Educational Tour 2073

Day 1 - This day, we all assembled at the school territory at sharp 7 and got ready to learn new things. Despite of our early arrival some factors changed our departure time. We were embarrassed to leave at 8 o'clock. Our destination for the day was Gorkha. Due to traffic jam in many places we were able to enter Gorkhali land only at 5. So when we reached Gorkha museum it was closed. As it was Prithvi Jayanti we went to Gorkha Durbar. We admired the architecture of the palace. We clicked some photographs and returned to headquarters through Ram Shah Chautara.

Day 2 - We woke up at 5 in the morning. Took 2 hour long bus ride to reach Tanahun. There we took tea break.After that we walked up the stairs to reach Siddha Gufa. It was a huge cave with different natural artistic pieces. There was a natural AC through which we could feel hot in winter and cold in summer season. We were impressed by the saint meditating over there in such dark place with nothing but milk. It took almost an hour for us to go through Dancing Pool, Steep Ladder and Slippery Way and get out from there. After the long and exhausting walk through ladders of the cave, we joined the bus trip to reach Pokhara's International Mountaineering Museum. We learned there about different objects used to climb mountains, effects of Global Warming, different groups anc their lifestyle living on mountainous areas and many unknown facts about mountains of world. Later that day we went to Devis Fall and Gupteshwor Cave. They were very close to each other and we were very much amazed to find out that both were interrelated. After that we went for a walk of Lakeside. At the end of the day we were very exhausted and excited for next day.

Day 3 - We woke up at 5, got ready and started our journey by bus towards Sunrise View from Sarangkot. We climbed stairs to reach the place from where we could enjoy the beginning of the day. We waited there for a whilr in windy weather until ray of sunlight striked over the peak of Machhapuchhre Mountain. It was such a beautiful view. The view our eyes captured was unable to be hidden inside our camera's memory. We waited there for a while until Sun came up in the sky. We left that place with best sunrise memory in our mind. We visited Bindhabasini Temple after that. It was hillariously built. The view of mountains, the fragance of incense sticks and the bells ringinv over there had kept the environment fresh. We were worshipped the temple and went towards Manhendra Cave. It had a Shiva idol inside it with same slippery path. After it we went towards Chamero Cave. It had the best crawling experience waiting for us. It took more than an hour for our turn to make an exit from there. After that we had our meal and joined our bus trip toward Ghandruk. It took 2 hours long walk for us to reach our hotel. We refreshed ourselves with the cold freezing water coming off the waterfalls. This place had a lot of bare lands and mules as transport vehicle. We were surprised to see a lot of barren land despite of enough water supply. We visited this Gurung Museum and played for a whilr in local ground.

Day 4- This morning, we woke up and took tea with the best mountain view anyone could get. It was very cold there. We packed our bag and started to walk. We thought that the walk won't last for long time but mistakenly we chose the wrong path to travel through village. But it was benificial. We got to look at mule's grazing area, local school and the people's lifestyle. We had breakfast at New Bridge. We travelled back to Kaski. We watched the Koshi Gorge. It was very deep. We tried dropping a stone in it, which resulted in water taking over 15 seconds. After that, we went to Phewa Lake. It had been our major attraction for our tour. It was large enough to get lost. We hired boats. We boated for over 45 minutes and visited Tal Barahi Temple too. It was a great chance to see people paragliding over us. The water there was kind of green. We made our exit from there and went to Shanti Stupa. As it was already 5, our visit didn't last long. It was closed within 10 minutes of our arrival. It was a huge piece of art with many happy people observing the beauty. Later that day, we walked through Lakeside. It was more like a part of Thamel. Some of our friend went for cycling too. We were tired. Therefore we slept at 9 seeking for rest.

Day 5 - We were travelling back to Kathmandu. The westher was too foggy. We could hardly see anything on the way. We stopped at Bandipur to have breakfast. It seemed like a part stolen from Europe. The restaurants in a gap of inches made it look so. After that we went to Goat Research Centre. It had varieties of goats stored in it. We went back to bus and stopped at Malekhu to have lunch. They provided us Thakali food with delicious fish. We finished it very quickly. To reach Kathmandu it took over 4 hours. Finally, we were dropped in our school. At the end of the day we were back in our home but with memories full of adventure.
