A Day out!@ Chisapani

180 degrees filled with Mountain from elevation of 2200m.







As planned by kishor uncle, on 18th december we were to reach upto Sundarijal, have some fun and return back. But the plan changed when we reached Sundarijal, the journey extended to Chisapani. Before planning Sundarijal, We had planned to go to Tatopani the same same day,which was cancelled. But by chance we reached the opposite place, Chisapani.

Journey in motor bike was Adventerious! The road is in steep terrain. Half of the road is uphill jouney. With the glimpse of sliver mountains on the way, it was fun. Two other guys were forced to come with us with there newly purchased bike :).


Chisapani lies on the way to Langtang trekking route. The journey is about 25Km from Sundarijal. It took about two and half hour to reach Chisapani. Chisapani lies at an elevation of about 2200m above sea level. There are few hotels and logdes. It seemed a perfect place to view mountains. A peaceful place to spent time. There is also an army barrake. A camp of Maiti Nepal had also been established there.


I rotated my head from one side to another, still the mountains on the horizon was not coverd in my view. Woderful experience!

The project site lies on the way to Tamakoshi Hydropower Project. This way is also trekking route to Gauri Sanker mountain. I was lodged in a hotel owned by the parents of youngest person to scale Mt. Everest. Stayed there for 3 nights.

Met Mr. Pitamber Badu (chairman of Lama construction company) an interesting middle age man. It was irresistible to drink beer when he requested. With drink there was a lot of talks we made. And with the company of the hotel owners, the fun doubled.


On the first day, we travelled from Kathmandu to the project site. The vehicle was available upto Jamune only. Due to lack of bridge, we had to do trekking. A good thing indeed. It took 2 hrs to reach the project site. It was dark when we had reached there. With conversation with Rabin Nepal and Prahlad chaudhary, it took no time to reach the project site.


The next day after reaching the project site, we inspected all the components of project. It took whole day to do that. We reached hotel at the late evening.

On the third day, almost all the official work had been completed, however we stayed there and inspected the project area. Walked through the village. Chirng was with us while roaming around. He was a funny person too.


That night Mr. Badu was absent because he had left the site on the morning. But with Pawan Yadav, Rabin Nepal and Prahlad Chaudhary, we made the evening colourful too.


On the afternoon of next day we left to Kathmandu. On the way i had noticed a shape of hills resembling to shape of Hanuman. It was a mystic experience. It was 9 pm when i had reached home. Thanks to Madav ji, who droved us home safely.
