An Unplanned ride to Aama Yangri 2020 Oct 30 – Nov 1

It has been a long time that we didn't travel due to pandemic Corona virus-COVID-19.This virus has cut off our planned trek due to this we were unable to travel to the place we were preferring to trek Tso-Rolpa in April and secondly trek to Sikles in Dashain (September-October).Ride to Chitwan was our last ride from then we had not having travel. But to reduce monotonously and boredom, we were hiking in our local hills of Bhaktapur. After the lockdown was quite partially cut off gradually movement of people begins and taking advantage of this situation, we make a plan to visit Kutumsang for a night out and even to farewell the last day of Dashain, and this how we begin our ride.

Day 1: 2020 Oct 30 Bhaktapur-Chisapani-Kutumsang

As per our time and junction, we had to meet at Tachapal sharp 6 AM and to reach on time I depart at 5.40 am I was sure that known of my pals will be there. I begin to miscall to my pals while I was going to miscall RabiM he reached a junction within 6 am. He was only who reached there within the time then we being to wait for rests of the pals. As time was passing everyone gets gather but meanwhile, friends scatter for fueling the bike after gathering. I was so excited to reach Kutumsang because it's been 9 years that I have visited over there. In 2011 I was at Kutumsang while trekking to Gosainkunda. I was so happy to ride a bike in the north direction because previously we ride to Chitwan and Makwanpur south direction and Sailung in the east direction. This was our fourth ride and we were so excited to have a bike ride. In a joking manner, RabiM request to share his bike seat, and hearing up that huge laugh was laugh out. Everyone was mimicking my act of last ride accident while traveling to Sailung. I request him not to offer his bike ride and then we get ready for our ride.

@Tachapal

At 730 am we begin our journey I shared a bike seat with Kabin but Sajan was willing to make me his bike mates but before he requests, I joined up with Kabin. He was so happy to be part of this ride because this was his first bike ride with us previously, he couldn't be a part of a bike ride due to his busy schedule. We were moving ahead and the rest of us pals were following us. We were moving to Chisapani through Changu and Sankhu route. It was my first experience to travel Changu to Sankhu by bike before that I used to walk over there while returning from Sankhu mela. Kabin was so surprised to hear that and even he was having fun listening to my new and past travel experience. After 20 minutes of a bike ride, we reach Sankhu and Kabin was leading the way guiding by me. But he took the left way before I informed him to take straightway. He was unknown about the way and even the rest of the pals were following us. We were riding through the core area of Sankhu to reach Jaharsinghpauwa. I was describing Kabin about Sakhu (ancient trade route to Tibet) and its gates due to deep sharing I forget him to show up a way for Jaharsinghpauwa. We were riding through Bajrayogini and at a point, I did not found a way for Jaharsinghpauwa, so we had to return and while returning  I showed up shortcut way for Kabin to reach the main road but we were traveling last due to this we had to follow front rider. So we get back to the core area to reach the main road but we had to stick and get back to the same place again due to under construction of the road. Sajan found a way to reach the main road passing through allies but not again we had to return due to the chance of getting interevent from the army because we didn't have PCR to travel. We get this information while we were at a bike workshop for servicing of a bike.

Local people urged us to travel via the Bajrayogini route, previously we were on right track but due to the plan to ride via Jaharsinghpauwa so we were willing to ride via Jaharsinghpauwa way. Through this route, we can reach Chisapani even Melamchi too. I was sharing my last year's experiences to Kabin while traveling to Aama Yangri by bus through this main road. We returned to the Bajrayoingi route from the way where we were supposed to pass while we were returning from Bajrayoingi. I was thanking Bajrayoingi to show up our way. As we were on right track our speed gradually increases. I was informing Kabin that we were riding in the route through which we can even reach Manichud danda (a holy place for both Hindu and Buddhist followers). Speed was rising until we were at one point where we found dobato (cross-path) luckily local rider show up us right track and even inform us to move straightway taking only upright way via Ghumarchowk and should cross Jhule to reach Chisapani. We were enjoying the ride riding in the forest motor trail. I was informing Kabin about the way which lies in Shivapuri-Nagarjuna national park along with other information about the national park.

@Manichud Danda

At 845 am We reached the top point of Manichud danda and we took our first picture. Sajan brought his DSLR camera so he was so excited to take a photo of us. From there one can view the Kathmandu valley but due to smog, we weren't having a clear view. Spending for a few, minutes we resume our ride, and like before the way was dusty but plain due to which we were having a nice ride. We usually wait for everyone whenever the way shows dobato (cross-path) so that we may not mislead the way. At one point assuming Ghumarchowk we took right straight up recalling local rider tips to reach Chisapani. But we were not confirmed about the way RabiG uses his GPS but still, the way was not confirmed. Sajan inspects the tire mark of four wheels and thought we should take straight up so without any objection to his assumption we follow him. We were on the right track because we interact with rider whoever passes through that way. And after crossing for a few meters we reach the Jhule. Except for me, everyone was recalling their Chisapani hike from Nagarkot Kabin informed me that they were rescued from Jhule at midnight by the hotel of Chisapani.They were so excited to be at this place after two years then onward we were confirmed about the way so we speed up our bike. We crossing up hills down hills in motor trails forests'.I was eagerly waiting for the place from where we can reach Sundarijal (1350m) but no know was showing up at exact places. We were at Hile bhanjyang and accordant o signs board downhills move for Sundarijal and upward for Chisapani. We took the right way for Chisapani, the weather so clear that from there we had a clear view of mountain ranges we were enjoying the moments but I was still thinking where was the point from we joined Chisapani from Sundarijal hike trail route. Kabin even was confused about the way so we were not able to found the exact hike trail. The rest of us were busy snapping pictures so we move ahead and I was so surprised to view the dam which is under construction and everyone thought it was the same dam as the dam of Bojinee but we were unknown that it was the Bagmati river basin improvement project supported by ADB. We didn't stop because we didn't find it attractive as in photos so we move ahead where we found there was an army barrack and RabiM was there who was waiting for us. The army took our bike no. and license no. and it was only a few meters to reach Chisapani. At 10 am we reached Chisapani (2135 m) omg still, we see the hotels that have been damaged by the 2015 earthquake.

@Chisapani

Except for me, everyone treks to Gosainkunda after the earthquake so they were having still fresh memories but I was still searching for the hotel where I stayed during my trek to Gosainkunda (4380 m) in 2011. We took pictures of an inclined hotel cause by an earthquake. Then we moved ahead for Chipling still the way was dusty and plain due to which we were having a good ride moving uphills and downhills. I was being unable to recall the way because it has been already 9 years that I have a trek to Gosainkunda via Chisapani. I was asking Kabin about the way for Kutumsang and he even was confused about the way so we interact with local people for the right track. I was sure that the left way is for Melamchi but Kabin was not sure and after interacting with local we took the left way after confirming the way. Crossing the uphill's, we reached Thankune bhanjyang (1850 m) and decide to have rest for few minutes thinking we might be having our lunch but we decided to ahead for Chipling (2170m) and even we will be having lunch over there. We took the left way for Chipling the way was gravel due to which it was making it difficult to cross so I joined with Sajan for a better ride for all of us. As we begin our ride the Sajan aka bomb of excitement started his act which was full of offensive words I object him and he cleared that it was the dialogue of twake production. I was unknown about twake production and after being clear I enjoyed his offensive words and dialogue. He even asked to speak out that dialogue and words but I was not acting and speaking out what he was expecting for it. I used only two letters of offensive words which make him wild but I was enjoying the way he was showing up anger using offensive words of twake production. I found his riding pace was higher than Kabin, he was making scared showing up his bike stunt. I was praying to reach Chipling as soon as possible to have peace. Sajan was concern about me but even being concern he usually scared me because he just wants to hear offensive words to me in an angry manner but I was known about it from the time I have joined him. He was just fed up with me and told me to not too joined after Chipling and I shook my head with a laugh because I was having fun making him irritated. Traveling for hours we reached Chipling at 11 am then we order our lunch and we get replied that it might take 1 hour to get ready. We begin our photos session while lunch was getting ready.

@Chipling

I was trying to remind the Gosainkunda trek but I was not being able to remind. So, I was frequently asking about the way to Kabin and RabiG but they even forget about the way. Everyone was busying taking photos but Kevin informed us that he has lost his purse so we called the hotel of Chisapani but they reply that they had not found it. Kevin was worried about its document than money but luckily, he found his purse on the bike seat. He was happy to get his purse back and everyone begins to ragged him like before in our junction at Tachapal because he was in a dress that looks as if students were traveling for the first time in his life. His dress and bag remind our trip to Pokhara in 2009. He was using in Hindi ascent "yesto thodina huncha" and not again he got troll saying "yesto thodina huncha huh huh" by everyone which create huge laugh over there. While the photo session was going on RabiM changes his dress to snapped the pictures because his every dress was red so he called himself as lal bandar which makes so laugh that I begin to call him only lal bandar each time. At 12:46 PM we had our lunch, I found lentils was as similar to that we used to get in every trek. We were enjoying our lunch but as we complete our lunch, we begin to feel dizzy and didn't willing to move on. While we having rest after lunch, we got a call from the sunrise view hotel of Kutumsang that his neighbor is not allowing any visitors. We were shocked to hear but Aashib manages to convince the hotel owner and we get ready to move to Kutumsang, Before, moving the hotel owner of Chipling informed about one point where the road was narrow. It may make it difficult to pass on that road and hearing that we asked more about that way. At 1:30 pm we move to Kutumsang before moving the hotel owner still reminds us about the way. After riding only for 10 minutes we reached the point where the road was narrow and looks dangerous. Kabin thought to return but our Sajan aka bomb of excitement passes his bike with force without any inspection. Kabin just spoke "yo manche pane gadha ,bike ni gadha banayo" hearing this I was having a huge laugh which was last long till Sajan returned to the place where I was staying for guarding bags. Sajan trolled Kevin for not supporting him because he saw his legs were shivering while he was returning from a narrow way. Along with Sajan and the rest of the pals managed to pass all the bike without clearing this hurdle we may not continue our journey.

On the way to Kutumsang from Chipling

It took us 20 minutes to passed all the bike. I was the only one who didn't contribute to pass the bike because I was a nonrider and I don't have any idea about the bike. We were so thankful to Sajan for showing up his bomb of courage at the right places to continue our journey. After passing all, we took a rest 10 minutes while we were having rest Aashib was getting trolled from Sajan but I didn't know what was the reason. I was willing to know about hot matters but nobody cleared me about that. Except for me, everyone was having a good topic to laugh. Sajan even confessed that he lost 1130 without any benefits laugh broke out again and I was still unknown why all of us were laughing. I asked about the matters he replied that he clear bills without having any food or something else. I was not satisfied with his answer and keep asking about it instead of clearing my query he decided to move forward to get rid out of me. At 230 pm we resume our journey for Kutumsang. From there bumpy off-road begins which makes us difficult to ride due to which we were having pain and agony. It took us 30 minutes to reach Kutumsang and as we reach the hotel, we just lie down on the ground for full body rest.

@Kutumsang

I was at Kutumsang after 9 years I was so surprised to view the drastic changes. It used to be only a few hotels in 2011 but now I can view a lot of hotels. I was willing to know the trail for Gosainkunda. Rabi informed me it is only a few meters from Tharepati and he even wished to visit over there but known of us were ready for it because if we move for Tharepati (3597m) we may reach Gosainkunda the next day. We order the tea and begin chilling out the moments. I was rounding the hotel premises then suddenly I saw the hills which were familiar to me. I was sure that may be Aama Yangri hills so to get confirmed I moved to interact with the hotel owner. He was surprised to know how I recognize it and he informed me that the owner of Yangri Peak was his brother. I replied that last year I have visited over there then after being confirming I propose everyone one to visit Aama Yangri. I was willing to visit Ama Yangri with my pals which have been accomplished only after 3 years through this unplanned ride because during their visit I was unbaled to joined them due to my busy schedule. Everyone was so excited about it so on the spot we planned to ride for Aama Yangri. While we were enjoying the moments Sajan shows up his ride stunt from the bike of RabiM but mistakenly he falls from the bike but his landing was so superb that it looks as if a shooting stunt was going on. His facial expression making so fun due to which we had to adjourn with each other to control our laugh. Then we move to the place where we can view Aama Yangri along with mountain views. Except for Kevin and RabiM everyone has already visited over there.

As the sun was setting down the environment turned to more entertaining and hot issues. They were snapping pictures of the rising moon with funny poses and activities. We begin our offensive words conversation with a campfire. We called up Ashish dai and Binit who was willing to be part of this ride but they failed to be due to their busy schedule. Staying for only a few minutes I moved to the room for rest. Aashib came to check me whether I was fine or not. After knowing that I was fine he returned to the funky jolly group. Soon then we had our dinner but dinner makes me more exhausted than before. So, I moved to room for sleep instead of hanging out with pals where the rest of the pals enjoy their night out till midnight.

Sunset from Kutumsang 2470 m

                            This how we ended up on the first day of the journey.

Day 2: 2020 Oct 31 Kutumsang-Chaunaute-Tarkeghyang

It was our second of the ride as per plan we were moving to Tarkeghyang which was 20 km from Kutsumsang. I woke up hearing W T F, and M C M C from Kabin, I was laughing hearing his first morning words. I didn't object to him and move to view the sunrise I found Aashib was already there to view the sunrise but known of the rest pals haven't even woken up. We were having a good view of the mountain which reminds me trek of Panchpokhari (4100 m) and sunrise from viewpoint of Panchpokhakri. One can view base to top of Jugal ranges {Dorje Lakpa (6966 m), Madiya (6257m), Phurbi Chhyachu (6637m)} from the Panchpokhari viewpoint. Aashib and I were the only ones who have visited Panchpokhari. We were recalling our trek and viewing Aama Yangri hills we just changed our topic. Gradually rest of the pals were joining the morning moments to get ready but we have plenty of time so we were chilling the morning time. We had our very light breakfast and stayed in the place to recall last night's experience. I found everyone had a very nice night discussion along with a good conversation. I request Gagan to take our pictures for memories and I even trolled regarding his activities in the room. He was in blush that he just wants to change the topic but along with me rest of the pals ragged him. I was unknown about the issues and Sarju shared that his action was in aggression form. Closing his topic, we get ready to depart for Kutumsang before that along with Aashib we move to settle the bills.

Before leaving we took our pictures with the bike for memories. At 8 am we move for Tarkeghyang which was our today's destination for a night out. I joined with Kabin for a ride and I was feeling that everyone was fresh to ride. The way was so plain that we speed our bike to reach Chaunauti for lunch. Riding for only one hour we reach the natural spring where Rabi thought to swim but not again our bomb of excitement drive over the stream without waiting for other pals. He found the water so cold that he had to get out the water where RabiG was wearing his dress. This shows that RabiG prank Sajan and like before Sajan easily got pranked.

The rest of the pals were having good laugh viewing his facial expression of Sajan because he was feeling sorry for himself to drive before anyone of us drives in the stream. After spending for a few minutes, we move ahead where we can view that we have crossed half hills to reach Timbu. While we were riding Kabin bike brakes suddenly stopped working so we had to stopped for minutes. I was so shocked when Kabin told me that the bike brake has been failed but due to his controlling agility he controls to get fell. We were waiting for the rest of the pals who were behind us but they didn't arrive after waiting for 10 minutes so we decided to move ahead. We were escorting Gagan because he was getting a problem on the bike. We reached a cross path so to know the right track we interact with local people and he replied that way for Timbu has been crossed and he informed us to get to Chaunauti then drive for Timbu.

Oh no, this shows that we had to ride as equal to the same distance as we get down from Kutumasang. Due to brake fails Kabin urged me to join Sajan I was feeling worried about his bike ride styles because yesterday I was, almost fell from his bike while he was showing his bike agility. I joined him, and not again he begins his take production of offensive words and dialogues. He was requesting me to speak out offensive words but he was not getting as he expected. We were riding with a joke and his bike stunt which was making scared like before. I was just praying to reach Chaunaunti to get down from the bike. As we're reaching Chaunauti he just speeds up his bike which makes me felt that I fell from his bike. I request him to drive well but he was not responding to me which makes me scared like before recalling yesterday's incidents of his bike. It took us around 3 hours to reach Chaunauti from Kutumsang. As we decided we will have our lunch at Chaunauti and it was confirmed that it takes time to get ready for it. I was thinking of clearing the debt of the last ride to Chitwan to RabiG but he was not joining even I informed him so I called Sajan to roam around Chaunauti then move to Momo shop. We were thinking about momo while we were getting down from Kutumsang but we didn't found the taste which we were expecting for it. Sajan was not happy so we returned to the hotel where our lunch was getting ready. At 1150 am we begin our lunch which was quite tastier than Momo. I was sharing a seat with Aashib and Sajan, we used to have heavy lunch or dinner whenever we stayed together while having it. We were the only guys who used to have heavy lunch or dinner when we used to get chicken curry and chicken stock as a bonus. Like before we begin to felt dizzy but we had to ride a long ride so we moved ahead for Tarkeghyang. The way was plain due to which we were having a good ride. I was informing Kabin there might be police checking at a point before we reach Timbu. As expected, we were interevent at checking post but let us go without any interrogation. We thank him and move ahead for Timbu (for trekkers Timbu is the starting point to reach Tarkeghyang). I was recalling my last visit to Timbu from where I begin to hike for Tarkeghyang and even we can get a truck to reach Tarkeghyang if luck favour us. Last time I only get the lift only after crossing Kakani. It might take around 5-6 hours to reach Tarkeghyang from Timbu on walking. But this time we were traveling by bike, the way was gravel which makes it difficult to control the bike. We stopped at the river where we decided to bathe but we postponed it for tomorrow. Spending there for few minutes we continue our ride and it took us around one hour to reach Kakani (1988 m) before reaching Kakani at point Kabin got frustrated from the bad condition of the road. He screamed that I can't drive anymore and being calm I show him the red house of Kakani which was only one turning from the place where we stopped. He just cools down and begins to drive and he reaching Kakani he stopped his bike and just lied down on the ground.

@Kakani

We reached there at 2 pm and the last time I reached there at 4 pm by climbing hills from Timbu. I was recalling my last visit which was quite a luck favoring trip because we get a lift from Kakani after walking a few meters due to which we reached Tarkeghyang on time before dusk. We rested at Kakani for 20 minutes and while we were resting we shared our last visit to Aama Yangri. I was recalling my hike from Timbu which was so hectic and tired making one they even shared that they have also hiked from Timbu which was a full form of fun but they reach Tarkheghyang after struggling in the dense forest trail. We were viewing the Aama Yangri hills and thinking that we must move earlier the next morning to have a good view. We resume our ride at 2:20pm which was going to be easier than from Timbu.After crossing a few turning we meet Bale friend"s Sarju they were happy to meet them but we decide to move ahead. Kabin was feeling so tired riding for several hours and even way was making him difficult to ride well. I had to get down from time to time to cross the hurdles. I was convincing Kabin that plain way coming near so we should keep riding but it's been 20 minutes that we were riding in gravel and 20 minutes earlier before reaching Tarkehghyang plain way has arrived and whenever plain arrive automatically speed used to rise. At 3 pm we reached the hotel but we didn't get a good welcome from the hotel owner but we were sure that when she may know us, she may behave well.

@Yangri peak,Tarkeghyang

She was not happy because she was getting pressure from their neighbor that guests should not be staying over there because they might have thought we may have corona. She wasn't responding well to us until and unless Aashib arrived and when she knew that we were the old guest she just changes her anger mood to calm. She hadn't forgotten the moments when 27 hikers created memories over this hotel. Reaching up the hotel I found a few Newar people they asked about us and known they were from Thimi as they introduced to us. Aashib interacted with one of the riders and he was sure that one of them is the uncle of his friend Sahaj. After confirming they thought to prank Sahaj and they called him but he was not recognizing the voice of his uncle. Aashib reveals that the voice belongs to his uncle and we were having a huge laugh because he was shocked that we meet his uncle and friends. They were being hurried to move for Bhaktapur and after getting their departure few riders came to the hotel Yangri peak for the room. We were waiting for a room and while we were chilling a few riders approaches us and one of them was staring at me and I was unknown about him. He came near to me begin to laugh and still I was not recognizing him then he removed his mask and glass. I was surprised to meet Bijay sir (a colleague of office) after several months. We interact for a few minutes then we moved to our respective room and before moving to the room we had our noodles break. Before we move to the room little Wangdu arrived with the ukelele, he urged Aashib to play the ukelele as Aashib begin to play the ukulele junior Wangdu dance over the tune of music played by Aashib. Senior Wangdu even added a voice tune to remind him of the song in which he was dancing. Then after having interacted with Senior Wangdu we move to our room where I was feeling so happy to be in the room after the year where I stayed there on my last visit. Kabin and I were in the same where the rest of the pals were in the common room. We joined them and I found they were recalling their last visit memories and other kinds of stuff which was funny and memorable one for them. I move to the kitchen to make my coffee; I think the hotel owner recognizes me because she behaves has been changed than before and she even told me that are you the one who brought up this pic and for confirmation I showed up her picture. After recognizing she confirmed we were the right people for her hotel. I took my coffee and move to a room where everyone was enjoying the evening. Funky pals were sharing their private stories and memories of life where I was playing the music of my interest due to which I enjoyed moments oneself. I was being trolled from Sajan because I hadn't brought full pant for this journey, he gave me his pants but didn't tell that pant belongs to Gagan. We stayed there for around 1 hour where our dinner was getting ready. I was informing everyone to get up early so that we could reach at top of the Aama Yangri to get a good view of the mountains. At 7 pm we had our dinner and before we begin our lunch I spoke out "aalu ko bhat aalu ko aachar" RabiM object me and before I cleared them, I thought to stay quiet. I was recalling the funny troll video of the legendary actor of Nepal Haribansa where he spoke this dialogue while they were having their lunch at a particular region where only potatoes are grown and I used to feel jolly whenever I remind the dialogue and acting of Haribansa. I was staying quiet and after completion of dinner, I just adjourn from them and move for sleep without any further conversation.

Moving descending from Kutumsang (2470 m) to ascending Tarkeghyang (2600m) we ended our second day of this journey.

Day 3: Tarkeghyang-Aama Yangri-Melamchi-Bhaktapur

This is the third day and most important day of this journey as today we reaching our unexpected planned destination i.e. Aama Yangri (3770 m) and even going to return to our common home Bhaktapur (1400 m). I was sleepless for the whole night due to tight pants of Sajan which I have worn last night thinking that I should be wearing this for a hike to Aama Yangri.The pant was so tight that I had to adjust every time and it was 350 am time to get up to get ready for moving to Aama Yangri. I found Kabin was still sleeping I shook his head so that he ll get woke up. At 4 AM while I was just ready to move out Gagan came to my room and asked for the pant. I was feeling speechless because last evening it was given by Sajan in front of him but he didn't object that pants belong to him. I was feeling anger over Sajan and willing to speaking out about the offensive taught by him if he was in front of me. As he took pant, I returned to my original dress up, and to get free from being ragged I move downstairs for fetching water. At 415 am we resume our ride for Aama Yangri basecamp, we were riding to Aama Yangri basecamp for the first time by bike.

We were unknown about the way and as per the signboard we were moving ahead we have noticed that place which shows "way to Ghaphuyal "is the right track for Aama Yangri base camp if one wishes to travel by bike. We were recalling hotel owner tips that we should move uphill's and should not take left or right way that occurs on the way to Aama Yangri basecamp I was with Gagan bike and I found his control agility was even satisfying but due to my overweight he failed to control the bike in the third attempt. I got a minor bruise on my leg while we were fell off. I was feeling sorry for him and he was feeling difficult to ride in such bumpy off-road carrying the overweight man. His bike even was in problem Aashib and Sarju was checking his bike where Sajan came to rescue us. I had to join with Sajan which was making me worried to ride with him. Before joining him, I told him to not conduct the same action as before but the man who was known as the bomb of excitement who is always in over-excitement did not listen to my request and the ride was like before. I was feeling oh god why always me, Sajan was ragging and making me scared because he usually enjoys the moments whenever I got scared because he just wants to listen to offensive words but I wasn't speaking out even being ragged. I was viewing the rays of the sun I informed him to slow up the speed so that we can view the sunrise. He was willing to view from the basecamp of Aama Yangri so instead of slowing the pace, he speeds up the bike. I was just waiting for the plain road so that I can have safe mode while riding. It took us 2 hrs to reach the base camp of Aama Yangri, at 6 am we reached over there as like last visit time.

@Aama Yangri basecamp

We were at base camp but still, the sun was not rising so we decide to hike ahead except me everyone was in full thick clothes. I was in half pant due to which I had to face the cold but I was feeling inner hot which gain while riding with Sajan. I was sweating even in the cold temperature and I was sure while moving we ll had warm due to which we may felt hot and had to put off our clothes in the bag. We begin to hike at 615am I was at last where Kevin was leading us. I was recalling the last hike with Rajan and mithai. I was recalling for each area where we stayed for rest. This was the first visit of RabiM, Kevin, and my second visit along with RabibG, Sarju, Gagan, Sajan, and Kabin.Among us, Aashib was visiting for the third time at the top of Aama Yangri which was his hat trick visit.We were just 15 minutes ahead of Bijay sir while we were heading up, they had just reached basecamp. I was thinking about whether they were walking fast or I was walking slowly because I can hear the voice of Bijay and their friends. I was feeling so behind than the rest of the pals who were moving ahead due to which I had the speed to joined with them. RabiG and Sajan usually wait for me so that they can rag me to enjoy the moments. We were walking sharing each other last experience while hiking to Aama Yangri. Sajan was feeling breathless due to which he was walking slowly even maintaining the gap. We saw Kabin and Kevin in the next hills while we were still in the same hills. We were walking as per our agility due to which we were so late that half of the friends were ahead of us. I saw the signboard of Ganzala pass, this pass usually reminds Langtang trek and I have vowed that one I will be passing this pass whenever we got a chance to visit over here. Sajan was still not feeling good so I had to wait for him while I was waiting for him my sight stuck over the smog where I can view the compact settlement. I was viewing the hills and I recognize the Chandragiri hills and even pilot baba of Bhaktapur. Due to excitement I just scream Sajan hurriedly approach me I just showed him the hills and smog he did not confirm so asked to show the Phulchwoki tower (2782m) I even showed him and this makes him stay quiet. I was so surprised that I even had not viewed this on my last visit. He stayed quiet due to the view which was us beyond imagination. I moved quickly so that I can be confirmed if Aashib even has noticed it. At 730 am we reached the top point of Aama Yangri and I asked Aashib about it whether you have seen Kathmandu valley or not but he unknown about it.

@Aama Yangri viewpoint

I inform them that we can see the Kathmandu valley but no one was believing me. Sajan came up screaming that hurray we saw Kathmandu valley. I showed them the hills of Chandragiri (2551m), Pilot Baba (2000m), and even Phulchwoki (2782m) tower we were feeling so excited to view the Kathmandu valley. Everyone was feeling so happy that due to happiness we decide to visit Chandragiri after returning to check whether we could view Aama Yangri or not. While we were chilling in the sunshine we heard Kabin spoke out the word "paaraadise" instead of paradise this makes him get trolled by us and this word makes us so fun that we even begin to spoke out "paaraadise" instead of paradise. We begin our photo session except for Sajan we thought he was just having rest but after a few minutes, he started snoring which makes us fun to have a huge laugh. Due to our noise, he woke and begin his explosion of excitement bomb (boom boom - la khich khich salay ho my….). After completion of his action, I request Gagan and Aashib to snap my pic then onward I joined them to snapped with them. After 15 minutes Bijay sir came to us and I even joined them to interact. One of his friends asked where is the Machapuchere I felt so awkward to answer him and informed him that we can't view from here. He even asked that is Dorje Lakpha is the Nilgiri Himal. I was shocked to hear because Nilgiri is the mountains, lies the province 4 western region mountain and we were in province 3 central region and I begin to clear him and before he misnames another mountain name. I informed them about the mountain name which can be seen form Aaama Yangri viewpoint which is from left to right i.e Jugal ranges {Gangchenpo (6387 m), Gurkarpo Ri (6889 m), Dorje Lakpha (6966 m), Gyaltzen peak (6705m ), Madiya (6257 m), Jugal (5800 m) and Phurbi Chhyachu (6637m) }, Rolwaling ranges {GauriShankar ( 7134 m ), Melungtse (7181 m ) and Numburchuli (6959 m)}. We were enjoying our moments and while sharing our trek experiences we viewed the trails in the dried hills which was making us fascinate to be over there. Among us, Kevin, Gagan, and RabiM have not visit Gosaikunda and among them, RabiM was willing to know more about those hills because he was so surprised to view the trails over there. I informed him crossing those hills we can reach Langtang and to reach Gosaikunda one has to descend to Lama hotel then should move up the hills. But as per my assumption the trails might be newly constructed because in my last visit, I haven't seen such trails and I was sure that if we cross that hills, we may be crossing Ganazala pass (5122 m). We were so eager to know about that trails and we will be clearing more about this only after meeting the hotel owner because he has trek for Ganzala several times and he was local people along with the hotelier. We were still enjoying our moment and nearly we were there for around one hour and fifty minutes during this period we snapped a lot of pictures, video and the evergreen one is "Hariyali" dance. As like in other treks we usually snapped being half-naked full of happiness but this time I didn't found such excitement which diminishes my happiness.

Before leaving we took our group picture snapped by Kabin keeping timer and by Bijay sir too. At 950 am we descend to basecamp and in my last visit 950 am was the time when I reached the top point but, in this visit, we were descending at this exact time. The weather was getting clear and the mountains were getting clearer than before due to which we were not willing to descend but we had to return home too so we descend waving a hand at mountains and Aama Yangri. Aashib, Sarju, Gagan, RabiG, and along me we taking the last snap and video in front of AamaYangri stupa. I received a boom box from Gagan so when we begin our descend, I played my favorite songs which adds extra happiness which I didn't get till in this journey. I was walking along enjoying the music which I was eagerly waiting to listen to it up. I was walking without interacting with any of the pals due to which I was descending speed was getting higher.

Descending for one hour we reached base camp at 11 am the sunshine was so good that we fell asleep for minutes but we were well-known that we had to return home so hurriedly we move to reach the hotel for getting our bags. It took us one hour to reach the hotel alike before I was with Sajan and our interaction was less than earlier days. At exactly noon we reach the hotel we had our last noodles break and Aashib move to settle down the bills. During our break hotel owner Wongdu (9848944003) describe the new trail which we have seen from Aama Yangri. We were listening to me which was making us more interesting than we expected. He informed that the provincial government is working hard and investing hugely to develop a new trek trail in the Helambu region naming the Helambu circuit. We even asked about the trail and he replied that the trail reaches the Lama hotel of Langtang and crossing hills we reached Kyanging Gompa of Langtang via Ganzala pass. Kabin and I was so fascinated with Ganzala pass that we were vowing to trek over there once in our lifetime whenever time and luck will favor us. As per the hotel owner if this project complete as per time it will be going to be the next most visiting tourist destination of Nepal where trekkers will be trekking crossing pass and hills as like other passes of the country. He was praying with Aama Yangri for the completion of this project as soon as possible. He was planning to the extent his hotel in the base camp and the Dukpu (lies in newly constructing trail) because he was seeing his future in these newly trek trails. We were even praying for the completion of his wishes because this may change the Helambu region people lifestyles after completion of this project. After all, tourism can present beauty and its importance to a particular region in the world after its exploration. Tourism usually brought a positive impact until and unless it reached to saturation period and this might be the reason that the provincial government is working for it. While we were getting ready to depart for Bhaktapur, Bijay sir came up to me for the last meeting and after 30 minutes of his departure, we begin our ride at exactly 1 pm making Melamchi our last rest point. I was enjoying the wind blowing over there which remind me of my last visit pressure to get descend to Timbu. In my last visit, we continuously walked for more than 12 hours which creates misunderstanding between us due to tiredness and anxiety but in this visit, we had plenty of time so we were having good coordination with full enjoyment. We took pictures with the owner of the Yangri peak before we depart for Melamchi(850m).

  On the last visit, it took us two hours to Kakani from Tarkeghyang by walking and it took 50 minutes to reach over there by bike. The road condition was so irritating that every rider was having trouble to ride and this time even Kabin losses his control. Riding for 30 minutes we reach the river were we willing to have a bath and before we reach over there Kevin, Aashib, Sajan RabiM, RabiG were already enjoying the moments of having a cold-water bath. I was enjoying their action and phots poses which makeover laugh that I have to request Kabin to move ahead but he was busying to clean his bike.

Sajan requests me to take a snap from his DSLR but I was unaware of the camera I was unknown even turning it on and I asked RabiM aka Lal Bandar turned it on, he trolled me with fun that "Kera ta kerai rahecha ni" hahaha laugh blowout. I begin to snap and I even don't know how to zoom it I asked Sarju to help me he even trolled me "hyaaa kiraj k ho zoom pane tha chaina ki k". I shook my head where the rest of the guys blow out their laugh. Snapping was going on where I saw Aashib was in a meditating pose along with him Sajan and RabiG joined him. They were enjoying the moment for more than 10 minutes and then waiting moments has arrived. Kevin was changing his dress where the rest of the guys were shooting him, he was being unable to change his dress but we did not get the expected action and stopped ragged him. Now it's time to shoot RabiG hahaha we were having a huge laugh before he begins his action. We were having a continuous laugh that he even forgets that we were shooting him but, in the meanwhile, he was saying "na khich hai na khich m…. ho "being full of shyness. I heard Kabin's legendary word "hyaaaa mula" These words just remind me of last night's objection from RabiM which diminishes my excitement then I just and over the camera to Sarju and joined Kabin to move ahead along with Gagan. While move ahead we were eagerly waiting for the best part of this road which was pitched and one of the happiest parts for the rider. Kabin speeds up his speed in the pitched road, we even forget that we have crossed Timbu. Then onwards we didn't stop until and unless we reached Melamchi.RabiM was riding along with us and he was with because he is unaware of the way for Melamchi. I informed him to followed the river then the busy crowd area will be the Melamchi. At 4 pm we reached Melamchi where I was unable to find out the hotel which lies in the bus park where we were going to have our tiffin. We move ahead to the nearby by the hotel and order our tiffin lunch. We were enjoying the Wi-Fi connections after two days and I found everyone was busing on mobile so I move to the bus park with Aashib and we found the river bank has been well managed than in our last visit Panchpokhari. I was still unable to find out the bus park we were moving to the bridge and as we saw suspension we knew the bus park. We were walking, recalling our trek Panchpokhari then we decide to return to the hotel where our pals were waiting for us to have tiffin lunch. At 450 pm we had our lunch which was so relief for us that we just attacked over our lunch. Like last the night this time Sajan object me because I added extra rice before others just have its first bite, oh condition getting hot and I was sure that if answer him we might get misunderstanding  I stayed quiet and after having it I just adjourn from them. I was staying quite waiting for RabiG so that I can clear his debt. After clearing his debt we get ready to move for Bhaktapur and as per our plan, we resume our ride at 530 pm via way to Zero km which 25 km far from Melamchi. I was with Kabin and I was not interacting like more we continuous ride for 50 minutes to zero kilometers. Then onwards our speed rises as we were in Araniko highway way we were rising so first so that we can get rid out of tipper when they ill beings there driving which nearing going to resume. It took us one hour 30 minutes to reach Dhulikhel (1550m) where we rest in the teas shop. Oh my god, I was getting nerve pain in my back due to which neither I was feeling to sit or stand, and while we were hanging our tea I saw Vijay passed through us. We were calculating or time to reach home and meanwhile we got the phone from Gagan that his bike stuck. Hurriedly Kevin and Sarju move to rescue him which took 10 minutes to rescue him and instead of getting stopped Sarju urged Gagan to move ahead because it might be stopped Gagan if the bike stopped itself. Kabin was worrying about Gagan so he was riding behind him. It took us 30 minutes to reach Jagati and after getting adjourn with Kabin I joined Sajan so that Kabin can depart to his home. Sajan was being excited to rag me because we were at end of the ride and he was riding at such a speed that in only a few seconds we reach my house and I was feeling scared like before because we were on the pitched road nor in the gravel.

In the summary, we planned to have only a night out at Kutumsang but due to the recognization of the hills of Aama Yangri and even we didn't wish to get back from the same way we reach Kutumsang because of poor road conditions, we have an unplanned ride to Aama Yangri. In this ride, we came to know that the provincial government is working out for developing a new trail that will develop as the Helambu circuit and we hope for its completion within the time frame for the betterment of Helambu local people residing over there. Personally, I am so glad to visit Aama Yangri with my pals which were my desire since their first visit in 2017 where 27 people have joined that traveling and created great memories at hotel Yangri Peak and now onwards no more remorse regarding this destination.

Lastly, I like to thank every member of this ride for their cooperation and like to apologize too for my seen/unseen mistake if any.
