E kiʻi mākou iā ʻoe mai Airport no kāu huakaʻi monsoon Nepal. E kipa aku i ke kikowaena mākaʻikaʻi o Kathmandu me nā hale kūʻai, nā hale ʻai, nā hōkele a me nā hale hoʻokipa. E nānā i loko o nā lumi ma kahi hōkele. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe a loaʻa i kahi meaʻai momona.

Ma hope e haʻalele e ʻike i nā luakini o Kathmandu kahiko loa - Swyambhunath Stupa, aia ma luna o kahi puʻu me nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke awāwa ʻo Kathmandu.

E hele pū ma ke kuamoʻo i kahi luakini kahiko ma kāu huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Nepal. E hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona nani i ka wā napoʻo. E hoʻi i Thamel i ke ahiahi - hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae a kūʻai aku ma ʻaneʻi no kekahi manawa a laila hoʻi i kou hōkele no ka ʻaina ahiahi. Noho i ka pō ma Thamel.

I kēia lā, ma kā mākou huakaʻi monsoon Nepal, ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻokele mākou no kahi o 15 mau minuke a hiki i nā hale kaulana loa ma kēia kūlanakauhale mauna - Pashupatinath. Ma hope aku, e holo ma kahi o 30 mau minuke a hiki i ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Bhaktapur - kahi kahua hoʻoilina honua UNESCO.

E hoʻolālā i nā hola e hiki mai ana e ʻike i nā luakini a me nā hale aliʻi; ʻaneʻane ua hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia kēlā me kēia a he hana nani a me ka hoʻolālā ʻana i hui pū ʻia, ke kālai lāʻau koʻikoʻi ʻole, nā pōhaku lepo a me ke keleawe.

Ma hope aku, e ʻai i ka ʻaina awakea a holo ma kahi o 20 km i hoʻokahi hola a hiki i Nagarkot i ke ahiahi. E kiʻi i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ma ka lae kiʻekiʻe ma ke kualono e kū nei kēia kūlanakauhale. E hoʻolilo i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā me ka nānā ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā puʻu Himalaya nui i uhi ʻia e ka hau o nā pae Langtang, Annapurna a me Khumbu - ma kahi lā maopopo hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā Everest, hoʻi i Kathmandu.

E haʻalele ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka no kā mākou huakaʻi ʻo Nepal Monsoon season a holo i Pokhara. Ma ke awakea, hiki ʻoe iā Kurintar. E haʻalele ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma ke kaʻa i Kathmandu. Ma hope o 1 ½ hola, kū mākou ma Kurintar.

E holo ma luna o ke kaʻa swish cable (Gondola) e leʻaleʻa i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi e hiki ai i ka piko o ka puʻu. Aia ma ʻaneʻi ka luakini ʻo Manakamana - ʻo kēlā me kēia Nepali e kipa aku ai, a makemake paha e kipa i kēia heiau nona ke akua e hoʻokō mau nei i kāna makemake. E hoʻomaikaʻi (inā makemake ʻoe) a i ʻole e mahalo i kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ka Himalaya i uhi ʻia i ka hau.

E hoʻi i ke kahua kahua ma ke kaʻa uwea a e ʻai i ka ʻaina awakea ma ka hale ʻaina maikaʻi ma ʻaneʻi. Ma hope aku e holo a hiki i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Gorkha i ke ahiahi.

He wahi koʻikoʻi ʻo Gorkha i ka mōʻaukala o Nepal ʻoiai ʻo ia ka wahi hānau o King Prithvi Narayan Shah, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i Nepal hou. Aia ʻo Gorkha ma kahi puʻu me nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā piko hau o ka Himalaya. ʻO ia ke kumu o nā koa Gorkha kaulana.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, haʻalele mākou i Pokhara ma kā mākou Nepal monsoon season huakaʻi a me ka huakaʻi. Ma hope o ka holo ʻana o 4 hola i Pokhara e ʻike ʻoe i ka nani o nā puʻu nani o Manaslu a me ka mauna ʻo Annapurna i uhi ʻia i ka hau.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka panorama Annapurna maikaʻi loa i ke kua i Pokhara mai ka loko. I kēia lā ua manuahi ʻoe a nānā a puni ka Lakeside, hiki iā ʻoe ke holo waʻa ma ka loko Phewa. Noho i ka pō ma ka hōkele.

E ala aʻe ma ka hola 0500, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a hoʻokele i kahi mamao pōkole e hiki ai i kahi ala huakaʻi huakaʻi kaʻapuni Nepal; ʻO ka piʻi ʻana he ½ hola e piʻi ai ʻoe i ka piko o kahi kualapa a me ke kauhale o Sarangkot. E hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa e leʻaleʻa i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ka puka ʻana o ka lā o Annapurna Peaks e ʻālohilohi ana i nā waihoʻoluʻu o ka ʻalani a me ke gula i nā kukuna o ka lā kakahiaka - ʻo ka mea āu e ʻike ai he poina ʻole a kūpono hoʻi i ka pilikia o ke ala kakahiaka.

E hoʻi i kou hōkele i ka manawa e leʻaleʻa i ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui ma kēia huakaʻi monsoon Nepal. Ma hope o ka ʻaina awakea e kipa i ka hāʻule ʻana o David kaulana, kahi hoʻomoana o ka poʻe mahuka Tibetan, ke ana ʻo Mahendra a me ka hale hōʻikeʻike kahiko.

I ke ahiahi, e hahai ʻia kahi huakaʻi waʻa ma Phewa Lake kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o Annapurna Himalaya Range i hōʻike ʻia i kona nani a pau i ka wai ʻōmaʻomaʻo mālie o ka loko a kipa aku i ka luakini ʻo Bindavasini e moe ana i waenakonu o ka loko.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ʻoluʻolu e holo mākou i ke kauhale ʻo Bandipur ma kā mākou huakaʻi monsoon Nepal ma kahi o 3 mau hola. I ka hōʻea ʻana, e nānā i kahi hale hoʻokipa e kū ana ma ke kaona.

Hoomaha o ke ahiahi ma ka lealea; e hele a puni ma nā ala pōhaku cobbled – ʻaʻohe kaʻa kaʻa, e hauʻoli i ka hoʻolālā nani o Newari a me ke ʻano o ka nohona kuʻuna i hōʻike ʻia e ka poʻe, e ʻike i nā hale a me nā luakini o kēia wahi.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e ʻono ai i ka meaʻai kaulana Newari. Noho i ka pō ma Bandipur lodge.

ʻO ke ahiahi Hiki iā mākou ke hele wāwae e ʻike i ke ana ʻo Siddha – ʻo Nepal ka mea nui loa. Loaʻa iā ia nā ʻano stalactite kupaianaha (e ʻoluʻolu e lawe i ke kukui uila). Hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa iā Patale Dwar—he ana kokoke i manaʻo ʻia e ka poʻe akamai he mea kupanaha ka honua.

E hele hoʻi i Bandipur me kahi ʻai i hoʻoulu ʻia e hōʻoia i kahi ʻaina awakea. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele mālie a puni ke kūlanakauhale. He kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi maikaʻi me ka nani o kēlā me kēia hale i kūkulu ʻia i loko o ka hale kūkulu hale ʻo Newari.

Ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui ma kā mākou huakaʻi ʻo Nepal monsoon season, hoʻi mākou i Kathmandu. E hoʻoneʻe i ka hōkele, i ke ahiahi e manuahi ʻoe no ke kūʻai ʻana a me ka leʻaleʻa, ahiahi mākou e lawe iā ʻoe no ka ʻaina ahiahi.

Inā haʻalele ʻoe iā Nepal a ʻaʻole hoʻomau i kāu hoʻomaha ma Nepal ma hope o kāu huakaʻi monsoon Nepal, e hoʻokuʻu mākou iā ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele International e hopu i kāu lele hoʻi i kou home. Makemake mākou iā ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi hauʻoli ma ke ʻano kuʻuna a me ka moʻomeheu o Nepal a manaʻolana e ʻike hou iā ʻoe.
