okuletha izigcawu ezimibalabala kulo mzila. Kungenzeka ukubona umbono ocacile we-Annapurna, i-Dhauligiri, ne-Machhapuchhre. Izinsuku zivuma, futhi ekuseni nakusihlwa kubanda kancane. Lesi sikhathi sonyaka sizofanelana nezingqimba ezikhanyayo kanye nejazi elivikela umoya.

Isikhathi sezimvula (June–Aug) sixhunywe nemvula enamandla, ngakho-ke, imizila imanzi futhi iyashelela. Kodwa amahlathi aphenduka asha abe luhlaza, futhi izimpophoma ziseqophelweni eliphezulu. Ukubuka kwezintaba kuphambana namafu, amboza ukubukwa kwezintaba ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa umoya uhlanzekile futhi uhlanzekile.

Kufanele ube nejazi elihle lemvula, ibhuzu elingangeni manzi, nesixosha izinambuzane. Isizini nayo ayigcwele kakhulu, okungase kube yinzuzo ekuhambeni okuzothile.

Isikhathi esidume kakhulu sokuhamba ngezinyawo yikwindla (Sep-Nov). Izinzile esimweni sezulu, futhi umoya ucwebile futhi ubonakala kahle kakhulu. Uzoba nezindawo ezinhle zezintaba, indawo yehlathi emibalabala, namazinga okushisa apholile namnandi.

Yisikhathi esihle kakhulu sokuphuma uyothatha izithombe uzizwele isiko. Khumbula ukuthatha izingubo ezilula emini kanye nezingubo zokonga phakathi nobusuku obubandayo.

Ubusika (Dec–Feb) bupholile futhi bunokubukwa okucacile kwezintaba, okunamazinga okushisa abanda kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ekuseni nakusihlwa. Izingxenye ezingaphezulu zomzila zingakhithika. Umzila awunomsindo omncane futhi ubandakanya inani elincane labahambi. Kunesidingo samajakhethi afudumele, amagilavu, amabhuzu ashisayo, nasindayo.

Ukuphakama kanye nebanga

I-Annapurna View Short Trek iwuhambo olulingene futhi olufushane olunqamula izindawo eziphakeme ezihlukahlukene, ezigodini zemifula efudumele ukuya ezindaweni ezipholile ezisezintabeni. Uhambo luqala ukusuka ePokhara ukuphakama okungamamitha angaba ngu-850, futhi phezulu kohambo kuyiPoon Hill, ephakeme ngamamitha angu-3,210.

Ibanga elilinganiselwe lokuhamba lale ndlela lingaba amakhilomitha angama-35-40 ngokususelwa ekuqondeni komzila othathiwe kanye nolunye uhambo oluseceleni. Kuwuhambo olumnandi, futhi uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi umuntu omaphakathi onokuqina okumaphakathi kuthatha cishe amahora ama-3 kuye kwayi-7 ukwenza uhambo lwansuku zonke.

Ngosuku lokuqala, umzila uqala ngokushayela kancane phakathi kwe-Pokhara ne-Nayapul (1,050m) bese uya e-Tikhedhunga (1,570m). Le ngxenye ilula futhi ibushelelezi, eduze nemifula nemizana.

Usuku 2 luqukethe umqansa oya e-Ulleri (2,070m), bese ukhuphuka kancane kancane emahlathini uya e-Ghorepani (2,860m). Iphakathi kwezingxenye ezinzima kakhulu nokho ezanelisayo zohambo.

Usuku lwesi-3 luwumvuthwandaba wohambo, njengoba isiqongo sohambo sizoba yi-Poon Hill (3,210m) futhi ukukhuphuka kuzoba ekuseni kakhulu. Yilapho abahambi benombono omangalisayo wokuphuma kwelanga kwezintaba ze-Annapurna ne-Dhaulagiri. Ngokulandelayo, umzila wehlela e-Tikhedhunga (1,570m) unqamule emahlathini nasezigodini.

Futhi ekugcineni ngoSuku lwesi-4, uhambo lwehlela eNayapul (1,050m) futhi luphothulwa ngedrayivu ebuyela ePokhara (850m). Uhambo luveza inhlanganisela emaphakathi yohambo olukhuphukayo nolwehlayo, okwenza abahamba ngezinyawo bazijwayeze ngokuqhubekayo ekuphakameni; zijabuliswa ngezindawo ezihlukahlukene lapho kuhamba khona umfula kanye nokuhamba emahlathini, kanye nemibono eseduze yentaba.

Ubunzima kanye nokugula kwe-Altitude

I-Annapurna View Short Trek kuthiwa ingolunye lohambo olukhululekile futhi olungenzima kangako esifundeni sase-Annapurna. Futhi kuwuhambo olulula olumaphakathi, olulungele umndeni. Ukuhamba akuwona uchwepheshe futhi akudingi ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile, njengoba kuqukethe imiqansa kanye nesikhathi eside sokuhamba.

Sekukonke, isilinganiso sesikhathi sokuhamba ngezinyawo esithathwa abahambi ngamahora angu-4 kuya kwangu-7 ngosuku lapho bedlula ezitebhisini zamatshe, emizileni yasehlathini, nasezindaweni ezihlala ezintabeni. Isici esinzima kakhulu sohambo ukuhamba komqansa okuhlukumezayo phakathi kwe-Tikhedhunga ne-Ulleri enezitebhisi zamatshe ezingaphezu kuka-3,000.

Le ngxenye iyakhathaza, yize kulula uma umuntu ethatha izinto kancane kancane ngamakhefu ngezikhathi ezithile. Ingxenye esele yokuhamba ayimi kakhulu, kunezindlela eziphawulwe kahle, kanye nezindawo zokuphuza itiye endleleni yokudla nokuphumula. I-Poon Hill (amamitha angu-3,210) yisona siqongo sohambo. Ukuphakama akuphakeme kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nokuhamba okuningi ezintabeni eziphakeme zaseHimalaya, ngakho-ke amathuba okuba nesifo sokuphakama mancane kakhulu.

Noma kunjalo, abanye abagibeli bangase babe nezimpawu ezilula, kuhlanganise nomuzwa wokuphefumula okuncane, ikhanda elibuhlungu elincane, noma ukukhathala ngenxa yoshintsho lokuphakama. Ukuze agweme ukugula ngenxa ye-altitude, umuntu kufanele ahambe kancane, aphuze amanzi amaningi, adle ukudla okuningi, futhi aphumule ngokwanele.

Akufanele futhi kube nokujaha endaweni ekhuphukayo, ngoba ukugijima okuhamba kancane kuzovumela umzimba wakho umjikelezo wemvelo ukuzivumelanisa nokuphakama ngokwemvelo. Umzimba uphinde ujwayelane nokuchitha ubusuku ezindaweni eziphakeme, njengaseGhorepani naseTikhedhunga. I-Annapurna Buka i-Short Trek iwuhambo olumaphakathi nolulula olungalawulwa iningi labantu abajwayelekile.

Imishini yokuhamba ngezinyawo ayiyona inkimbinkimbi, futhi ngohlobo olufanele lomcabango, izicathulo ezinhle zokuhamba, kanye nokulungiselela okuthile okuyisisekelo, abahambi bangathola ukukwenza kulula, futhi ngaleyo ndlela bazokwazi ukwazisa indawo ebabazekayo kanye nobuhle bamasiko bendawo yase-Annapurna.

Ubukhulu kanye Nobuncane bokuhamba ngezinyawo ngosuku

Ku-Annapurna View Short Trek, inani lamahora okuqwala izintaba ngosuku lishintsha ngomzila, indawo, kanye nokuphakama. Ama-Trekkers nawo athatha isilinganiso samahora angu-3-7 nsuku zonke. Ukuhamba ngezinyawo kwenziwa kube ntofontofo futhi kujabulise, futhi kunendawo eyanele yokuphumula, ukudla, nokujabulela imvelo ebabazekayo yezintaba.

Isikhathi esifushane kakhulu sokuhamba singoSuku 1, lapho uhamba khona phakathi kwe-Nayapul (1,050m) ne-Tikhedhunga (1,570m). Lesi sigaba sohambo sithatha cishe amahora ama-3 noma ama-4. Ngokuyinhloko umgwaqo ungokwemvelo, futhi udabula emadolobheni amancane, imifula, namapulazi, okwenza kube isiqalo esilula nesinethezekile sokuhamba ngezinyawo.

Usuku lwesi-2 wusuku lokuhamba kakhulu njengoba uhamba phakathi kwe-Tikhedhunga ne-Ghorepani (2,860m). Kulinganiselwa ukuthi kuthathe amahora angu-6 kuye kwayi-7 futhi iqukethe umqansa omude nokucijile wezinyathelo zamatshe ezingaphezu kuka-3,000 ukuze ufike e-Ulleri. Umzila ongemva kwe-Ulleri nawo uhamba kancane kancane, kodwa usakhuphuka umqansi unqamula emahlathini e-rhododendron, futhi umzila uphelela eGhorepani.

Yenziwe yakufanelekela naphezu kokuthi kuwusuku olunzima kakhulu ngenxa yezindawo zezintaba ezizungezile kanye nehlathi elizolile. Kuzoba nenani elifanayo lamahora angu-6 kuya kwangu-7 ohamba ngezinyawo, okuhlanganisa nohambo lwasekuseni lokuphuma kwelanga oluya e-Poon Hill (3,210m) futhi kamuva wehle igquma ukuya e-Tikhedhunga (1,570m) ngoSuku 3. Ngalolu suku, kukhona ukuhamba ngezinyawo okukhuphuka kanye nokwehla, nakuba kuzwakala kulula ngoba iningi lakhona liyehla.

Ngosuku lwesi-4, lapho indawo yokugcina izoba e-Tikhedhunga ukuya e-Nayapul, izodinga cishe amahora angu-3 kuya kwangu-4 ukuhamba, bese kuba uhambo olufushane oluya e-Pokhara. Uhambo lunikeza uhambo olulingene ukuya kokulula, lapho abahambi bezokwazi ukuphumula futhi babuke indawo enhle njengoba bethatha isikhathi sabo phakathi nohambo.

Indawo yokuhlala, Ukudla, neziphuzo

Ku-Annapurna View Short Trek, abahamba ngezinyawo bachitha ubusuku babo ezindlini zetiye noma ezindaweni zokulala. Ziyizindlu zezivakashi ezincane nezisekhaya futhi zisetshenziswa imindeni yendawo futhi zinikeza amagumbi ahlanzekile anamathambo angenalutho. Iningi lamaloji anemibhede eyodwa, izingubo zokulala, kanye nezindlu zokugezela zomphakathi noma ezizimele.

Izindlu zetiye zizoba yindlela yokuhlala ngemuva kokunethezeka kwabantu bendawo futhi ujabulele isikhathi sokuphumula endaweni ethule yasezintabeni. Izindlu zetiye zinikeza konke ukudla, okuhlanganisa ukudla kwasekuseni, kwasemini, nesidlo sakusihlwa (BLD). Ukudla kulula kodwa kunomsoco futhi kuzokunikeza amandla anele okuhamba uhambo.

Ukudla kwasekuseni ngokuvamile kuzoba nezitsha ezinjengamaqanda, isinkwa esithosiwe, iphalishi, amakhekhe, noma ama-noodle, ngokuvamile ahambisana netiye noma ikhofi. Ukudla kwasemini kuvame ukuba yi-daal bhat (irayisi elinesobho likadali), ukhari wemifino, ama-noodle, noma amasemishi. Ukudla kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, okuhlanganisa kakhulu i-dal bhat, isobho, imifino noma ukhari wenyama, kanye ne-pasta noma irayisi ngezikhathi ezithile.

Ukudla kunempilo, futhi kulungiswa kusha kusetshenziswa amakhishi amancane ngaphakathi kwezindawo zokulala. Noma yini engafakiwe ekudleni okulethwayo, njengokudla okulula, oshokoledi, amabhisikidi, iziphuzo ezibandayo, utshwala, noma amanzi amaminerali, kufanele kukhokhiswe ngokuhlukana. Kunezindlu zetiye ezinazo zonke izinhlobo zokudla okulula neziphuzo; amanani kungenzeka abe phezulu kunasemadolobheni.

Kuyoba kuhle ukupakisha izingcezu zamandla, oshokoledi, noma ukudla okulula okukodwa komzila. Mayelana neziphuzo, abantu bangathenga amanzi abilisiwe, itiye, ikhofi, noma ushokoledi oshisayo. Abanye abahamba ngezinyawo baphatha okokuhlunga amanzi okungamabhodlela noma amaphilisi okuhlanza amanzi ukuze bathole amanzi okuphuza aphephile.

I-Annapurna View Short Trek inikeza indawo yokuhlala enethezekile nethembekile kanye nokudla. Ukuchitha ubusuku ezindaweni zokulala zendawo futhi uthatha izitsha eziyisisekelo ze-Nepali uzokunikeza ukuthinta okwengeziwe kwesiko, futhi uhambo lwakho lokuhamba ngezinyawo ngeke luhlelwe ngokubukwa okuhle kuphela, kodwa kuzoba isipiliyoni esifudumele nesijabulisayo.

Eminye Imizila
