The article that should have been published last year has been delayed for a whole year. From the good memories of Nepal to the powerful earthquake, it is not only the historic sites that collapsed, but also the faces full of happy smiles that affect our hearts and are filled with infinite regret. However, life continues, the journey never stops, let this once beautiful forever engraved in deep mind, slowly aftertaste, savor!

Preface: there is a place where blue sky and white clouds are close at hand; There is a place where mountains are covered with snow; There is a place where red bricks and red walls bear the vicissitudes of life. This place, let us slow down the pace; This place, let us learn to smile; This place tells us what happiness is···

trip

September 5 (departure date: Wuxi Guangzhou)

I'm excited that I'm about to start. September is the rainy season in Nepal. Even so, we still yearn for this country full of happiness. The day of departure is a working day. Everyone sticks to their posts with excitement to the last moment. And choose different ways to arrive at the airport early.

Wukong went through the check-in procedure for Nepal online in advance. For the first time, he took the ticket printed on A4 paper and felt a little uneasy. However, this doubt disappeared after the check-in. Since it's still early, after listening to season's "encounter" with crazy fans on the arrival floor of the airport, we decided to go to see the stars.

(wrecked boarding pass: the content printed on the online check-in machine is the size of the whole A4 paper, which was later cut into the size of the ticket for convenience of operation)

(tfboys: the live version is really extraordinary! The shriek, the crowding, season almost "was" on the street!)

The plane is gorgeous late! Under the blessing of dinner (fast food) of China Southern Airlines, let's wait a little bit more patiently. Fortunately, the plane arrived 3 hours late! When we were about to board the plane, the passengers who were flying to Chengdu were told that they could not leave today. Everyone gathered around the gate to discuss their opinions. Some of them were very aggressive and frightening. However, none of these will affect our pace of progress. Transfer station - Guangzhou, let's go!

(the moment the plane landed, Angkor was always going to see the Cambodian air plane.)

Arrived in Guangzhou around 00:30, made several phone calls with the hotel to confirm the location of the shuttle bus, contacted the driver, and finally took the van to the hotel. The gorgeous appearance of the hotel makes us feel that it is worth the money, but after checking in, we walk to the room and marvel at the "unique cave"! The more we go in, the worse the environment and the worse the conditions are. Fortunately, we only spend 3 or 4 hours in excess!

September 6 (on the road: Guangzhou, Guangzhou to Kathmandu, Kathmandu to Pokhara, bocala)

I made an appointment for the 5:00 morning call and 5:30 shuttle bus, but I couldn't hide my excitement. I got up early to clean up and get ready to start!

(guilty friends spend 100RMB / person to buy insurance for peace of mind, Amitabha!)

The time difference between Nepal and China is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Take our time from Guangzhou to Kathmandu as an example: the departure time is 8:05 Beijing time, while Nepal time is 5:50 at this time; The time of arrival is 10:15 Nepal time. According to the time of the same place, the flight took 4 hours and 25 minutes.

Flying all the way is not boring. Clouds all over the sky, constantly changing, put on a variety of postures; Where the clouds are thin, you can clearly see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and sigh how good the air here should be; Tired can also squint for a while, enjoy the pleasant morning light.

(plane meal: Indian cuisine. The taste of rice is acceptable, but I forget the taste of side dishes. I only remember two words: bad

After the water is sufficient and the food is full, the stewardess will send in the entry application form. Prepare in advance on the plane, save time and avoid unnecessary fuss!

(immigration application form)

Don't expect to see snow mountain friends sleep well. Season is too excited to sleep well. When he opens his eyes, he finds the whereabouts of the snow mountain. Ken is awakened by his excitement. Ken without saying a word, set up a "long gun" shooting (Canon: moved often). After the snow mountain is confirmed, wake up Goku in his sleep, attack him back and forth, and start the battle between canon and Nikon!

(clearly visible, as if by tentacles; But far away, far away, far away - Himalayas!)

Seeing that the excitement of the snow mountain had not yet subsided, the news came that it was about to land at telbwen airport in Kathmandu. All kinds of expectations, yearnings, and complicated feelings were softened together, which was beyond expression.

Entering the airport entrance hall, the first thing to welcome us is a fresco of Buddha nirvana. When we see someone taking photos in front of the painting, we come forward to join in the fun! There is no "no photos" in the immigration department. Please continue to take photos and "punch in"!

For the Chinese, it is much easier to enter Nepal. Submit the passport and the entry form completed on the plane to the customs, and verify that the passport and entry form are stamped and released directly. As we travel time to avoid the tourist season, from queuing to customs clearance is also a matter of a few minutes!

(murals in the airport of gadutri bouvin)

(waiting in line for entry)

(Jiadu airport interior)

Waiting for luggage is long and boring. This shows what a leisurely nation Nepal is. It's easy to do things, which provides you with enough time to hang around in the airport until the luggage transfer channel has a response. Season, Ken and sister Tao get their luggage one after another, and then Wukong is in a hurry. Partners look at him together, he just helplessly waved his hand, motioned to wait! It was not until the Indian faces were all around, full of all kinds of unique flavors, that I realized that the signs were wrong! Ken volunteered to ask the airport staff about the situation.

About 10 minutes later, Ken brought back the unfortunate news: Wukong's suitcase was left at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. All kinds of complaints and incomprehension are of no help. After serious negotiation, I was told that my luggage would arrive at Tribune airport with the plane that night. Please pick it up. However, we were already seven hours away in boccara and would stay there for three days. Thinking about it, Ken felt that he had to rely on his local friends in Nigeria. After filling out the self baggage claim form, we will withdraw from gardu International Airport.

This is our first meeting with Patty. Ken thought very attentively, took Wuxi specialty "Huishan clay figurine" as a gift. The warm and handsome guy is our first impression of him, and this impression continues to this day. Ken got in touch with him early in the morning and helped us bring the Nepalese currency (rupee) and ncell phone card we needed. We quickly assembled and reported safety to our family at the first time.

(communication industry full of Nepalese flavor: posters, phone cards and recharge cards)

A fluent Chinese came out from Patty's mouth, and his friends were shocked! After learning about what happened to the suitcase, Patty offered to help. Arriving in Nepal, plus the time for handling luggage, we will arrive at the meal point soon. So we followed our friends to a nearby restaurant, Kantipur cafe.

(outside the gate of Tribune airport, Kantipur cafe is on the right side)

Before I came to Nepal, I learned from the Internet that the local water quality was not very good. In addition, we stayed for a long time, so we were afraid that we would have discomfort symptoms such as acclimatization. Just in case, we have been drinking either drinks or mineral water since we entered Nepal.

Kantipur Cafe: Indian food is very common in Nepal, and many people are not used to it. The flavor of the side dishes in the rice set meal is really unacceptable. Take curry potato as an example, I thought it would not be classified as "alien" wherever it goes. However, the flavor cooked with fermented beans can only be described by this word; A plate of dumplings with sauce is what Nepalese call "Momo", nothing special; The mango juice named slice has been praised by everyone unexpectedly. It has strong taste and taste. It is better when it is chilled!)

After a short rest in Kantipur cafe, we went to Nepal's domestic airport and flew to our next stop, Pokhara. Nepal, which is not a big country, has its own rules. The domestic and international airports are clearly separated, but they are two separate individuals.

Led by patty, a group of four people with luggage walked uphill and downhill, climbed over the road guardrail, passed through the construction site, and arrived at the domestic airport in about 15 minutes. It can only be described as "hidden". The gate is about four times as big as the ordinary door in our family. The exterior is surrounded by various bamboo poles because of decoration. At the gate, a Nepalese boy in uniform sits and asks us for his ID. We show the ticket voucher to pass directly! It's kind of easy to pass, but it's just the beginning~~

(Buddha air needs to be prepared in advance to exchange ticket voucher)

Put the luggage on the scanner, and the first round of "touch" check begins. An independent small black house (in fact, it is made of several boards and a piece of black cloth). There are two separate rooms for men and women. Each room is equipped with a same-sex "body search agent", who can touch from the clavicle to the calf, touch the belt in the middle, and lift up the clothes to confirm. He is very serious. It will not be released until it is confirmed that there are no problems.

(public toilets at domestic airports in Nepal)

(check in and check-in Office of budha air, Nepal)

Looking around for a week, there are several airlines in the small departure hall, and Buddha air is the one that covers the largest area and gathers the most passengers. There was no staff on the red rope at Pokhara bocala, so we took a rest. After a while, the enthusiastic Nepalese boy took the initiative to ask us where to go, and led us to the counter to check in and check in.

(Buddha air ticket and baggage tag)

The second round of "touch" inspection begins. Before entering the waiting hall, we have to go through another "checkpoint". This "special checkpoint" makes us a little confused for newcomers - the security check is divided into men and women. Originally, we were in a vertical line of four to search one by one, but two women were stopped outside. Nishi English sounds a bit difficult in the newly landing season. After repeated communication and confirmation, combined with body language, the ladies finally entered the small dark room again and were touched from head to foot. The difference is that the small black house here is actually a small room made of bricks.

Mini retro terminal. The waiting hall of Nepal's domestic routes is small and lovely. The combination of light color floor tile and dark wood ceiling is retro, and the electric fan without air conditioner highlights the old flavor. At this time, Ken actually "enjoy" to sleep, in such a hot airport!

(the two doors at the ticket gate are the places where men and women "check" separately.)

(the airport waiting hall without air conditioning will be replaced by electric fans)

The third round of "touch" check starts after ticket checking. I saw two doors and took the initiative to separate men and women. This layer of "touch" check is not as strict as the previous two times, so that we will soon see the picturesque sky of Nepal again and embrace the clear blue of Nepal again.

(getting on the bus is like getting on a sightseeing bus. There's scenery everywhere.)

(the sky is so blue, and the clouds are so close, as if you could reach out and take off the clouds)

Fantastic journey of Buddha air. The shuttle bus stopped next to the plane for about 10 minutes. We watched as our luggage was crammed into the plane one by one, and then we stepped onto the plane one after another. There are only four seats in a row, about 15 rows. As soon as they are seated, the stewardess will send candy for passengers to eat. The delicious season takes the sugar and throws it into his mouth. The strange taste makes the whole person dizzy and regretful! Fuzzy windows let us give up the impulse to take pictures, feel the scenery with the naked eye intuitively, and experience the pleasure of tilting up and down, right and left in the air! It's worth a try!

Half an hour later, we set foot on bocala's land. Sentiment: everywhere is the beautiful scenery, everywhere moves the human heart. The waiting time for luggage is also long“ WELCOME TO POKHARA”

(arrival exit at bocala Airport)

(claim checked baggage: This is a visual manual calling service. One window, one person service, one ticket corresponding to take a piece of luggage. You can see yellow people everywhere.)

With our luggage, we are going to fish tail Lodge, the hotel in Lakeside East, which is about to stay for 3 nights! Without knowing the situation, some people came up to solicit customers. In the case of ignorance, we bought two small taxis at the price of 600 rupees from the airport to the hotel (Nepal's small taxis don't have a watch, so we have to negotiate the price before getting on the bus). Arriving at the hotel in about 3 minutes, I felt like I was trapped. The price is basically the same as the domestic taxi price, which is a luxury in such a country.

(overlooking Yuwei Villa Hotel: a star hotel hidden in green)

Yuwei Villa Hotel is backed by mountains and surrounded by lakes on three sides. It has received many celebrities and politicians, so it has a good reputation. It's also the most anticipated hotel of our trip. As soon as I walked down the stone steps with my luggage, I felt cool. Hotel staff immediately came forward to help carry luggage, the ship here is very simple but very distinctive. A few green iron bars support the space of the risers; The striped cloth will cover the roof to block the direct sunlight; At the foot is the combination of wood and tire; Two ropes for pulling let us see the image of the trackers on the lake as soon as we arrived in Nepal.

(the trackers of Yuwei villa hotel are on call 24 hours a day to meet the travel needs of all residents at any time.)

Walking on the stone path, the lushness is refreshing. Along the direction of the younger brother, we went into a hut to check in. At the same time, the watermelon juice and ice towel presented make people feel that they are enjoying not only the beautiful scenery, but also the high-quality service. He took the key and went straight to the room; When you give a tip, you begin to enjoy the freedom of settling down. (in Yuwei Villa Hotel, you need to give a tip when you carry a bag. Just watch it. If you don't plan to, insist on carrying your own luggage from the beginning.

"Xi Te" uses the catchphrase of Ken (Wuxi dialect, which means praising beautiful scenery and other beautiful things). We stand at the door of the room and feel the small and fresh single family courtyard; Push open the door, clean and refreshing, unique charm of the room without saying, enjoy.

(our "home" in bocala)

(the facilities and facilities of the hotel are very good. They prepare fruits and cookies for new guests! YAMI)

(good environment and good ecology make nature a paradise for small animals)

(the moon is supported by clouds)

As the restaurant price of Yuwei villa is on the high side, we decided to look for food on the street on the other side of the lake.

School bus: waiting to pick up the children playing in the park

(the journey to dinner: the excitement of arriving at Baodi for the first time, all kinds of follow-up photos make our journey colorful ~)

(Niu: most Nepalese believe in Hinduism, and cattle are Hindu beasts. Cattle can be seen everywhere on the road. They are never afraid of pedestrians and vehicles. On the contrary, everyone will give way for them.)

As we walked along the busy market, we heard all kinds of nonstandard Chinese "hello" and "have a look". The owners of small shops are sitting on the doorsteps of their own shops, holding their business, and even if they are rejected, they still keep smiling. How good is their mentality and how strong is their sense of happiness? The road of exploration is about to open!

"This is not very good ~" this is a bit expensive ~ "Ken told us with his keen perception that the restaurants we passed would not be our dining places“ That's it Aankhi jhyal Restaurant & bar is an addictive restaurant for us. It is also one of the designated places for us to eat in bocala. Both the environment and the taste of the dishes are in line with our style. Great!

"Are you from China, too?" The two compatriots at the next table moved us to meet our old friends in a foreign country. They enthusiastically recommended the characteristics of this restaurant to us, recommended Boca's must play items to us, and told us the price for reference. It was their recommendation and reminder that made us less worried about playing in Boca.

The kerosene lamp presented by the waiter fills in the atmosphere for the elegant restaurant. One after another on the table to recommend pizza and pasta let us appetite, after a shooting will enter the sweep mode. The joy of the official opening and the delicious food blend together, let us praise this restaurant. It's just that there are very few people here for dinner. It's really puzzling that there are only four of us and the two Chinese compatriots in one night!

Pizza: this whole pizza is small, one person is enough

(dinner bill)

(old bicycle: the gear of history, carrying the memory of childhood)

The owners of the shops on the street are packing up the things placed outside the door, ready to close and return to the tranquility of the night. For the female compatriots, the first day's journey drew a complete end when they returned to the hotel; For men, returning to the hotel is just the beginning of the night.

Nepal is a country with short power supply, and power is often cut off. Because of this, the local people have a strong sense of energy saving, especially at night without light.

On our first day in Nepal, we were on our way!

September 7 (in Pokhara bocala: boat ride on fewa Lake + bike tour)

"Get up and watch the snow mountain!" With the sound of rain falling to sleep and the cry of snow mountain, it's a different morning. The island's blue sky, lush trees, fresh air and quiet environment make people feel very comfortable, and experience the life of birds singing, flowers fragrance and paradise.

Yuwei Villa Hotel, as mentioned in the introduction, can clearly see machhapuchhre (fish tail Yuwei peak) in sunny and cloudy weather. One side of the Chinese couple to bocala for a few days did not see the beautiful scenery of the snow mountain, at the moment of leaving to see the excitement of Yuwei peak, even the words reveal the excited shiver!

(fish tail: hidden behind the chimney)

(Anna purna: like a queen)

(fish tail: I ` m the king of the world)

Thick clouds gradually obscured Annapurna and fishtail peak, and brought back our normal thinking mode - it's time for breakfast. So we're ready to go and save energy for today's play.

Finally, I put the snow mountain aside, but I was attracted by the roadside children and the street scenery. The road to breakfast was long and rugged.

Walking and taking pictures, we didn't arrive at the restaurant until 10:00, that is, aankhi jhyal Restaurant & bar where we had dinner last night.

Aankhi jhyal Restaurant & Bar: show your face

Good day, better mood! We chose to sit down on the street. On the opposite side of the road to the restaurant, there is a cool tree unique to Nepal. Two photographers who are very interested in photography took turns and left their memories here.

Western breakfast is simple but not simple“ "Simple" is composed of basic Western food, "not simple" is in the crispness of bread baking, with the milk flavor of butter slightly salty, which improves the level and enriches the taste; A fried egg seems to be one, but it has two yolks, and all of them are yellow eggs, fresh and plump; Milk tea is a combination of fresh milk and tea bag, which makes people who drink too much milk tea shout: This is the real milk tea!

After breakfast, we started today's first planned official trip: boating on Lake Fava. After referring to the price list, the partners unanimously decided to pay 800 rupees for one day. After calculating the price, they were ready to pay the bill, but they were told that they had to pay another 10 rupees in taxes.

(charter price list. Our boating fee: one day charter rs800 + body saving clothes rs30 * 4 + tax RS10 = rs930. Note: you can't get on the ship without renting a life jacket. It's a naked chain consumption.)

(ticket and tax increase certificate)

Rowing is not easy. From the beginning, season was in a state of giving up, while sister Tao was more than willing and less than able. The female compatriots occasionally "stir" two times to let the male compatriots worry about it, so she worked as a part-time boatman herself. As we are not good at rowing, we have to move forward in constant adjustment, towards the center of Lake Fava.

It is estimated that when they come to the center of the lake area, they are not in a hurry to take photos, but quietly enjoy the time of wandering on the lake. Here, far away from the disturbance of the city; Here, enjoy the tranquility of the lake; Here, accompanied by mountains and rivers; Here, there is a breeze. There is no fear of silence, occasionally across the sky wings tell us, here is heaven on earth.

"When the sun shines, the lake is beautiful. As soon as I looked up, I drifted away. It's too bad to go back in the wind. "It's very easy to play the acute play and adapt the lyrics, which also reflects the dilemma we are in. We spent the hottest time of the day on a ship without shelter; The seemingly calm surface of the lake is full of thrust, so we can only overlook the road when we come.

Looking at the chartering point farther and farther away, the partners decided to row further away. To reach the place full of green aquatic plants, the road ahead has been blocked. Looking up at the sky, all over the sky of the paraglider swing with the wind, gorgeous colors make the sky dim.

Cruel reality: rowing against the wind and renting back the boat. But also had to work together, courageously forward! Go! Go! Go!

Compared with other people's carefree, we have to work hard

(this "kid" came out on our way back and walked around. Quan Dang cheered us on!)

There is a sense of steadiness when two feet touch the ground, with a little dizziness. After being roasted like a poisonous sun, we nearly collapsed and rushed into a roadside shop to buy a bunch of iced drinks to relieve our thirst.

Under the scorching sun, we went to blue sky travel & Tours (P.) Ltd to inquire about the price of paragliders. As we had a little understanding of the price last night, we could not talk about the price they offered. So we decided to try another home.

(protect trees, start small)

All the way, all the way to see, all kinds of nameless shop let us flinch. But another shop with the same name could not remember its name until we stood at the door. Choosing sunrise and blue sky is like choosing beautiful women and handsome men. The price of paraglider is the same, but everyone is more inclined to the sweet service of sunrise. Now that the beauties are focusing on serving another group of blonde guests, we turn to lunch first.

14: It's really not a good choice to eat after 00. There are almost no people in the shop, and they can't satisfy the herd mentality. Walking aimlessly, a small shop on the corner of about 3 Ping attracts people's attention: the store is not big, there are not many kinds, but foreigners and locals have it. They are sitting in the shop, drinking and eating snacks. That's it: Namaste Bakery & sanwich point.

(Madame Namaste Bakery & sanwich point)

(cheese mushroom sandwich / vegetable sandwich + iced coffee: it's full and delicious! The cheese mushroom has a layer more than the vegetables, and the fried eggs full of secret mushrooms are richer in layers and more rich in flavor! The taste of iced coffee is heavy and sweet, smooth, sweet but not greasy!)

(lunch bill)

(on camera at Namaste Bakery & sanwich point)

Ken is a restless person. He even went to the street to chat with the uniformed police and took photos as a souvenir. While others sit in the shop, watching the cars coming and going in the sun, chatting with the kind landlady. Season took a fancy to the snacks bought by the young man of the boss's wife's family, so he went forward to ask where to buy them. Without saying a word, the boss's wife sent a small plate to the table!

(the unique taste of sour, hot, spicy and salty still makes season aftertaste, but not everyone can accept it! For example, the other three!)

Farewell to Namaste Bakery & sanwich point, let's go to book a paraglider. Walking and chatting, I missed sunrise. Without going back, we decided to place an order at blue sky not far ahead.

After repeatedly confirming that the 12000 rupees per person required for paragliding included round-trip transportation, paragliding project, photo taking, disc engraving and certificate, we decided to pay for the service. And hope they can meet us at the door of the hotel, and we will pay immediately after we get the promise. However, at this time, sister Tao, who is afraid of heights, gave up! She still can't defeat the "devil" in her heart. Even if we repeatedly stressed to challenge ourselves, but it is not good to force! Finally, the itinerary of two men and one woman is confirmed tomorrow morning.

(blue sky business card and confirmation form: the confirmation form must be kept and taken with you. Use it to check information on the day of gliding)

It's easy to walk out of blue sky. At this point, Ken proposed to ride a bike! After asking the handsome guy of blue sky, we went to the car rental point. There is no facade at the car rental point. It operates in the open air. There are neat and uniform bicycles parked under the roadside trees. You can ask the price directly. Finally, we rented it at 150 rupees per hour per person. We negotiated on the spot and paid for the 2-hour rent. We rode to the hotel and let go of the heavy things before we set out.

(dog lovers)

Enjoy cycling and experience a different life in Nepal. Because we are not familiar with the road, but we don't insist on riding all the way up the mountain. We turn left and right. We see people celebrating the opening ceremony of stores and many small foreign-style houses and hotels under construction. Unconsciously, we make a detour and return to the origin. We stopped for a while at the door of a small shop, bought popsicles and ice drinks to cool down, and joined the ranks of roadside chatting.

(cycling)

(scallion and ginger ice cream: very strange and interesting! Salty and sweet taste, eating a kind of impulse to cry! As for why you want to cry, you will know when you have a chance to try!)

Fewa lake, here we go again! When we got to Lake Fava and parked, we followed the crowd up the trail along the lake. I went there twice a day to experience two completely different feelings and feel the magic of the creator.

"Beautiful scenery intoxicating" is true. Walking leisurely on the path by lake Fava, I didn't realize the problem of bicycle until nightfall“ Sorry. We ` ve forgotten the time. We ` re so sorry. ". Although the boss looked a little ugly, he didn't blame us, let alone ask us to charge more money!

Walk to the restaurant of aankhi jhyal Restaurant & bar. After dinner, we walk slowly to the hotel while looking for a taxi to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning. When we got back to the hotel with 1200 rupees / car to negotiate the price and confirm the travel time, we were not sleepy. We gathered together to chat and enjoy the lake breeze at night. With a bright full moon in the night sky, we missed our relatives in our hometown. Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival!

Good night, Lake Fava! Good night, bocala!

September 8 Mid Autumn Festival (in Pokhara bocala: watching sunrise in sarangkot + gliding + Davis fall + fewa Lake)

At 5 a.m., we arrived on time on the other side of the lake. At this time, the taxi owner had been waiting here. After a brief greeting, we ran to the top of sarangkot.

At 5 a.m., Chinese young people are still wandering in their sleep, while Nepalese young people have already set out to make a living. Along our way, the road is bumpy, the car moving forward in the hazy is flexible in passing through the mountains, and the frequent honking of the horn always reminds pedestrians to pay attention to the vehicle and safety. In the middle of the mountain, the parking fee is charged. The toll here is per capita (self pay).

(sarangkot viewing ticket)

At the top of the mountain, there are two viewing platforms in the same place: one is free, relatively simple, just for viewing; The other is for free, offering drinks and a higher viewing platform. We did not hesitate to choose free, fortunately, coincidentally occupy the dominant position, let us have enough space to catch the wonderful.

As the clouds in the East are too thick and will not disperse, we missed the sunrise of sarangkot. We have to pray for the appearance of snow mountain to make up for our regret. The clouds faded, revealing the trail of snow mountain. Gradually, the light of the sun dissipated the clouds, shining on the top of the snow mountain, forming the "sunshine Golden Mountain". The first is Annapurna. The more and more clear image of snow mountain makes us speechless, waiting for fish tail peak.

"There it is The cloud seems to be a guard, protecting the tranquility of fish tail peak; The wind is like a soldier, uncovering the mystery of fish tail peak; The sun is like a maid, adorning the beauty of fish tail peak. From the beginning to the full display, such an experience can not be expressed in words, only to experience it personally.

The weather on the mountain is changing rapidly. In 2-3 minutes, the clear mountain top has disappeared in the fog sea.

7: 00, the taxi owner appeared at our side on time, reminding us of the time to return, so as not to affect the next trip. We're leaving saranko with nostalgia and ready to come back tomorrow morning. On the way down the mountain, there will be a charge for vehicles going down the mountain (which has been included in the fare of our trip).

Arrive at the appointed place at the appointed time, but don't see the pick-up car of blue sky. After a few phone calls to ask the reason, the answer is always right away (Nepalese's natural slow nature has been certified again).

The handsome pick-up truck stops in front of us. We don't hesitate to sit in the "open top" at the back to enjoy the bumpy pleasure and 360 degree comfort ° Super vision. I thought we were going up the mountain, but I stopped at the door of an equipment store; We thought we would take our equipment and start again, but we were invited into the shop. It's a long wait. As the coaches arrive at the store one after another, the male staff behind the counter take out the "life and death certificate" and ask us to sign one by one, and then check and confirm the contents of the cash receipt we received yesterday. Then continue to wait ~ ~ time is far more than our scheduled gliding time of 9:00, the staff just lightly said that the weather is not good, we have to continue to wait!

Here, we met a Chinese guy who came to play gliding alone. He didn't know English at all. He went from Tibet to Nepal through zhangmukou. This is our original plan, but for various reasons, we failed to make it. He told us that the road in zhangmukou was blocked due to the debris flow, and vehicles could not get in and out, so they had to walk. Even so, we still yearn, after all, it will be a very different experience.

It's getting light. Coaches pack up their equipment and signal us to get on the bus and get ready to go. Although it's a pickup truck, the space is limited. After the "open top" is full, another blonde (naked overload)!

Turbulence is another feature of Nepal, and it has always been. However, pickup truck can experience the moment of roller coaster climbing. The more you go up the mountain, the colder you feel. It stimulates your senses. I'm ready to move. I really want to run to bocala's sky immediately. This feeling is even worse after reaching the paraglider buffer zone!

After wearing the equipment and repeatedly confirming the precautions and take-off and landing rules, the coach said: waiting for the wind. This remark reminds me of the plot in the movie waiting for the wind. Wait for the wind to come, but follow the wind. Only feel a breeze, the wind is rising, the coach ordered: go! We rush to the sky of bocala with the wind! At this time, there is a blank in my head, only the beautiful scenery.

In the air, the coach handed the self timer stick of GoPro hero to his hand, and then thought of leaving a good memory. All kinds of angles, all kinds of directions, there is no need to think, the coach will also help guide all kinds of pose to take satisfactory pictures.

(gliding and landing assembly point: we are like a small dart "shooting" from all directions, landing within the 8th ring in turn!)

It's still because of the weather. We landed faster and did less air movement. But we had all kinds of experiences and didn't leave any regrets. Wukong is so big that he can't experience the fun of air action; But because of his height, he first touched the ground when landing, which led the coach to jump on him directly and was "despised" and made everyone laugh.

Landing at Lake Fava is where we went by boat yesterday. Sit in the rest area similar to an open bar, drink, blow the lake wind, watch others land, watch someone collect the umbrella... Wait for the return notice, enjoy every moment here!

The way back is more bumpy and rugged than the way back. Season sat in the seat outside the pickup truck. Due to the congestion and turbulence, he once had the condition of half body bumping out of the car. Just change your posture and squat at the back of the car. No, it's OK. Thanks to the partners, otherwise, the whole person will fly out of the air. I can't laugh or cry!

(rough and bumpy road)

Bumping all the way back to blue sky, I had to wait for a long time before I received the freshly baked discs“ What about the certificate? " We didn't forget the appointment. We took the disc and asked“ You need?” This was the first reaction of the shop assistants, and our unanimous affirmative response made them laugh“ You like?” It seems that few people will ask them for these "useless" things. But in memory, we still firmly answered "yes" again.

(paraglider certificate: made on site, something you can't have if you don't ask for it.)

(Nigerian calendar: when waiting for the certificate, I don't want to find something interesting, so I'll call my friends to chat to pass the time! From the fifth space in the first row, the big characters are: 1, 2, 3; From the first grid of the second row, they are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in turn; and so on! Seemingly 9 is 1, seemingly 8 is 4, seemingly 6 is 7, profound!)

I thought blue sky would send us back to the hotel, so it's really fantastic. Fortunately, it's not far from Namaste Bakery & sanwich point where we had lunch yesterday.

(as usual, the combination of sandwich and iced coffee is still popular.)

It was noon after dinner, and everyone was a little sleepy because of getting up early. Asked the boss the price of a taxi to the hotel, we bargain with the taxi driver. The final price of 150 rupees after negotiation!

In the afternoon, the plan is to go to David falls first and then to the old city. But the driver said that the two scenic spots are in different directions. After quoting the price, we hesitated! I decided to go to David falls first and then consider whether to go to the old town.

(admission to David falls)

There is only one spot in a scenic spot. There is nothing but waterfall here. When we hesitated to go to the old city, the driver offered a scenic spot across the road. So we followed the driver to the market.

Gupteshwor Mahadev cave is a Hindu cave across the road from devil falls. In the cave, there is a giant stalagmite which is regarded as Shiva's genitalia. However, this is not the focus of our concern. When we saw a revolving, sunken, European style building under construction, we once thought that we could go underground and watch David falls at a close distance, so we chose to buy tickets to enter. But in the underground Rao a circle, we collective silly eyes: humid, hot, dark underground, full of all kinds of small stone pile, constantly dripping water in series line, unable to take pictures. There is only one person in charge here, and the four of us are wandering in it. I didn't know the situation yet, but I walked around to the exit.

(there are many places that you will regret if you don't go, and you will regret if you go! Then why not regret it clearly ~)

This is not a little consumption. The first thing to come out is to buy water. The drinks sold here are quite expensive! Five drinks for four people and a driver, 500 rupees, which is equivalent to more than 6 yuan per bottle, is higher than the price of some scenic spots in China.

The weather in Nepal is unpredictable, and the gradually gloomy weather makes us give up going to the old city and go to Lake Fava to shoot the unfinished scenery yesterday. We agreed with the driver that we would continue to go to saranco tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise, and then walk towards Lake Fava. But as soon as we got to the lake, the rain came. With the increasing rain and strong wind, people hiding in the light rain shed have to change their shelter even in the rain. After the rain stopped, he immediately set out to shoot "feiwa after the rain". It didn't take a few steps. It rained heavily again. But again trapped in the grass shed by the lake, waiting for the rain to stop···

The sky appeared beautiful color, through the dense clouds - the rain stopped. It's getting late and pedestrians are getting less and less, and it's time to say goodbye to Lake Fava.

The sporadic drizzle when leaving Lake Fava seems to be pouring out the sadness of parting. Can leave is inevitable, looking forward to coming back here again, standing here, looking at the quiet lake, empty all, put everything down!

The streets are so fresh after the rain, but they are so gorgeous under all kinds of neon lights. Ken picked up the camera and never put it down. He took photos all the way, catching every moment after the rain.

(local small rental)

Walking, photographing, chatting and watching, we once again came to the restaurant of aankhi jhyal Restaurant & bar for dinner, where we met a guy from Shanghai: what a lonely person, awe inspiring.

(our "last dinner" at aankhi jhyal Restaurant & Bar)

No moon tonight, but also leisure. On the way back to the hotel, Ken sent some postcards; Season bought a local cashmere scarf and was embarrassed to bargain as a student. It turns out that it is easier.

Today is the Mid Autumn Festival! Although we are in a foreign land, we enjoy the same full moon.

The last night in Boca is still sleeping with the rain! Good night, bocala!

September 9 (on the road: Pokhara bocala to Kathmandu Kathmandu Nagarkot)

At 4:30 a.m., we arrived on the other side of the lake, where the taxi had been waiting. It was still a simple greeting, so we went to saranko again. Today is not as lucky as yesterday. The thick clouds cover not only the sunrise, but also the snow mountains in the distance.

On the mountain, there are a large number of "experts" from China's photography groups. It is not known how the photography technology is, but the level of speaking is a
