Himalaya : Inspiring life, Inspiring soul

Himalaya : Inspiring life, Inspiring soul

Himalaya, The word from Sanskrit Language . Hima+Alaya, Hima means snow and Alaya means dwelling place of snow or home of snow. It is widely spoken language in Ancient time in south Asia. It is also consider as one of the oldest language in the world.  Nepali, Hindi and many of Languages are just Simplify from Sanskrit language.

Himalayas are considered as a home of God and goddess. We easily can see many prayer flags or temple on the top of foot hills. This is how Local People express their respect to different god and goddess who are in their mind or whom they trust.

I believe. Himalaya is my life. I love to walk around many Himalayas as many i can. I like to take pictures of Himalayas and share to the world. My life is Himalaya and my mission is share the Himalaya to every one. So wherever I go Himalayas, I try to take many pictures and share to everybody by different social media. I hope you all are feeling that you are trekking with me every time with my pictures.

I believe, Himalayas are the source of Happiness and peace for trekkers and climbers from around the world. Himalaya is the only one place in the world where peace is still prevailing. I only can fee/realize it after my 15 years trekking/climbing Experience in Himalaya. You have to trek around the Himalayas several times to feel it, to know it.

Heart Never Break

Heart Never break
when it breaks
we will pass away
it just changes a feeling
changes a heart beat
change a mind set
like change the film of camera
just like this
if you don't change the film in camera
you can't take another nice picture
similarly
if you don't change the mindset
you will feel bore
you won't feel interesting
To get all those
you have to change feeling
break heart in your words
then you will get it
Keep it
don't break heart
it's very beautiful
just clean it time to time
keep it clean
keep it in peace
keep it happy
keep it safe

Khumbu Ice-fall

I took these pictures on 2015 April 23 in Khumby icefall. I was climbing to Everest camp 1.  We have to pass the khumbu ice fall to reach Everest camp one. Khumbu ice-fall is known as one of the most adventurous and thrilling part during the Everest Expedition. If you climb Everest without Khumbu ice-fall. you won't feel like you climb Mt. Everest. That's the reason  most of climbers love to climb from south side(nepal side). 
If you choose adventure without adventure part, it won't call adventure . I better called it safeventure. You decide you love safeventure and adventure. My life without adventure won't be be my life. 
I love adventure 
Once in a life
once in time
once in click
may not again 
i am in adventure 
life without adventure 
is not my life

Life time memory of Adventure in Khumbu Icefall 

Climber Climbing Khumu Icefall 

Do you wish to take same pictures? Not easy but can try if you dare to climb. It's khumbu ice fall 

Khumbu icefall adventure 

I was climbing Khumbu icefall. I saw a snow whole and people were walking through.  I just try to find stop and take this shot

Everest Camp 1

Higher lands are Himalayas
where sun rises first
where sun sets last
where first and last meet

Himalayas are the home of nature
where beauties are hidden
where happiness are open
where peace is still remain

Himalayas are the life of human
where water remains as ice
where ice melted and become water
where water start to flow like life

निलो निलो आकाश मुनि

निलो निलो आकाश मुनि
सेतो सेतो हिमाल
नाच्दै नाच्दै आउँछे
डाफे अनि मुनाल
वारि डाडा पारी डाडा
डाफे गीत गाउछे
त्यही गीत सुनी सुनी
पारी मुनाल नाचिदिन्छे
वारि डाँडा पारी डाँडा
बिचमा खोला सुसेली दिन्छे
त्यही सुसेलीसगै
हाम्रो माया साटिदिन्छे

Climbing Training

Do you want to climb Himalaya? Are you worrying lack of  Experiences?  This is ancient thought. Time has changed. Lots water flowed down from Khumbu Khola . Lots of changes in service and arrangement. 
You don't need to waste your time for training and so on.  Your Job is just plan, rest are company's job. You don't need to think twice to join with me.

नेपाल कहिले बन्ला र कस्तो बन्ला

नेपाल कहिले बन्ला र कस्तो बन्ला

सायद अहिलेको युवा पुस्ताको मष्तिष्क यहि प्रस्नले भरिएको हुनुपर्छ । साच्चै कहिले बन्ला नेपाल । कस्तो बन्ला त नेपाल । के नेपाल बन्छ त । वैषाख १२ गते पछिका मेरो केहि गाउँ को भ्रमण, गाउँलेहरुसङ्गको  केहि अनुभव र सरकारले बनाएका केही नियमको आधारमा खिचडी कस्तो पाक्दैछ भन्ने कल्पना चाहिँ सजिलै गर्न सकिन्छ । आशा छ मेरो कल्पना गलत होस र सरकारको सपना साकार होस, सपनाको महलमा सिमित नहोस।
उदाहरण १: लगभग तीन हप्ता पहिला म कुनै गाउँमा थिए । सरकारका प्रतिनिधि सरकारले दिएको रु १५००० रुपियाँ  बाड्दै थिए ।  यो रकम लगभग तीन महिना पछि बाडिएको थियो । गाउले आए , पैसा लिएर गए । नाम नमिलेकालाइ पाँच जना गाउँलेको सिफारिसमा सरल तरिकाले रकम दिइयो । साच्चै यो सरल र राम्रो काम थियो ।
अब म विषय प्रवेश गर्छु । यो रकम एक त धेरै ढिलो दिइएको थियो । के कारणले हो थाहा भएन । प्रायजसो गाउँलेले  अस्थाइ घर बनाइसकेका थिए ऋण धन जे गरेर भएपनी । सायद त्यही भएर होला उनीहरुमा  आफुखुशी यो पैशा खर्च गर्ने हक राख्थे । भोलिपल्ट  म त्यही बाटो भएर काठमान्डौ जाँदै थिए । वरिपरि केही घरमा पसल थिए । केही घरमा भट्टी पसल थिए । केही घरका ढोका बन्द थिए । सायद यी घरहरु पुनर्निमाणको प्रतिक्षामा थिए । त्यही घरका पिढिमा केही मान्छे बेहोशिमा लडिरहेका थिए । वरिपरिका मान्छे भनिरहेक थिए कि । रु १५००० को कमाल । जो मान्छे आफै भारी बोक्ने वा यस्तै यस्तै काम गर्ने गर्थ्यो । उहिले नै एक बोरा चामल किनेर भरिया खोजेर घर गयो । रु १५००० को भोलि पल्ट भट्टिपसलको साहु-साहुनी मा  खुशीको चमक प्रष्टै देखिन्थ्यो । उता किराना पसलको पनि कथा यस्तै थियो । अझ कथा/गफ अघि बढ्दै थियो रु ३५००० हजारको । यो किस्ता दशै अघि दिने कुरा छ । यो किस्ता दशै अघि आए त दशै पनि राम्रै हुने आश गरिरकेका थिए । मन मनै भने भगवानले नपुर्याए नि नेपाल सरकारले तपाइहरुको मनको कुरा पुर्याउछन ।  यत्तिकैमा म अघि बढे । बाकी कुरा दशै तिहार तिरै गरौला ।
अरु उदाहरण आउँदै गर्लान ।

A tent in Everest camp 2
