Hiking from Sankhu to Nagarkot
Hiking from Sankhu to Nagarkot

Hiking Theme: Hiking from Sankhu to Nagarkot Hiking Route: Sankhu to Nagarkot Date: Sunday, Feb 07, 2010 Hiking Duration: ~4.5hrs. Hiking Distance: ~12km. Participants: AsimS, BipinK, DineshB, NabinM, NarendraM, RameshB, RaviS, SanketS & SudipK Photos: RaviS, AsimS and NabinM Report: NarendraM Hiking Coordinator: DineshB Creative Support: Ganesh Thapa, Sangharsha Bhattarai
The rays of wintery-warm sun penetrated the obscured clouds just before we touched the bottom of our one-day hiking spot-‘Sankhu’ from where we were to hike to reach the roof of Nagarkot. It was already 9 am and we, the 9 hikers, in, for the hiking event coordinated by DineshB reached our starting point. We'd have searched almost whole Sankhu bazar before getting in to a local sweet shop where we had our reveling breakfast. It was barely conspicuous the two hills we were to hike because of the engrossing pollutants in the atmosphere. Straight ahead to the East from ‘Sankhu’ we reached the ‘Panchmeshwori’ temple at the bank of the beautiful river ‘Shalinadi’. The temple looked a variant of ‘Pagoda’ style and humorous analysis of NavinM uttered as though it might have been modeled by drunken sculptors! RaviS and AsimS- the enthusiastic photographers, like miniatures capturing every details of microcosm nature. Ahead of us were three routes: two so-heard cycling and thru-Shreeban routes and the third as guided by our co-coordinator and the local people. We stepped up for the cycling route but later we came to know that we were just walking the common graveled road. We did not know where the ‘Shreeban’ was located but one senile woman informed us that we had already crossed it! Then we started up to follow odd trails making our own way through the jungles asking the locals in the way to our destination. DineshB once asked a school kid, "Vai yo bato kata pugchha?(where does this road go?)". The student pompously replied, "Yo bato ta mero ghar pugcha."(this road reaches my home)

It was a bit difficult climbing the high hills but a lot of resting sessions helped us to maintain pace. Sometimes routes were misleading, ending either to a house or a cow villa! Reverting and finding the way was an unassigned, undeclared task for me and RaviS. The key to good navigation was obvious: we could see the roof of Nagarkot—the direction. All along the way we traversed many patches of jungles, encountered the trail of caterpillar, alluring beauty of ‘Aaru flowers’, little kidos of goat, puppies, schoolchildren, marriage-jovial-houses etc. etc. to reach finally the roof of Nagarkot—the tower. From the tower, we could see a few black-spotted mountains as a result of climate change, the greenery around it, one of its few remedies, barely visible scenes, and some lovebirds.

Then we enthusiastically went to visti the planetarium but there found the answer “Yaha auna ta Singhadarbar ko pass chahincha”. Then we finally killed our hunger with condimental local ‘Khana.’ with local Dal Vhat and local Kukhura. By 5 pm, we returned calm soothing our brains. All in all our hike was more thrilling, exciting than expected.
