He Huakaʻi Hau o Bhutan - 29 Lā

E lele ana ʻoe i Paro. ʻO Paro ke kumu nui mai kahi e hoʻomaka ai kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek. I ka lele ʻana, e nānā i ka ʻāina nani o Bhutan a me nā wāwae o ka lani. Hiki ʻoe iā Paro. E hui ʻoe me kāu alakaʻi Bhutanese. Na lākou e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i kou hōkele.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻomaka ʻoe i kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek. Mai Paro, e holo ʻoe i Shana. Ma hope o ke kaʻa ʻana ma kahi o 20 mau minuke, hiki ʻoe i Drukyel Dzong, kahi āu e ʻai ai i ka ʻaina awakea. E hoʻomau ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi. Ma hope o ka holo o 1- 2 hola, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ʻo Shana. Mai ʻaneʻi, hoʻomaka kāu huakaʻi maoli.

Ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Shiring Karup, e hele ana ʻoe ma nā māla maikaʻi ʻole o ka laiki, ka palaoa, ka bale, ka sinapi, ka ʻuala, ka ʻuala, a me nā pua bipi. Ma ke ala, e ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻike mua o ka mauna ʻo Jomolhari (7314m). Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kekahi mau kilomita, hiki ʻoe i ke kauhale mamao o Shiring Karup. ʻO ka pō ma kahi hoʻomoana ma Shiring Karup.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hele wāwae ana ʻoe i loko o ka Jigme Dorje National Park. ʻO ia paha ka ʻāina palekana nui loa o Bhutan. ʻO ka huina o ka ʻāina o kēia paka aupuni he 4350 sq. km. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hale mahiʻai kaʻawale a me nā holoholona hihiu ma ke ala e hele ai i Soi Thangthanka.

Aia ka nahele o Soi Thangthanka i nā ʻoka, maple, birch, larch pine, alders, a me rhododendrons. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana ma kahi o 7 -8 mau hola ma ke ala Bhutan Snowman Trek, hiki ʻoe i Soi Thangthanka.

ʻO Jogothang kahi kaulana ma ka huakaʻi hele wāwae hau o Bhutan . Mai laila mai, e ʻike ʻoe i ka hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ka mauna ʻelua kiʻekiʻe loa o Bhutan, ʻo Chomolhari. Aia ia ma luna o ke awāwa mamao. Mai Thangthanka mai, pono ʻoe e hele wāwae no hoʻokahi hola. E haʻalele ʻoe i ka laina ululāʻau a piʻi i luna i ke kauhale nani i kapa ʻia ʻo Tengethang.

Maanei, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i ke ola mamao o Bhutanese. He kula nui ma ke kaona kahi e pāʻani ai nā keiki. E hele ana i kekahi mau kilomita, e hōʻea ʻoe i ke kahua hoʻomoana o ka mauna Chomolhari. Hiki i ka nui o nā mea hele wāwae ke loaʻa i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe ma ke kahua hoʻomoana. ʻO ka pō ma ke kahua hoʻomoana.

He mea nui ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka climatization ma Bhutan Snowman Trek ma kahi kiʻekiʻe. No laila, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lā hoʻomaha ma ʻaneʻi ma Jangothang. Inā makemake ʻoe i ka hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o nā mauna , e hele wāwae ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola mai Jangothang.

ʻO kekahi o nā wahi kaulana ma Jangothang ʻo Tshophu a me Nyile La Pass. I kēia lā, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā pono i ka nohona kūloko o ka poʻe Bhutanese. Aia kekahi mau ʻohana yak ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko. E loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o Chomolhari a me Jitchu Drake mai ʻaneʻi.

I kēia lā, e hele ʻoe ma waena o kekahi mau wahi me nā hiʻohiʻona exotic o ka puʻu Himalaya kupaianaha. ʻIke ʻoe iā Jitchu Drake, 6,850m/22,470ft, a me Tsering Kang, 6,994m/22,946ft. Ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana i luna ma kahi o 4 mau hola, hiki ʻoe i ka Nyile Pass ma 4,817 mika.

Mai laila, pono ʻoe e hele i lalo i Lingshi, kahi e ʻike mua ai ʻoe iā Dzong. Ua poino ia e na olai. Aia nō paha ka hana hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā hale, nā hahai holoholona, ​​a me nā hale e hele nei. Me ka wā maikaʻi o Bhutan, e hauʻoli ʻoe i ka hele wāwae a hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā mauna.

Ma kahi o 4 - 5 mau hola e hele ai a hiki i Nyile la Pass mai Lingshi. Ma ke ala i ko mākou Bhutan Snowman Trek, e ʻike ʻoe i nā kahu hānai yak a me nā stupas liʻiliʻi ma ke ala. ʻO ka pō ma kahi hoʻomoana ma Nyile la Pass.

E hoʻomau ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi me kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o nā mauna. E nānā ʻoe i nā kuʻuna nani o ka poʻe Bhutanese. I kēia lā, e hele ana ʻoe i ka ʻākau hikina a hiki i Lingshi Dzong. Aia ma ke ala he nahele alpine kiʻekiʻe i piha i nā rhododendrons a me nā lāʻau pine.

Inā laki ʻoe, loaʻa paha iā ʻoe ka nani o Daphne nani. Hiki ʻoe i ke awāwa ʻo Chebisa. E pīhoihoi ʻoe i ka nani a me ka ʻokoʻa o Chebisa. Ua hana ʻia nā hale i ka pōhaku a hoʻokahi hale. Ma ke ala i Chebisa, e hele ʻoe i kahi wailele nui a nani. ʻO ka pō ma Chebisa.

Mai Chebisa, ʻo Shomuthang kā mākou huakaʻi hele. He nui nā piʻi a me lalo o ke alahele ʻo Bhutan Snowman Trek i Shomuthang, no laila paʻakikī paha iā ʻoe ke hele. ʻO Gobu La pass, ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 4440 mika, kahi ala ʻē aʻe āu e hele ai i kēia huakaʻi.

Mai ʻaneʻi aku, hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i ka ʻike hope o ke kauhale nani ʻo Lingshi , kahi i loaʻa ai ka ʻike maikaʻi loa o nā mauna. Hele ke ala i Shomuthang ma ke awāwa nani ma lalo o Jarela. Mai ʻaneʻi aku, pono ʻoe e iho i lalo ma waena o ka nahele. Inā luhi ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomoana ma ʻaneʻi ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana no kahi hapalua hola mai ka nahele mai.

He hele lōʻihi kēia lā, no laila pono ʻoe e ala i ke kakahiaka nui. Ma hope o kēlā, e hoʻomau ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi hele i Robulahang. Ke hoʻomaka ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi, pono ʻoe e piʻi i luna, e hele i nā pali mauʻu a me nā puʻu makani. Ma hope o kēlā, hiki ʻoe iā Jare La Pass. Ma kēia alahele, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hipa Blue a me nā lammergeiers.

Ke hōʻea ʻoe i ke āpau, e ʻike ʻoe i ka hōʻailona o nā hae a me nā koina. Mai laila mai, e ʻike ʻoe i ke awāwa a me Sinche La pass. Ke neʻe nei ke alahele ʻo Bhutan Snowman Trek i ka ululāʻau o rhododendron, spruce, cypress, a me ka pulupulu i ke awāwa. Ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana i ke awāwa ʻo Robulahang, e ʻike ʻoe i ka poʻe kamaʻāina e ʻaʻahu ana i nā lole ʻokoʻa.

ʻO ka ʻāpana paʻakikī loa o kēia huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo ia ka Bhutan Snowman Trek a i Limithang ma o Shingle La Pass ma ka Snowman Trek a i Bhutan. ʻO ke keʻa ʻana ma Since La Pass e lawe ma kahi o 4 - 5 mau hola o ka piʻi ʻana mai kahi hoʻomoana. He paʻakikī kēia piʻi ʻana i Sinche La pass no ka mea pololei ke ala i luna.

ʻO ka hele wāwae ʻana me ka māmā a paʻa e hoʻoikaika i ka hōʻoluʻolu. No laila, paipai mākou e hele wikiwiki me ka hoʻomaha ʻole ma kēia Bhutan Snowman Trek. I kou hele ʻana i ka pass Shingela La, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o Gnagchenta.

I ka iho ʻana i nā pali mauʻu e paʻakikī ke hele. Ke neʻe aku nei ʻoe i Limithang, e ʻike ʻoe i ke kai ʻulaʻula nani. ʻIke ʻoe i kahi kahawai keʻokeʻo ma lalo o ka piko nani "Tigers Ears." ʻO ka pō ma kahi hoʻomoana

Mai Limithang, ʻo Laya kāu huakaʻi hele aʻe. Hoʻomaka kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek me ka iho ʻana mai ka Zamdo Nangi Chhu i ke kauhale o Laya. ʻO ke kauhale ʻo Laya ke kauhale nui loa ma kēia huakaʻi. Pono ʻoe e hele i loko o ka ululāʻau manoanoa a me ka muliwai nani ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka ululāʻau.

ʻO ke kauhale ʻo Laya wale nō ke kauhale ma kēia huakaʻi i kūkulu maikaʻi ʻia a waiwai i ka moʻomeheu a me nā pono. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā ʻano mea like ʻole ma ʻaneʻi, me ke kula nui, ka uila, a me ka hōʻailona kelepona, a i kēia manawa he lā wale nō, ʻo ke poʻo alanui ma Koina.

Aia nā ʻaʻahu lauoho yak a me nā pāpale ʻohe conical ʻē. ʻO ia nā mea nui i kaulana ma Laya. ʻO ka mea hoihoi o Laya, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe Tibetan/Mongolian ma mua o ka poʻe Bhutanese e noho nei.

ʻO ka Acclimatization ke kī i kahi holomua Bhutan Snowman Trek. I kēia lā, hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou ʻoe ma Laya. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu i ka luhi a me ka ʻeha mai ka hele ʻana. Aia kahi ʻauʻau pōhaku wela ma Laya, kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i kou ʻeha a hoʻomaha.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha i kēia lā a e ʻimi i ke kauhale nani o Laya. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio pū me nā kānaka kūloko. ʻO ka hele ʻana i kahi mau mika mai ke kauhale ʻo Laya e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻike maikaʻi loa o nā mauna. Kaulana nā lio ma Laya, a hiki iā ʻoe ke holo iā lākou.

Mai ke kauhale ʻo Laya, e iho lōʻihi ana ʻoe i ke awāwa. A laila e hele ʻoe ma ka ʻīpuka lāʻau, e haʻalele ana i ke kauhale 14 Laya. He kahiko ka ʻīpuka lāʻau a he nui nā manaʻo moʻomeheu e pili ana i ka poʻe e noho ana ma laila.

Ma hope o ka hele ʻana no ka hapalua hola mai ka ʻīpuka, hiki ʻoe i ka pou koa o Takasaka. Mai keia wahi aku, e hele ana no kekahi mau kilomita, e hele ana oe ma ka hikina a hiki i Lunana. He mea kōkua ke piʻi mālie i ka nahele i kahi hale kahiko ma ʻaneʻi. ʻAʻohe kauhale a noho kanaka ma ʻaneʻi.

E piʻi mālie ana ʻoe i kahi kiʻekiʻe mai ʻaneʻi. E komo ana ʻoe i ke awāwa kani me nā mauna Pōhaku ma hope. ʻO ke ala ʻo Bhutan Snowman Trek i Rodhophu he ala pōhaku e piʻi ai i lalo. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana no kekahi mau minuke, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi māka. Pono ʻoe e hōʻike i kāu palapala hele a me kāu passport ma laila.

Ma hope o 2 - 3 mau hola o ka hele ʻana ma ke ala pōhaku ʻo Bhutan Snowman Trek, hiki ʻoe i Tsome la Pass, kahi wahi nani a mamao o Bhutan. Ma hope o kou hele ʻana i ke ala, hoʻopuni ʻia ka ʻaoʻao o ka mauna nui o ka huakaʻi. Ma ke ala i Gangla Karchung la, e ʻike pū ʻoe i ke kuahiwi nui o Gangla Karchung (6395m).

ʻO kēia ka lā maikaʻi loa o kēia Bhutan Snowman Trek. E piʻi ʻoe i ke ala, kahi āu e ʻike ai i nā loko glacial a me Kang Bum 7100 mika. Hoʻopuni ka ʻōpala o ka ʻōpala ma luna o ka Lunana i ke kuahiwi.

Ua like na loko me na nahesa e wili ana i ke awawa. Hele ke ala ma ka nahele nui o nā rhododendrons ʻulaʻula. Hāʻawi ia i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o nā mauna. Mai ka ululāʻau rhododendron, hiki ʻoe i Tarina ma hope o ka hele ʻana no kekahi mau hola.

Mai Tarina, e hele ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i lalo. Hoʻopuni nā pā pōhaku a me nā piko pōhaku i ke awāwa i lalo. E ʻike ʻoe i nā aniani exotic o ka wailele mai ka puʻu. Nui ka waihoʻoluʻu o ke awāwa, me nā pua a me nā heather waihoʻoluʻu a puni.

Ma hope o kēlā, e piʻi hou ʻoe a hiki i ke kauhale Lunana mua o Woche. Kaulana loa ʻo Woche no kāna kī, a he ʻano ʻano like ʻole o ke kī maikaʻi loa o ka honua. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā poʻe kamaʻāina o Woche.

I ka lā aʻe, e hele hou aku ʻoe i Lhedi. ʻO ke alahele ʻo Bhutan Snowman Trek i Lhedi e hele i ke ala Kashe La. Ma ke alahele, e nānā ʻoe i ka loko kapu ʻōmaʻomaʻo o nā kānaka. He mea kōkua inā mahalo ʻoe i ka moʻomeheu o ka poʻe, a ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ke kiola ʻana i ka pōhaku a me ka ʻōpala ma kēlā loko.

Ke hoʻomau nei ʻoe i kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek, pono ʻoe e hele i Kashe La pass, nona kekahi mau mauna nani. Ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana no kekahi mau hola, hiki ʻoe i Lhedi. Aia kekahi kauhale nani me nā hale kaula ma nā ʻanuʻu kiʻekiʻe. He muliwai e kahe ana ma ka aoao o na kauhale. Ua hana ʻia nā hale ma ʻaneʻi i ka pōhaku.

Pilikia ke alahele o ka Bhutan Snowman Trek i Thanza, me nā hui he nui. Eia naʻe, inā hele mau ʻoe mai Lhedi, hiki ʻoe iā Thanza i loko o ʻehā hola.

Ma ke ala, hiki iā ʻoe ke kū ma Chozo, ka hiʻohiʻona o nā mauna ma ka ʻĀketika. Mai Lhedi mai, pono ʻoe e hahai i ke kahawai a hiki i ka huina, a laila e hahai ʻoe i ke ala i ke awāwa luna. Ke hiki ʻoe i ke awāwa luna , e hele ʻoe i Chozo ma hope koke iho o kekahi mau minuke o ka hele wāwae. He kauhale nō hoʻi ʻo Chozo no Lunana, a ʻoi aku ka poʻe o ke awāwa ʻo Chozo i ka manaʻoʻiʻo i nā ʻuhane.

Mai ke kauhale ʻo Chozo, pono ʻoe e hele ma ka pāpū, a me ka liʻiliʻi, hiki ʻoe i ke awāwa kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, he kūlanakauhale nui i māhele ʻia i ʻelua ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai.

E hele ana ʻoe ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola mai ʻaneʻi a hiki i Thanza.

ʻO kēia ke kolu o ka lā acclimatization o kēia Bhutan Snowman Trek. E hoʻomaha ʻoe a e ʻimi i ke kauhale o Thanza, e kūkākūkā a kamaʻilio pū me nā poʻe o Thanza.

E ʻike pū mākou i nā mea hou e pili ana i ka moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna o ka poʻe e noho ana ma ke kauhale ʻo Thanza. Hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i ke komo ʻana i ka lole moʻomeheu a me ka lole kuʻuna a me ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani maʻamau o ka poʻe kūloko.

E hoʻomau ʻoe i kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek ma ka piʻi mau ʻana mai Thanza. Mai ʻaneʻi, pono ʻoe e hele i ke ala ʻo Gophu La.

Ma ke ala, e ʻike ʻoe i ka piʻi a me ka iho ma ke ala pōhaku me nā wailele liʻiliʻi mai nā puʻu. E ʻike pū ʻoe i ka ʻike nui o ka loko i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka hau kiʻekiʻe ʻo Peaks Mountains.

Ma hope o kou hōʻea ʻana i Tshorim ma ke ala ʻana i ke ala ʻo Gophu La, ʻelua mau kahua hoʻomoana: hoʻokahi ma mua o ka loko a ʻo kekahi ma hope o ka loko. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i kahi kahua hoʻomoana a noho i ka pō.

ʻO kēia lā ka lā nani loa o kēia huakaʻi. I kēia lā, loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā piko o ke kuahiwi a me ka mauʻu uliuli. I ke kakahiaka, e ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻike maka o ka puka ʻana o ka lā mai ka waena o nā piko mauna.

Ke hele ʻoe i ka Gophu La, e ʻike nui ʻoe iā Gangkar Punsum, 7,550m/24,770ft. ʻO Geche Woma kahi hoʻomoana ma ke awāwa kahi āu e noho ai i ka pō.

Hoʻomau ka huakaʻi i lalo i ke awāwa. Mai ke awāwa, ma hope o ka hele ʻana ma kahi o 45 mau minuke, hiki ʻoe i ka ʻaina awakea. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha a mākaʻikaʻi ma laila no kekahi manawa.

A laila, pono ʻoe e hele i ka Saga La Pass, a i ka wā e hele ai i ke ala, e ʻike ʻoe i nā kuahiwi. E hele mālie ʻoe i lalo i ke ala kiʻekiʻe mai ke ala, a mai ʻaneʻi, hiki ʻoe iā Sachu Kheti ma kā mākou Bhutan Snowman Trek.

ʻO kēia kekahi o nā lā kupaianaha o ka Bhutan Snowman Trek. I kēia lā, e hele ana ʻoe ma waena o nā ʻāina mahiʻai, kahi o nā hale kiaʻi ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, nā puʻupuʻu ʻokoʻa, nā halo pōhaku, a me nā ʻāpana cantilevered nui.

ʻOiai e hele ana i ka pass i kapa ʻole ʻia, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi ʻike nui o Saga La Pass. E hele ana ʻoe ma ke awāwa nui mai ke alahele, e hele ana ma kou ʻākau me nā piko hoihoi a me nā pali.

He lā nui kēia, a he luʻi nui ka Bhutan Snowman Trek. He 45 mau minuke a hiki i kahi loko nui mai ka Demsho Wom.

Aia ma lalo pono o ke ala ʻo Demsho La he awāwa nani me nā loko ʻelua. Aia kēia awāwa i kahi mamao loa mai ka moʻomeheu. He pāpaʻu nō ka noho ʻana ma kēia ʻāina. E hanu ʻoe i ke ea anuanu a maʻemaʻe ma kēia ʻāina. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ke ala a me ka huakaʻi no kahi o 4 mau hola, hiki ʻoe i Tshering Dorji Yak Herder Cap.

ʻO kēia kekahi o nā lā koʻikoʻi o ka Bhutan Snowman Trek. I kēia lā, e ʻaʻa ʻoe i nā ala liʻiliʻi he nui a hana i ka cam hope loa ma Padim. Hele ke ala ma nā loko he nui ma nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a piʻi i luna a iho mai ʻaneʻi a hiki i ka huelo, aia kahi paepae mauʻu.

Ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia he ala e hiki ai i Gangkar Punsum e hele ana i ka ʻākau, akā no nā kānaka wale nō, paʻakikī loa ia no nā holoholona, ​​no laila ma hope o ka hele wāwae ʻana mai ʻaneʻi, hiki ʻoe i Padim.

Inā ʻoe e ala i ke kakahiaka nui, e ʻike ʻoe i ka nani o ka puka ʻana o ka lā a me nā mauna.

Ma hope o kēlā, e hoʻomau ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi. I kēia lā, e ʻaʻa ʻoe i ʻelua ala. ʻO ka mua, e hele ʻoe ma Khemi La Pass, a laila neʻe i lalo a hele i Chachi La Pass.

Ua kokoke mākou i ka hopena o ka Bhutan Snowman Trek. I kēia lā, e hele mākou i ka Chachi La pass a hele i ka Maurothang. Ma ke alahele, ʻike ʻoe i nā hiʻohiʻona nani a maopopo o nā piko o ke kuahiwi. Ke hele nei ma ke ala sloop a me ka mauʻu, hiki ʻoe i Maurothang.

ʻO kēia ka lā hope o kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek. He 4 mau hola e hele ai i Sephu. Mai Sephu e hoʻokele ʻoe iā Paro ma Punakha. Ma ke ala, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka monastery kahiko loa ma Punakha. Ma hope o kou hōʻea ʻana i Paro, e hele mākou i ka hōkele a hoʻomaha.

ʻO kēia ka lā hope o kāu Bhutan Snowman Trek. Hoʻopau ka huakaʻi i ke kakahiaka ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka. E lawe mākou iā ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele no kāu lele hoʻi i kāu huakaʻi hele.
