Gorgeous Ghorepani

Making a local connection Nepal

Nature hasn't lured me like this before . One of the best place to trek for beginners in Nepal is Ghorepani trek. A scenic view of Annapurna range is such satisfying that u will have your heart left on for the rest of your life. Our trek started on 7th of feb from chitwan , terai of Nepal. 1st nyt we stayed in Pokhara . Pokhara itself is beautiful city and with the soothing shower , made the day more pleasing. Next morning we hired a Jeep to nayapol and had breakfast, next stop was ulleri . We had our lunch at 11 am . From there was 4-5 hr of trek to Ghorepani. Hadn't been trek in my life before. It was tough for me to walk across narrow logged bridge, between the jungle and a very steep hills. Higher the climb , more beautiful is the view. With every gain in altitude , it was becoming tough to walk but the pleasing scene would left us forget the bad and enjoy the moment. What added the flavour in our trek was snow shower. After a moment the green vegetation turned white like a someone casting a spell. I haven't seen like this before. It was the first encounter with snow for me. From the hot terai , travelling to the minus degree region was a lifetime experience to me. 4 hour trek took 6 hour for me and my 4 other friends. At 6 pm we reached Ghorepani. The travel was not ended yet. An hour trek to poonhill for sunrise view was our main reason. Have learn a lot about and seen in vlog about poon hill , but the reality was way above expectation . Nobody can capture the nature in camera which the eyes can. At 6 :25 the sun rose infront of my eye ,Putting the warm rays into my body . I wonder as if it's the same sun which would burn me like the hell in chitwan . I wanted to stay there for ages . But what nature is best at it's endless beauty. I have just seen a piece Miles to go before I sleep.
