We all gathered at Deerwalk premises early at 7:00 AM on Sunday to start our hiking trip. After breakfast at 109, we set off in a van for Kritipur, looking forward to the day ahead. The weather was perfect, and everyone was excited to enjoy the beautiful trail and some views ahead.
We arrived in Kritipur at around 9:00 AM and began our hike from Machegaun, stepping into the scenic trails. As we progressed, some members moved ahead quickly, eager to reach the next stop, while others took a more relaxed pace, steadily trying to catch up and enjoy the surroundings along the way.
Some of us reached Chap Danda by 10:40 AM, where the whole group soon gathered again to take a well-deserved break. We enjoyed some light snacks there, shared stories, and refreshed ourselves before continuing. Our journey took us next to Bhasmasur. At this picturesque spot, we paused to capture some memorable pictures and videos, savoring the beautiful surroundings. Refreshed and energized, we resumed our hike and reached Champadevi at 2:00 PM, taking in the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere.
The final stretch brought us to Hattigaun by 4:00 PM, where we concluded the hike and boarded the van for our return trip to Deerwalk. Back at the premises, we ate lunch on 109 degrees, reflecting on the experiences. At around 6 in the evening, we parted ways to head home, carrying wonderful memories of a rewarding and enjoyable hike.
Overall, the hike was fun and satisfying. The hike ultimately delivered what we expected from it, good food, good company, and a wholesome experience to bring back home.
