If you are looking for a small walk, a short hike and a beautiful view. You have to check this place at Kavre. From Sanga, where the Shiva statue (143 feet high) is situated, it is a drive of 20 kms from the K-town. The statue is finely made and can be seen from far across the road. As the last minute plan mostly works out, this outing was one of them. We reached the place by 10 in the morning and none of us knew the place that we were going to. It surely had to be adventurous .We started kidding around with the destination that we had to reach pointing out to various hill tops.

Seeing the weather forecast for the day we were all layered up with our warmers and pullovers. As we started off from our starting point we asked one of the locals on how far the temple was. With the previous experience of mine I was sure those two hours was their time and for the non-walkers, it would be the best to multiply by 2 that is about 4 hours. As we kept walking the sun was shining bright and our prediction was totally wrong about the climate. We were a group of seven and with the catching up and talks the time just went by. The roads were pretty good, no narrow lanes; not much of uphill we saw cars passing by us too. And yes, the name of the place is right here.

20140111_11221620140111_114231The different shades of green, various kinds of farming, the greenery, mustard plants with the prominent yellow, brick houses with open windows, the candy clouds and the mixture of all the colors of nature was making the view all the more enthralling. The hike is really simple and one of the easiest ones. I guess we came across so many types of trees that we had not seen in the longest times. With the usual photo sessions and getting loads of memories of the trip we got back in 4 hours straight. We thought we were slow hikers, but apparently we were just on time, moreover a little before time. With a quick lunch and some games that we had so much fun playing, added two more words to our dictionary- khappi ( Reminds of cuppa, doesn’t it ) and gand pana which we are still not clear on what that really means. So if you have more idea on, do enlighten : P

A well spent Saturday ended with deep conversations and awesome music and a drive back. As each trek teaches you so much, we 20140111_104607saw a kid make his own car, Kudos to him. He was so happy to pose for us and we saw this man without his slippers walking on the rocky surface. Each trip gives in a reality check and makes us realize we are fortunate for such a perfect and awesome life:)
