"~~~Let me take you far away, you'd like on a holiday....~~~" If this song had been serenaded for me, I would, without any hesitation, close my eyes and picture a week of camping in the Rocky mountains, Grand Canyon or even in the Shanandoah mountains! Maybe a day or two of tubing and/or rafting and the rest spent in strenuous hikes, awakened by hot steaming cup of Adhuwa Chiya; accompanied by drifting conversation, punctuated with moments of comfortable silence!!!! Ofcourse, nothing like hitting the "nap sack" with aching limbs!!!! Strange, it has remained "wishful" but now, I am beginning to think that if I talk up a storm about it, it will happen, soon enough! hehe!

Has anyone gone on a camping trip like that or a cross-country trip? Would you please share your experiences on where you went and what you liked about it. If I ever make it there, it would be fun to take along your thoughts too. How about the one place you would desire to visit in this life time????? Care to share?

Hey all!!

I wanted to share with you all an article I have come across recently. I am sure many of you have heard of it and are well aware of it. Even then, I thought it would not be a waste to mention about it here on Sajha , for the news relates to someone amongst us that shines like the Sun , true to her name as well as virtues...

I do believe, with due respect to her, that every Sajhabashis should read it. I hope I am not on the dangerous grounds by posting this message...

The article can be found here....

No camping, hiking or trekking this year...! Lots of places still to visit like Mustang, She-Phoksundo, Rara, Khaptad, Milke and a few more. Might remain wishful thinkings considering Nepal Ko Awastha...:-(

But certainly going for a bungy jump in the Bhote Koshi... this Dasain. Yippeee!

Everest Base camp for me, someday!

Well, I just wanted to share my experience of camping in colorado. I did not go to Rocky Mtn but to more to the west and south west of colorado. it is so wonderful experience to camp. It really refreshes your mind. Our first camping was near Telluride and and next was on South fork, near Pagos Spring. I am from the remote village of Nepal where I grew up in GOTTH . camping trip reminded me of the Gothale life...collecting firewood, sitting by fire, cooking food, telling ghost storis, listen to birds, howling of hayena.
surely it is a nice getaway from the city life and be in the tranquility of nature. the camp site we were was at 9,500 ft elevation and in the morning it was 20 F. I woke up with breathtaking view of moring sunshine on the green mountains but it was cold cold cold!!! there was frost on the ground and water was so cold to wash face. but I warmed up with the left over fire and hot and strong coffee....
