climb a mountain. We hiked from Kathmandu (1300 metres approx) to the
top of Nargajun, which is 2200 metres, or about 7000ft high. The walk
up was SO steep (glad I did some running in London, but it wasn't
enough!) but the view at the top was worth it. Still no Himal as it
was too hazy, but we could see 360 degrees round and there was a
Buddhist site at the top with singing etc, and so many prayer flags.
Peanut butter sarnies have never tasted so good!
On the walk down, we collected trash from the mountains. It's really
sad, here they just drop litter in all these really beautiful places.
Hopefully we made a little difference, but you really needed tons more
people to get the place cleaned up.
It was so great to be away from the city, and in the jungle - it's
quite tropical here, and everything was looking really green. We
walked through a few villages, and saw a flower farm - so pretty, and
so tranquil compared to the madness of the city.
Tonight we're celebrating Nepali New Year - it will turn to the year
2064! So that should be interesting. Then one final day of training
etc, and I'm off to my school on Monday...wish me luck!
