Self motivation

 A new day unfolds,

With new aspirations and opportunities.

May the vigour and rigour multiply,

For He is omnipresent to identify.

Feel His grace, 

And embrace the days.


Good luck to myself on the re-opening day of school! 🎒🎒🎒

Image
 Day 4 (2.10.22) - Phakding (8563ft/2619m) to Namche Bazaar -  (11,300 ft / 3,447m) Phew! Escaped the bathrooms of Snowland.  Motto for the next few days. Eat-Trek-Rest-Repeat! I had bread toast,Oats porridge and Ginger Lemon Honey for B'fast. We were mentally prepared for a challenging and killer trek. All our backpacks were packed with candies, protein bars, electrolyte, water bottles, raincoats, trekking poles, sunscreen and caps. The Tenacious Troopers as we called ourselves set off @8:10am after the customary photoshoot.  This was no race, n o c ompetition. I decided to go slow and enjoy the trek and formed the backbenchers gang - Prem,Rudra,Karthik,Asha, Nayan and myself.T he first few hours of the trek was a trail along the left bank of the Dudh Kosi River was a picturesque countryside. Our jogpeys also followed us diligently. Beautiful fields beside the houses dotted the path. The locals grew cauliflowers, cabbages, lettuce and double beans. The myriad hues o...

D10 Gorakshep

 D10 Louboche (16,153ft) - Gorakshep(16,629ft) - Base camp(17,593ft) - Gorakshep(16,629ft) Fingers crossed to accomplish our feat today! All of us were braced to face the day with all grit and determination despite many odds.  Gorak Shep  or  Gorakshep  ( Nepali :  गोरकशेप ) is a small settlement that sits on the edge of a frozen lakebed covered with sand in  Nepal  with the same name.  Gorak Shep means "dead ravens," because of the complete lack of any kind of vegetation in this place. Experienced vagaries of weather conditions right from the beginning. Cold morning turned into a sunny day in no time, I just felt like ripping off all my clothes. We got amazing views of Nuptse and Luptse en route Gorakshep. All of us enjoyed the stretch until we reached the moraines, where there was no path but just huge boulders and we had to negotiate our way crossing those one at a time. The constant sound of ice breaking off into the glacial lakes ke...

D8 Acclimatisation Day @Dingboche

Image
 Day 8  6.10.22 Rest day or Test Day @14,000ft A bitterly cold morning, freezing waters and chattering teeth reminded me that I was in Dingboche (Dingu-poche) 😀. It is a beautiful , small village with a population of approximately 200 people, and is a popular stop for trekkers en route to the Base camp. Many petty shops stocked almost everything from water bottles to raincoats, colourfully woven woollen gloves, headbands and toiletries, of course at premium rates. An early morning solo stroll gave some breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks.The rising sun shone on the peaks and the melting snow shimmered like precious gems. Shiva joined me later looking for alpine choughs, sunbirds and robins. My roomie preferred to stay indoors. Today's target was to reach upto an altitude of 400m from our tea-house and return. As per the study on high altitude sickness, it has been found that most of the people suffer or show signs of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) from the altitu...
