Essay on My Hiking Experience

        Hiking refers to the activity of going for long walks in the country for pleasure, knowledge and exercises. Last year, I went hiking with my friends. It was full of pleasure and knowledge. It provided us heavy physical as well as mental exercises. Since then, I have felt that hiking is really beneficial for us.

Nepal is rich in natural beauties and gifts. We can have tremendous benefits if we go hiking and observe these natural entities. Last year summer vacation was heavily advantageous for us. As we wanted to go hiking, at firs, we decided the places where to go. We decided that we were going to visit different places in Solukhumbu district, the famous region consisting of snow-capped mountain peaks including Mt. Everest.

We made a complete plan for our hike. We formed the hiking group consisting of ten members including a medical staff, an M.B.B.S. doctor. He was very eager to go with us. Then, we visited the tourism board of Nepal to collect the information of the location. We decided to go to Ziri in Dolakha by bus and from there trekking would begin. We made a complete map of the route from Ziri to different places. Then, we bought some equipment and thing required in the hike. Some of the things we bought and managed were extra clothing, firs-aid-kits with some medicines, carbohydrate snakes, sunglasses, a map of the route, a compass, carbohydrate snakes, sunglasses, a map of the route, a compass, flash lights, extra batteries, matches, knives, brimmed hats, woolen socks, jackets, some utensils required to prepare food, alight gas-stove, etc.

We hired a microbus to go to Ziri. Our journey from kathmandu began at 7 a.m early in the morning. At 2 p.m, we reached at Ziri. We sheltered at a hotel that night. Next morning, we enjouyed tea at the hotel and started to trek to our destination. As we left Ziri, we realized that God had given us many things there. The trekking route was full of natural beauties and gifts such as many water falls, rivers, various types of plants, birds and animals, and so on. We walked very slowly enjoying whatever we saw on the way. We took many photographs of those thins. We could see the beautiful snow-capped mountain peaks to the north.

After three-hour walk, we wanted to have something as we felt hungry. We chose a grassland and set our tents. Then, we set a fire near the tents and started to preparer meal. Our friends Sanjay felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. Our doctor checked him up and provided some carbohydrate snacks and medicines. After an hour, he felt fine. We didn’t light our gas stove as we saw adequate firewood there. Some of our friends started singing and dancing. Rajib played the guitar well I heard while I was preparing meal. As our meal was ready, we had it. We felt the meal was tastiest. After two hours, me moved ahead towares Salleri, the district headquarters of Solukhumbu. We visited different places such as Salleri, Phaplu, Junbesi, Gokyo, Dudhapokhari and Chaurikharka (Lukla).

We felt that our hiking to solukhumbu region was really fruitful. We have widened and depended our knowledge and experiences. I had never thought before that Solukhumbu was so beautiful. Heartily speaking it is a piece of heaven.
I have realized that a Nepali citizen has to visit Solikhumbu once in order to illuminate his/her heart.
