Langtang Trail
Now begins the second part our journey. On to Langtang and then home. After Briddhim we headed out the next day for Sherpagaon, but changed our plans when we discovered that the village only consisted of lodges and no actual homes. So we continued onto Lama Hotel, which is also only lodges and no homes. We stayed in a pretty crappy lodge that didn’t have very good food. Of all the places we stayed at it was my least favorite. It just wasn’t a very nice place. We would not be stopping there on the way back. It was a beautiful place though. We were right next to the roaring, the moon was full, and the scenery of the trees was amazing. As horrible as the service was the view was great. After Lama Hotel we continued on our journey up towards Langtang. The next day would be a very long one. We got up early and were gone by 8 am. We hoped to be getting to Langtang by mid afternoon. Originally we were going to be staying in a place called Ghodatbela. Again we discovered that all it was was lodges and choose to continue on. We did stop for lunch there though. It was a wonderful little place. It was up above the trees and was beginning to get flat. It was all rocks and shrubs. It reminded me a lot of the Grand Tetons. The river was a lot like the Snake river that runs through the Grand Tetons. It honestly felt a lot like being back in the states camping. After lunch we continued our journey on to Langtang. The best part about Langtang was the cheese and bread factory. Although we didn’t actually get to eat anything until we came back through Langtang. One of the craziest things that happened in Langtang was a member of our team getting bit by a horse. Alissa tried to pet a horse and it ended up biting her on the side and threw her to the ground. She ended up with a big bruise on her side. It made it difficult for her to hike the rest of the trip. We had an extra day in Langtang and choose to go to Kyanjin Gumba. Which was about 3900 meters, or over 13,000 feet. It was an absolutely beautiful place. One of the most beautiful places that I have had the opportunity to go to. The peaks were amazing and so were the glaciers. We had nothing but great views for 4 whole days. I hiked around for hours just starring in awe of the beauty that was surrounding me on all sides. I couldn’t get enough time there. The following day we headed back down towards Langtang where we finally got to have some delicious food from the cheese and bread factory. We had freshly baked apple pie. The man literally pulled it out of the oven moments before we arrived. It was some of the best apple pie I’ve had in a while. I felt like I was sitting back at home at our annual pie party. It didn’t last long, but for a moment there I began to miss home. That night we got a little rain and snow. Now it didn’t actually snow on us specifically, but all the peaks around us were now heavily covered in it. The next day we planned on going for a long day. Possible an 8 hour day, and that was going to be down hill. We left early and made our way down to a place called Bamboo Hotel. There was actually no bamboo at bamboo Hotel, but it didn’t matter much. It was a nice place and it had begun to get a lot warmer. It had been cold for days higher up in the mountains. During the day the sun kept you warm, but the moment it disappeared it would drop into the low40s or high 30s. It never got to freezing where we were at, but it got very close. At Bamboo Hotel we began a competition with some of the local lodge owners and other guests there. There was a giant rock there and the competition was to see who could run up it and stay on top. We were out there for almost a hour. The entire community had come out to watch us. It was a blast. The following day we headed back to Shaphru Besi where we would take the bus back to Kathmandu. That day was a very special day. It was Nathaniel’s birthday. We didn’t do anything special for him because that was the way he wanted it. We got back around noon and had our first Coke in a long time. You take for granted the things you can so easily get in the city. We walked around the small town a bit and just sat around and rested. I was able to have an incredible conversation with our translator that had come with us from Kathmandu. It was great to talk about life with him. We got our bus tickets, this time they were for the inside, for the next day. We got up the next morning bright and early and headed for home. It ended up being another 12 hour bus ride back to Kathmandu. We got back and I was very excited to have my own bed again. It is a very comfy bed. Well that sums up our trip to Langtang. The journey was an incredible one. One that I would love to repeat again someday with my family. Again thank you all for those of you that have been keeping me in your prayers and checking up on me from time to time.
Tamang Heritage Trail
Trek number 3 was a wonderful trip. It took place in two different places. The first place was an area called the Tamang Heritage Trail and the second was the Langtang area. Both were amazing and I loved every minute of the trip. My first entry will be about my time in the Tamang Heritage Trail.
We left Kathmandu at about 7:30 in the morning. It took us about 45 minutes just to make it about a mile down the road. We happened to be leaving on the biggest holiday in all of Nepal. We didn’t have a ticket prior to leaving so we showed up that morning ready to find a bus. Well all the insides of the buses were filled so we had to sit up top. We hoped on the next bus headed to Shaphru Besi. That was the beginning of a very long day. We had to ride on the back of the top of the bus. My butt was split by the bars I had to sit on. I had no cushion. At one point I had to stand on the back of the bus just to give my butt a rest. We started out with some cool weather before the sun came out. After the sun came out it began to get really hot. We baked in the sun for a few hours. Then came the dirt road. It started out with yellow dirt and changed to white dirt. After about 7 hours of riding the bus it broke down. Luckily I had my hammock and was able to take a nice nap for about 2 hours. The kids on the bus had never seen a hammock before and were intrigued by it. After I had put it up they began to swing it for me. After the bus got fixed we hoped back on top and headed on towards our final destination. Right when we hoped back on the bus it began to drizzle, that drizzle turned into a light sprinkle, that light sprinkle turned into a heavy sprinkle, and that turned into a rain. It was absolutely miserable. For 2 hours we rode on top in the rain and got completely soaked. After that 2 hours we were able to move into the bus for the last 2 hours. Come to find out that a dog was able to get inside before I was able to. We were on the road for almost 15 hours. The next day got a lot better. We headed from Shaphru Besi to a small village called Gatlang. We arrived in the late afternoon and discovered a wonderful surprise. The point of us being in the area was to do research on the Tamang people group. Anything we could find out we wrote down. One of the greatest things we were able to find out was that in the Gatlang area at least 80% of the people are Christians. We were surprised by the amount of Buddhist things in the village. We asked the owner of our lodge and he said that most of it was for show. It was pretty crazy. From Gatlang we headed to a nice little placed called Tatopani. Now if you know anything about the language of Nepal you would know that Tatopani means hot water. This nice little town had hot springs that they had had pumped into some pools. They were natural hot springs. We took a nice little bath after we had walked in the rain for a few hours that day. We were able to hang out in the kitchen and warm up. The best part was being able to dry out our clothes that had been soaked that day. After Tatopani we headed to Thuman. We walked through a lovely little village called Gayang. This village is on the top of a “hill” that has the most wonderful view. To bad the clouds had rolled in and the view was obscured. What should have been a beautiful view turned out to be nothing. The great thing about Thuman was the brand new lodge we got to stay in. We were the first ones to stay in the lodge, which was great until the next morning. There were about 60 people that decided to come to the lodge to bless it at about 6 in the morning. It was a great wake up call. Although we did wake up to a beautiful view. We could see the mountains in full view. After breakfast we made our way to Briddhm. We took a les direct path instead of going the normal way we went the Nepali way. Straight down and straight up. At the bottom we decided to go fro a swim/bath. I had a great little fall. Well it actually wasn’t that small. I rolled about 10 feet or so down some rocks. I cut up my ankle a little, banged up my bag a little, and cut open my pants. After that we took a nice cold bath in straight glacier melt water. It’s some of my favorite water to swim in. The cold water does the body good. We made it to Briddhim late in that afternoon and stayed in a great lodge. When we got there we found a man who had been bitten by a snake and his arm had begun to swell up. He prayed for him and paid for him to be portered to a American doctor that was doing medical clinics in a nearby village. So that is the end of our adventures on the Tamang Heritage Trail. The following day we would be heading up to Langtang. The first half of the journey was incredible, except for the rain and the falling down. This is one place I would like to return to in my life. Maybe next time I will bring my family.

Trek 2 in Manaslu
So time to talk about trek number 2. Lets just say that this was not my favorite time in the mountains. We hit a few rough patches here and there on this trip. I will say it had it’s ups, but mostly it’s downs. The point of this trek was for research purposes. The goal was to do research on a group of people know as the Northern Ghale. Due to the fact that Alissa had been sick during the Solu trip she was not going to be going with us on your second trip. So it was me and Nathaniel that would be doing this trip together, well also with our guide. To start off this trip we had to find a guide first. Before we could find a guide we had to find where these people are located. All we were given was a name and nothing else. So step one was to find a location for the Northern Ghale people. Through some preliminary research we had discovered the area where the Northern Ghale people lived. Next was to find a guide that would lead us to that area. The area was Manaslu. It is a very beautiful area that is still very untouched by western hands. We found a an agency that would take us to the area. The plan was to spend about 10 days on this trip. Including 2 days of travel and 8 days of trekking. The traveling was an adventure to say the least. Traveling by bus is a trip in a foreign country. If you have ever been on a bus in a foreign country then you know exactly what I am talking about. It’s not easy to describe what it is like, but I will try. Due to the fact that we are in the mountains the roads snake very closely to the mountain and the cliffs. There were at least a dozen different life or death situations. It was awesome, at least I thought so. Nathaniel was not so excited about almost dying a lot. Like I said at the beginning of this post, I did not enjoy this trip that much. It began with the lovely bus ride. As much as I enjoyed the tide, my stomach did not. I puked about 6 or 7 times out the window of he bus. I then again puked in the back yard of the guest house we stayed at that night. Being sick was not fun. Then began the trekking the next day. The area we were in was very low compared to Kathmandu. The monsoon season was over making the clouds to go away and the sun to come out. It was ridiculously hot the entire time we were there. The wind wasn’t to excited to show it’s face. The combination of all those factors made it for a miserable time hiking. I have yet to sweat that much in my life. The other part that made it extremely miserable was the fact that my body was covered in approximately 300 flea, bed bug, and mosquito bites. Lets just say that did not provide for a very fun time at all. Remember all that research I told you that I was supposed to be doing, well lets just say that was not all that fun. After 5 days of research and talking to tons of people in many different villages we discovered that the Northern Ghale people did not exists. We were not to happy to discover that our research wasn’t turning out to be what we wanted it to be. After much deliberation and gathering of information we decided to head back about 4 days early. Overall the trip could be classified as a success, but it still was not enjoyable. The area was beautiful, but the trip itself was not enjoyable.
Trek 1 in the Solukhumbu
First of all I apologize for the lateness of this entry. I have been a little busy and a little lazy. Maybe a little more on the lazy side. After my first trip, and my second, I took some time off to rest and enjoy myself in this beautiful country. So first I will give you a summary of my first trip to wonderful area of Solukhumbu. I may have to break this down to a few different posts. I was in the mountains for 21 days and a lot happened in those days.
The flights to Phaplu had been delayed for almost 5 days due to the monsoon season. Which meant there was a good chance we would not be going to the mountains that day. Good thing we have connections in high places. There were only 2 flights that went out that day and we were able to get on the second one. We were able to jump ahead of all the people that had been waiting for 5 days to get a flight out. The plan we were on was about a 20 passenger plane. It was a very fun 30 minute flight over the mountains. We could see lots of waterfalls falling out of the foothills and flowing into the rivers below. We landed uphill on a dirt/grass/rock landing strip. From there we met our guide/translator who would spend the next 3 weeks with us. Except for the times that he would randomly disappear and the just show up again out of no where. We walked a few hours to what would be our home for the next week. There would be 5 of us staying there. Me, my partners Nathaniel and Alissa, my supervisor Jessica, and our second translator Sanga. We were staying a local house that was being used as a guest house. They had a couple extra rooms which made for a great guest house. They feed us for almost every meal and gave us tea anytime we wanted it. We would go back and forth between a view villages meeting lots of different people. We got to spend an afternoon at the local school playing with the kids. Me and Nathaniel got to teach some of the kids a some games. The views we got to see that week we’re amazing. We weren’t actually able to see the mountains until the last day we were in the area. The rolling hills covered in rice patties, corn fields, and groves of pine trees were the most gorgeous sights I had yet to see in all of Nepal. After that first week in the small town called Bitikarie we headed back to the main town of Salerie. This was a very nice town. It was the headquarters for the area of Solu. This town all sorts of wonderful things. Hot showers, internet, satellite phone, good food, and coke. We stayed a few days there before we headed out to our next destination. We went a village called Nelle. Now Nelle is a bazaar town and every Tuesday the village floods with people selling all sorts of goods and buying many others. The village is empty every other day of the week. We stayed for 4 days doing training with the local people. At one point we became the honored guests of the town. We were there during the Nepal version of Father’s Day. It’s mostly a Hindu holiday so not everyone celebrates it. Well this town was celebrating this holiday. We were roped into a meal as the honored guests. It was actually pretty cool. It was actually right after we had finished a great game of soccer. The field was one nasty place. The field was covered in rocks, giant puddles of water and mud, and random water lines. At one point I almost killed myself. I tried to pull the most epic save of the ball from going out of bounds. Remember how I told you how the field was covered in water and rocks, well that was an issue. I slide farther than expected and almost killed myself flying of a small cliff and into a building. It was epic though. After that we headed back to good old Salerie. While on the way there we discovered that our teammate, Alissa, had become very ill. We later discovered that she had a parasite. It was a not a good thing. She was to be heading back to Kathmandu with Jessica and Sanga. Me, Nathaniel, and our guide Pauldin would be heading out in a few days for a week of trekking. In the mean time we were resting and watching movies on Pauldin’s computer. That next week of trekking was going to be crazy. Everyday was a new village. Some days were short and easy, others were long and difficult. I would say the best part about that trip was the food. In one house we had great apples picked straight form the tree and bear meat. Yes bear meat. It had attached a woman the day before and they had shot it. It is the best meat I have had yet in Nepal. Going back to what I said earlier, on the last day I was in the area I got to see the full Himalaya range. Including Mount Everest. We had to get up pretty early to see it, but it was amazing. The snow capped peaks were absolutely gorgeous. I could see Everest’s peak far off in the distance. It was a wonderful way to start off the day. Half way through that same day we got to do some great swimming in a nice cold stream pouring down from the top of the mountain. We finished the day in a nice quiet hotel room watching an American made movie. It was one of the best days we had had yet while being there. The next day we were able to fly out a day early. Again it is nice to have friends in high places that are able to push you in front of the rest of the people that had been waiting days to get a flight home. This time we flew on a much smaller plane. It was an 8 passenger plane this time. We could actually stick our hand out the gap in the door. It was fun flight back to Kathmandu. Well that is the short version of our 21 day trip through the mountains. It was an amazing trip that was filled with many adventures. The trip was a great experience for me. The Lord did a lot of things in my personal life that will affect me for the rest of my life. I can truly see Him working in my life
