The types of transportation I used this week included planes, buses, jeeps and my own feet.
Three days after leaving Larjung, we arrived in Ghorepani, another small village in the north-central part of the Himalayas. The next morning I got up at 4:30 am and went on a sunrise hike to a place called Poon Hill. It was very tough because it was a 1,000-foot climb in the dark and cold, but it was very rewarding and beautiful! It felt like first I was walking through the stars and the outline of gigantic mountains, and then the sun was touching the tips of these same mountains.
Do you know the names of the two major mountain ranges in New York State? I'll give you a hint: one rhymes with “bat hills.”
Ready to pick up again with our Nepali language lessons? I'm going to teach you some nature words. “Mountain” in Nepali is himal, “waterfall” is jharanaa and “river” is nadir.
