Rejuvenating the spirit
Thirteen ladies of D2 were all set to rejuvenate their spirits into one of the most cherished tradition named ‘Hiking’. The vivacious beauties congregated at D2 premises on a misty Sunday morning and left around 6:45 am with every intention to explore the adventures of the new trail. Since this was the first one-of-a-kind ladies hiking, we thought of enhancing the already unique event by coming up with a dress code. Everyone agreed to wear white tops to show uniformity. Cracking jokes, taking snapshots, and sightseeing along the way, we headed towards our destination.
We started our hike from Lele. After walking for some distance, we saw a school named ‘Sri Gupteshwori Nimna Madhyamik Bidhyalaya’ at a place called Nallu. We decided to stop by and spend some time there. We had a short interaction with the teachers and distributed stationery and chocolates to the students. Then we bid them goodbye and continued with our hike.
After a while we stopped for breakfast at a local tea. While waiting for breakfast, we came up with a brilliant idea to play “Dumb Charade” and had loads of fun. AnjanaS was victorious in the game and Brija was the funniest. She had to enact this movie called “Musafir”. By showing her white-colored T-shirt and her gesture of playing badminton, everyone guessed that the actor was none other but “Jeetendra” – some style he’s got!
After a hearty breakfast, we headed for Lamidanda, our ultimate destination. This was probably the toughest part of our hike because of the steep climb; and the simple fact that it was monsoon made it even worse. The route was teeming with blood-thirsty leeches. The frantic cries of the hikers were common after being attacked by the leeches but the parasites couldn’t deter the spirit of the thirteen ladies. Instead, we learnt a lesson from them: “Run for your life”. Whenever we stopped for some rest, the very sight of the leeches stretching their heads out to reach to us made us forget our tiredness and run further up. Brija was left wondering why the leeches stayed at places where people hardly tred. They might as well go and live in the cities.
Learning the lesson of the day, all the hikers ventured up the hill in the cool weather that further revitalized them. We finally reached the army barrack on the top of the hill. The open field and the view were both captivating. We were really amazed at the beauty of the place.
On the way back, we stopped to plant paddy as it was Ashad 15 – the day people sow grain in the country. The local population was warm and hospitable. We joined them to plant and plough, and sang folk and Ashare songs with them. So enthralling was their voice that some of us even started dancing to the tunes. They were also so delighted that they offered us some of their home made pickle. After spending about an hour in the muddy field, we headed back to Kathmandu.
Though we left the place, and the leeches, and the school, and the tea shop that took us back into our childhood, and the marvelous view, and the field planting with the locals, and the sweat behind, we carried with us memories to last for a life time.
After all, the pain and the loss of blood were definitely worth the experience.

And, as u can see the theme based hiking is getting interesting and exciting as ever. This hike definitely gives a neck to neck competition to the previous hike.

why to wonder how long did D2girls hike..
After all hiking is for refreshment and spending quality time with D2 family.. Hiking does not mean torturing yourself and making the whole team sick of the term “HIKE” in the name of Best Hiker
We really had gre8 fun, with around 6 hours hike and variety of activities…cheers!!!

D2KoKeta/Vendatta/POLL, Even women have PM Hiking: http://www.womenhiking.org/hikes/ so it was not baulaha hiking at night. .See women hiking org http://www.womenhiking.org/about/meetlead.asp . Hiking means not only hiking easiest way, but being baulaha/insane, copying your terms, hiking all along life against diffculties, compassion, and troubles. Whole life is not only pleasure as displayed here, but full of challenges,diversities, and shortcomings. The beautiful women really displayed their worth, value, and creativity. I do not like to call them girls as they look mature enough to be women and we do not say girl’s rights but Women Rights.
Poll, you must be right that they hate males/boys/and men completely.They want to change the course of nature with unnatural relationships, which is good in today’s world when we look at different happenings around western world being copied in Nepal also. Everybody is free to live one’s life and decide own fate/lifeline. If all women hated men like the hiking team, we would not be here and they would not be here to make this fantastic opportunity.

hiking is for fun. If u don’t enjoy the hike then there’s no need to go for it. U can just relax at ur bed, don’t come for hike if u don’t like it.
@ lava -”Whole life is not only pleasure as displayed here, but full of challenges,diversities, and shortcomings”
Seems like u know the meaning of life hmmmmm !!.
Don’t try to define life in ur way. To show that u can walk like no other and u can even walk at night does not mean that u are a good hiker.
There are challanges in life…. but at the time u hike lets forget all those stuffs and enjoy the beauty of nature. One’s life should be filled with bliss, and enjoyment.

Thanx for ur suggestion.. We are not hiking just to burn our calories but to explore nature and have fun at the same time. By the way we do have problem to gain weight until we r in healthy range.
And yes correct ur quote first. Its “Bandar kya janey adrak ka swaad”.. so u never know how much we enjoyed the hiking trip …

Team work we believe, Know work our motto and love work we appreciate.
All gals hike demonstrates the team work of gals, is for knowing the complexity of hiking and for loving and enjoying every moment.
It neither violates the nature for unnatural relationships neither it claims for men being hated by women.
Today gals can reach the top of the world(Sagarmatha), fly high in sky, and go beyond earth’s atmosphere.
Make a habit to accept it.Don’t underestimate gals.
