E hoʻomaka ʻoe i kāu mau lā huakaʻi ma kou hōʻea ʻana i TIA (Tribhuvan International Airport) ma Kathmandu. Mai laila mai e kiʻi ʻia ʻoe e kā mākou ʻelele mai ke keʻena ʻo Glory Adventure a i ka hōkele. Ma laila e kali ana nā limahana iā ʻoe. Ma hope o kou lawe ʻia ʻana i ka hōkele, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kou manawa hōʻoluʻolu ma laila e hoʻomaha ai a me nā mea hou. A inā makemake ʻoe e hana i kekahi mau hana hoihoi a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hele a puni nā alanui o nā mākeke kūloko a ʻimi i kekahi mau meaʻai kūloko a me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo.

E noho ana ʻoe ma ka hōkele ma Kathmandu.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma kou hōkele, e hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i kāu mau mea a e mākaukau no ka holo ʻana i Pokhara ma o ke ala kaʻa. E hele kēia ala ma ke alaloa waena-puʻu e uhi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona honua nui a like ʻole ma ke ala holoʻokoʻa.

E hauʻoli ʻoe i ka huakaʻi ma ke alanui ma kahakai me nā hiʻohiʻona like ʻole o nā mākeke liʻiliʻi a me nā kauhale me nā ʻāina mahiʻai. ʻO ka holo ʻana o 6 mau hola ka mea nui loa iā ʻoe i kēia huakaʻi o Mardi Himal Trek.

I kou hōʻea ʻana i Pokhara, e ʻike ʻoe i ke kūlanakauhale nui ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko me kahi hiʻohiʻona nui o ka laulā hanohano o Macchapuchre. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Pokhara he laʻana o ke kūlanakauhale kūlohelohe a i ʻole he kūlanakauhale Himalayan. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ka manawa e holoholo ai a puni ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko i ke ahiahi ma Pokhara. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i kekahi mau meaʻai ma nā hale ʻaina a me nā hale ʻaina a puni e hauʻoli ana i ka nānā ʻana i kahi loko mālie.

E loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi e noho ai ma kahi hōkele ma Pokhara.

I kēia lā, e hoʻomaka ʻoe i ka hele wāwae maoli ma kou mau kapuwaʻi mai Kande. Ma hope o kou loaʻa ʻana o kāu ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi e hiki ai i laila ma Pitam Deurali. Lawe kēia ala iā mākou ma waena o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo momona. E hāʻawi pū ia iā mākou i ka ʻāina ʻoiai mākou e hoʻomaka ana e piʻi i nā ala paʻa.

Ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana i luna, e hōʻea ʻoe i Pitam Deurali. He kauhale liʻiliʻi nani loa ia ma ka Himalaya.

E loaʻa iā ʻoe kou wahi e noho ai ma Pitam Deurali.

Me ka ʻaina kakahiaka i ke kakahiaka ma ke kauhale mālie o Pitam Deurali, e hoʻomau hou mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i kahi hoʻomoana hoʻomaha. E lawe iā mākou i 6 mau hola o ka hele wāwae mau ma ke ala piʻi.

E hele ʻoe ma ke kahua nani o ka nahele rhododendron a me nā mea kanu juniper. Hāʻawi pū ke ala piʻi iā ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona o Macchapuchre Peak. Ma o ia mau hiʻohiʻona nani, e hōʻea ʻoe i kahi hoʻomoana ulu lāʻau. Mai laila mai e pono ai ʻoe e hele wāwae no hoʻokahi hola e hiki ai i laila ma kahi hoʻomoana hoʻomaha.

E noho ʻoe i ka pō ma Rest Camp.

I ka lā ʻelima o kāu huakaʻi hele wāwae, e piʻi mākou i kahi kiʻekiʻe ma luna o 3000m e hiki ai i laila ma High Camp. E loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻaina kakahiaka i ke kakahiaka ma Rest camp a e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi. I ko mākou piʻi ʻana i luna, e ʻike mākou i nā hiʻohiʻona hanohano o kahi pae mauna me nā piko, me Macchapuchre, Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna Hema, a me Gangapurna me ka pae aʻe.

Me ka hauʻoli i ka nani o kēia alahele, e hōʻea mākou i ke kahua hoʻomoana kiʻekiʻe. Ma laila mākou e ʻaina awakea ai a hauʻoli hou i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā mai laila mai me nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic o ka Himalayas i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā piko i uhi ʻia i ka hau.

E loaʻa iā ʻoe kou pō hoʻokahi ma High Camp.

He lā nui kēia no kāu huakaʻi hele ʻana i ka Mardi Himal trek a laila Trek hou mai laila a i Badal Danda. Uhi ia i ka piʻi nui ʻana a me ka pohō ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe. Uhi pū ia i 9 mau hola o ka hele wāwae mau, ma waena o ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻāina ʻo Mardi.

E hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i ke kakahiaka nui, a mai laila mai pono mākou e piʻi i ke ala piʻi i kūkulu ʻia me nā ala piʻi. E loaʻa iā mākou kahi kiʻekiʻe o kahi o 1000m ka ʻokoʻa. Uhi pū ka huakaʻi i ka puka ʻana o ka lā kupaianaha mai nā wahi like ʻole i ka wā o ka huakaʻi. E hoʻomaka ʻoe e nānā pono i kahi ʻike o nā piko mauna e like me Annapurna I, Annapurna Hema, Macchapuchre, a me kekahi o nā piko kokoke i piha i ka hau.

Ma hope o ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ke kahua hoʻomoana o ka Mardi Himal Trek, e ʻaina kakahiaka mākou ma laila e hauʻoli ana i ka nani o ke kiʻekiʻe mālie a me ke ʻano like ʻole o ke kuahiwi. He manawa hoʻohiwahiwa loa ia no ʻoe e ʻai ai ma ia wahi. Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e loaʻa iā mākou kekahi manawa ma laila e hauʻoli ai i nā hiʻohiʻona nui a e hoʻomau hou mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i Badal Danda. No laila e piʻi hou mākou mai laila aku a hiki i Banda Danda. ʻO ka huakaʻi he ala iho ma waena o nā ʻāina ʻino. He mau hola wale nō e hiki ai i laila ma Badal Danda.

Aia kou noho ma laila ma Badal Danda.

E hoʻomau ʻia ka huakaʻi no ke kauhale ʻaoʻao ma hope o kou loaʻa ʻana o kāu ʻaina kakahiaka. E hele mākou ma ke ala mālie a mālie hoʻi e iho ana. E hahai ke ala i ka muliwai ʻo Mardi Khola ma hope o ka huakaʻi. Ma hope o ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ke Kauhale ʻo Siding he kauhale nani loa ia i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā ʻāina mahiʻai, e hoʻomaha mākou a hoʻi i Pokhara.

E hauʻoli ʻoe i kēia huakaʻi me nā hiʻohiʻona nui, nā puʻu a me nā ʻāina i piha i nā kauhale a me ke ʻano honua kupaianaha. Ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana i Pokhara, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kou manawa hoʻomaha ma laila.

E loaʻa iā ʻoe kou noho pō ma Pokhara.

E loaʻa hou iā ʻoe kahi kaʻa lōʻihi ma ke alaloa midhill mai Pokhara a i Kathmandu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i kēia huakaʻi i hoʻokahi manawa hou. Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻi mākou i Kathmandu i kā mākou kaʻa. ʻO nā alanui ma ka muliwai e hoʻolilo i kāu huakaʻi i mea hoʻohiwahiwa hou.

Ma hope o kou hōʻea ʻana i Kathmandu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i kāu ahiahi me nā meaʻai alanui a me nā meaʻai kūloko a me kāu mau kīʻaha Komohana punahele mai nā hale ʻaina a me nā hale ʻaina like ʻole a puni ka mākeke.

E noho ana ʻoe ma ka hōkele ma Kathmandu.

I kēia lā, e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻoe mai ke koena o ka huakaʻi. E loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono e loaʻa ai ka manawa nou iho. Hiki iā ʻoe ke holoholo a puni nā wahi like ʻole o ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kāu huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi a puni nā wahi mōʻaukala koʻikoʻi a me nā wahi hoʻomana a puni ke kūlanakauhale. He ala huakaʻi maikaʻi ʻo Kathmandu me nā kumuhana like ʻole o ka mōʻaukala, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka hoʻomana.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kāu huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma ka stupa Swayambunath e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona ākea o Kathmandu. ʻO Boudhanath kahi wahi maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i ke ʻano kahiko kupaianaha a nani o ka Buddhism a me nā meaʻai ma nā hale ʻaina kūloko like ʻole. ʻO Pashupatinath kekahi ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo nou inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka moʻomeheu kupaianaha a me nā hana kuʻuna o ka Hinduism. ʻO ia kekahi o nā wahi kapu loa a hoʻolaʻa ʻia o ka poʻe Hindu.

No nā wahi mōʻaukala, hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa iā Basantapur, Patan, a i ʻole Bhaktapur Durbar Square. He koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi ka pōleʻa i ka mōʻaukala kahiko me nā hale aliʻi a me nā wahi o nā hanana like ʻole. Ma laila ʻoe e ʻike ai i nā luakini kupaianaha i kūkulu ʻia i nā manawa like ʻole.

A i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha i kou manawa ma kāu hōkele. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke ola pō ma Thamel ma nā hale inu a me nā kalapu like ʻole a kūʻai pū i kekahi mau mea hoʻomanaʻo mai Asan Bazer a i ʻole nā ​​​​mākeke kūloko ʻē aʻe ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona ma mua o kou haʻalele ʻana.

ʻO kou wahi e noho ai ma kahi hōkele ma Kathmandu.

ʻO kēia lā ka lā denature nou a me ka lā hope loa o kāu huakaʻi. Hoʻopau ka huakaʻi poina ʻole ma o ke kūlohelohe a me nā ʻāina o Mardi Himal Trek me kou haʻalele ʻana mai Kathmandu a i kāu wahi i hele ai.

No laila, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kāu ʻaina kakahiaka i ke kakahiaka a e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lawelawe koho mai ka hōkele a i ke kahua mokulele. E loaʻa iā ʻoe kou haʻalele ʻana mai laila mai, a me ka hopena o kāu huakaʻi.
