Walking through the blanket of snow
by Devendra Bhattarai
Our destination was much further than Kade Deurali, the place near Pokhara from where the rain and snowfall had begun. From Ulleri we had to travel to Poon Hill, then to Ghandruk through Tadapani. On the occasion of the tenth Nepal-Korea joint painting exhibition, we had a wonderful trek in the Annapurna region.
Clearing the walking trail
We had to reach Poon Hill with an altitude of 3,210 meters. After deciding that we would proceed only if there was no more snowfall that night, we went to sleep. It took 2 hours for us to reach Poon Hill which is actually 1 hour ascend from Ghodepani.

The sunrise had already matured when we reached there. Some were lying around in the snow, others were splattering it about. The peaks of Macchapuchhre, Dhawalagiri and Annapurna were playing ‘hide-and-seek’ among the thick clusters of fog.

At dawn the next day, we left for Tadapani. We saw buffalos shivering in the cold while moving ahead in the snowy layers. The snowy scene was like Caravan movie.

We also had to walk sideways in fearing that the snow collected atop trees would plunge down and bury us. When we reached Deurali, severe snowfall left no option but to rest somewhere. We were compelled to stay that night at Bishwakarma Didi’s Hungry-Eye lodge in Banthanti. We rested there in the midst of the snowfall and our friend’s knee-ache. It grew so cold in the night that we were forced to sleep with our entire clothes on.

The three hours journey from Tadhapani to Ghandruk through Bhainsi Kharka-Sitkyu took us nearly five hours due to snowfall. Though it was called the ‘village of model Gurung homes’, the increasing concrete jungle was very obvious to the eye. Only in the morning rays of the sun, as we were leaving Ghandruk, we did feel that we had left behind the long association with winter.

Hello,
Thank you for such a nice pictures. I today realized that Nepal is really beautiful country. If the author, put pictures according to events that happened and with small story (but real one), it would be great. Keep it up.

Many thanks for such a nice set of photographic presentation. We’ve never played with thick blanket of snow while in Nepal. This year we got little bit of snow fall at Enschede in the Netherlands. We thought we’re luckey to touch it. Now, we see your vivid photographs of nature from our home counutry and we start to think what we’ve missed for so many years.

This is the one thing that we can really proud on. It™s my wish to touch the snowfall hills in Nepal, when I was there, but because of Maoists problem I gave up my hope. Now the situation looks more comfortable, I will definitely accomplish my wish this time, when I™ll be there.

Hi Devendra ji
Thanks for the very beautiful pictures of natural beauty of Nepal. Its always good to see these kind of pictures from our country especially for we people who are apparently away from it now. But when i see these pictures i also feel sorry for the people living in these places. Its so hard to live in this kind of region when you have no heating facility available. I live in europe and i work at night in snow and i know how hard is it to bear this extreme cold and wet conditions. I have to say we nepalese are very stong build from inside we can face any problems in our way to step ahead. I love my country and my country men.
beautiful Nepal brave nepalse.

Devendra Ji…
Sometime words are not enough to express ones feelings for the other soul mate…and when it comes to “Phalano.com” i think your web site is the begining of the new Nepal era for all of us Nepalese living inside/outside of our Beautiful Country…i know these type of picture will surely overcome and win the heart & mind of not ony our brothers/sister of our country but will also earn the respect & love through out the globe for once knowen as Peace & heritagely rich
NEPAL…. (or should i emphassis as through out Eternal..!!??)
Once again …Thank You soooo Muccchh..!! for your work and efford
We hope your work and efford will be an insperation to all our Bro/Sis
who are going through a bad turmoil in our country which at this stage is slowly tearing apart by ethinic claims….it’s high time we must learn & teach our future genaration that..”together we stand, divid we fall…the rest is upon the thinking abilities of the indivisual..

Many thanks for the wonderful photos. You were very lucky to do ’special trekking’. I love to use some of the photos for my PhD research since I have done oral history interviews in Ghorepani and Ghandruk. Sorry, my program at NEFEJ on 12 December 06 was a bit late to wait participants and you had to leave for another assignment.
All the best and congratulations for the job well done!

Nepal is truly historically and naturally HEAVEN. God and Goddess used to live here in ancient time.
I traveled Europe, American, Japan and Australia, But Nepal is still the most beautiful country in the world. Other countries are beautiful but artificially.
Do you have any photos of Far west and Far north of Nepal?

Do you have any plan to go there and take some pictures?

Thank you so much for the pictures.The Ghorepani is my home town where i grew-up and i used to be play in this area since my childhood. Now i am far way from this lovely place, which is unfortunate for me. The people are saying that the re-markable place in the world. As many tourist from the world over the world saying, this is one of the piece of the haven. I also met several people in the world. That is the place never forgetable in their life time. I my self also stupid what is the reason not to stay in my lovely place in Ghorepani.
I have two comments. 1 That Name of the hill is (PUN HILL) not poon hill and the Name of the village is Ghorepani not ghodepani. but actually it doesn’t make differences.
Thanks for the Pic

Very nice picture, Nepali is really rich in its natural beauti. But very poor in politically and economically. If people leave to follow bad and corrupted politics and politican and every one follow peace and hormoney Then Tourism may help nepali to rise economic status.

Thank you,Devendra ji for all the lovely pictures which reminds me of my own dozens of trekking in that area of Annapurna range.The entire area is awesome in its natural beauty,the people most hospitable and the views exceelent.One is inspired to become a poet!It would be superfluous to add any more comments as so much has been covered by other friends from all over the world.Peace,the elusive Peace is all that we need to live in harmony with the Nature.Your efforts are commendable as the pictures speak more than pages of tales.Needless to say that we miss our beautiful and beloved country-Nepal.
