Too bad, there was miscommunication among us and we decided to meet him and rest of the hikers at Koteshwor. Wishing Aawart a very happy birthday, we all finally met at Koteshwor and forgot everything that happened because of communication problem.]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/28589/2012/01/26/sanga-to-panauti/feed/ 3 http://www.everestuncensored.org/26575/2012/01/19/hike-to-seto-gumba/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/26575/2012/01/19/hike-to-seto-gumba/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:08:32 +0000 dthapa http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=26575 It was cold outside but the climate was very pleasant. All of us, fresh and enthusiastic, gathered at the Deerwalk premises at around 8 am in the morning. The van left the premises at around 8:30 am. After picking Rajendra from Sorhakhutte, we finally reached Swayambhu chakrapath at around 9 am. The van stopped at Hungry House Restaurant where we had our morning breakfast. After having few talks with tea, bread and eggs, we finally headed off for the hike at 10 am. Our destination is Seto Gumba. ]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/26575/2012/01/19/hike-to-seto-gumba/feed/ 4 http://www.everestuncensored.org/26491/2012/01/12/exploring-the-origin-of-bagmati-river/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/26491/2012/01/12/exploring-the-origin-of-bagmati-river/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:14:24 +0000 Kanchan Raj Pandey http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=26491 Though the starting was in a luxury van, we had to be on our feet once the van left us at the gate of Shivapuri National Park. Initial target was to have comfortable hike to ‘Jhor’ from 'Pani-Muhan'. However the hikers chose to climb up to ShivaPuri and walk along the hillside to ‘Jhor’. As we walked for a few minutes gossiping and taking photos, Sushant suggested we take a short-cut, which was a steep up-hill climb. That was wonderful, everybody rushed up that path. As it was the beginning, everybody enjoyed the hill. We kept on walking up with snacks and photographs. ]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/26491/2012/01/12/exploring-the-origin-of-bagmati-river/feed/ 7 http://www.everestuncensored.org/26250/2012/01/04/makalu-top-to-annapurna-base/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/26250/2012/01/04/makalu-top-to-annapurna-base/#comments Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:37:39 +0000 Sumit Shrestha http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=26250 Two years of continuous work without a long vacation had taken a toll on me. I had been on both sides of Annapurna and wanted to be on mountains once again. Sunil and I had been working on our project Makalu, for a while and we desperately needed a break. We set plans to be at Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and taking several days’ leave rushed to Pokhara leaving office around 3:15pm on a Friday. We stayed in Pokhara at my home for the night.]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/26250/2012/01/04/makalu-top-to-annapurna-base/feed/ 14 http://www.everestuncensored.org/26097/2011/12/23/hike-from-godavari-to-phulchoki/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/26097/2011/12/23/hike-from-godavari-to-phulchoki/#comments Fri, 23 Dec 2011 08:53:16 +0000 Kanchan Raj Pandey http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=26097 Phulchoki is situated at the height of 2782m from the Godavari. It is the highest hill in the south of the Kathmandu valley. Hiking to this area is most interesting because of its natural vegetation. It is said that the place is famous for the bird watching as over 250 species of the birds are found over there. Also there are many different animals like the barking deer, leopard, bear and the other animals. We don’t know whether it was our good luck or the bad luck we didn’t encounter any of these animals .Phulchoki is also famous for its winter snow fall which happens there for the short time on winter.]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/26097/2011/12/23/hike-from-godavari-to-phulchoki/feed/ 2 http://www.everestuncensored.org/25997/2011/12/14/romance-with-sailung/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/25997/2011/12/14/romance-with-sailung/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:30:20 +0000 Kanchan Raj Pandey http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=25997 This is a travelogue of a soul that was yearning for a nice hike in Nepal. After joining Deerwalk, if there is a perk I can think of, the opportunity to hike with fellow colleagues definitely ranks at the top of my list. We couldn’t have chosen a better place- Sailung. Sailung (27° 33' 42.12" N 85° 58' 29.58" E), at the elevation of 3192M, was a summit from where you are able to make out with Makalu (5th highest mountain) on the east and dance with Dhaulagiri (7th highest mountain) on the west still keeping an eye on Everest. ]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/25997/2011/12/14/romance-with-sailung/feed/ 24 http://www.everestuncensored.org/25887/2011/12/08/kulekhani-hike/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/25887/2011/12/08/kulekhani-hike/#comments Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:57:12 +0000 Kanchan Raj Pandey http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=25887 Kulekhani is a village development committee in Makwanpur District in the Narayani Zone of southern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 2972 people living in 535 individual households The Kulekhani watershed is located 50 km southwest of Kathmandu and is the source of water for the Kulekhani reservoir, which supplies water to two hydropower plants ($120 million total investment). When the reservoir was completed in 1982, it had a 100 year design life based on projected sedimentation rates. Unfortunately, due to high erosion rates and landslides in the watershed,]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/25887/2011/12/08/kulekhani-hike/feed/ 7 http://www.everestuncensored.org/25814/2011/12/04/ranipauwa-to-nuwakot/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/25814/2011/12/04/ranipauwa-to-nuwakot/#comments Sun, 04 Dec 2011 15:05:13 +0000 Kanchan Raj Pandey http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=25814 It was a brilliant Saturday morning when we gathered at the office around 7:30am and a few of the hikers joined us from Balaju. We traversed the Balaju-Bypass road and the beautiful scenery of mountain range and view of distant hills greeted us with a promise of an enjoyable day ahead. We arrived in the Ranipaunwa from Kathmandu after a drive of about 40 minutes. We had a breakfast there and heard from the locals that Sisneri was only a hour away. So in search for a tougher route, we decided to go to Nuwakot Durbar (about 5-6 hours on foot). We started around 9:30 am and everyone was ready...]]> http://www.everestuncensored.org/25814/2011/12/04/ranipauwa-to-nuwakot/feed/ 4 http://www.everestuncensored.org/25730/2011/11/29/trekking-from-okharpauwanuwakot-to-tileghar-tile-house-naubise-dhading-nepal/ http://www.everestuncensored.org/25730/2011/11/29/trekking-from-okharpauwanuwakot-to-tileghar-tile-house-naubise-dhading-nepal/#comments Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:17:48 +0000 igajurel http://www.everestuncensored.org/?p=25730 The group comprising of Abanish Kayastha, Bhuwan Shrestha, Kapil Pandey,Lava Kafle,Rudra Pandey,Surendra Nath Adhikari, and Sushant Pokharel (the great Photographer for the team) moved from kathmandu driven along the narrow black topped road curling down towards Okharpauwa Nuwakot District where whole waste of Kathmandu Valley is dumped.

It was the day we celebrated very first Deerwalk Annual Festival "Fallwalk". After Ashay kick started the show, our Executive Chairman Rudra Pandey gave his presentation to all employees of Deerwalk to let everyone know where we stand right now and where we are heading in coming days. He believes success should always be measured by number.
