#mymymemories Hiking to Jhinu Danda in Ghandruk, Nepal was a real adventure! Picture this: I'm on the trail, surrounded by the lush greenery of the Annapurna region, with the soothing sound of the Modi Khola river in the background. The trek was a bit of a challenge, with some steep sections, but the breathtaking views at every turn made it all worthwhile. One of the coolest parts of the trek was meeting friendly locals and fellow trekkers along the way. There's something about the shared experience of hiking that creates an instant bond. When I finally arrived at Jhinu Danda, I was in for a treat. The natural hot springs there are famous for a reason. After all that hiking, relaxing in those hot springs with the Himalayas in the backdrop was pure bliss. I felt like I was in paradise. The village itself had a unique charm, with its traditional houses and the warm hospitality of the locals. It was a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture. Looking back on my hike to Jhinu Danda, I can't help but smile. It was an adventure filled with natural beauty, a bit of physical challenge, and a whole lot of cultural enrichment. It's one of those experiences that I'll cherish forever.

#Rainy season tourist attractions Fiaa Lake or Phewa Lake is located in Pokhara, Nepal. It is a city located about 200 kilometers north of the capital city of Kathmandu. What is so good about this lake? Why must everyone who comes to Pokhara come here? Let's go see. Atmosphere This lake has a very good atmosphere. It is very natural. In addition, this lake is very large. You can walk along the lake to see the atmosphere or ride a bike to see the view. There are many photo spots along the road along the lake. Getting there The lake is located on Lake Side Road. Walk in for about 500 meters and you will arrive. For those who want to come here, I recommend staying at Lake Side Road. It is very convenient. Cost for taking a boat to see the view on the lake If you want to take a boat to see the view of the lake, it costs about 800 NPR or about 200 baht per hour. For those who have the opportunity to come here, I recommend taking a boat to see the atmosphere. The boat here is a rowboat, but you will not be able to row by yourself anymore. Because there have been many accidents, there will be someone to row for everyone's safety. In addition, there are two boat landing points: the front point and the second point is about 300 meters further. Or if you come with a group and want to board the boat together, you can sit in another type that is a pedal boat in the middle. Special advice We recommend going in the morning because in the morning, the sun will be very hot. And the best time to go to this lake is around October. It will be a time when the weather is not too hot or cold. The sky is clear and you can see the mountain view, which will make the lake even more beautiful.

Sikles is a charming Gurung village with a rich cultural heritage. The village is surrounded by lush green hills, terraced fields, and traditional houses.

The ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trekking route goes from Jhinu to ABC and back. However, due to road construction, you need to walk an extra 1.4 km or so on the mountain road before reaching Jhinu, and the same applies to the return trip. 🏠 Major accommodation points along the way: Jhinu-Chhomrong-Sinuwa-Bamboo-Dovan-Himalaya-Deurali-MBC-ABC You can call to book beds and meals, or book when you arrive. If there are no beds available during the peak season, you may have to sleep in the restaurant. See picture 18 for all guesthouse contact information. 🚶‍♀️ My itinerary: Day 1️⃣ Jhinu-Chhomrong-Upper Sinuwa, stay at Sinuwa Lodge & Restaurant (Four Peaks Viewing Platform) Day 2️⃣ Upper Sinuwa-Bamboo-Dovan-Himalaya-Deurali, stay at Deurali Guest House & Restaurant (delicious sandwiches) Day 3️⃣ Deurali-MBC-ABC, stay at Hotel Paradise Garden & Restaurant (close to the sunrise golden mountain viewing point) Day 4️⃣ ABC-MBC-Deurali-Himalaya-Dovan-Bamboo, stay at Eco Friendly Lodge & Restaurant (the quilt smells bad, power is limited, not recommended) Day 5️⃣ Bamboo-Sinuwa-Chhomrong-Jhinu It doesn't feel tiring to walk, but eating and showering are more uncomfortable. In addition to the 360º panoramic snow-capped mountains of ABC, I personally think that the section of road from Upper Sinuwa to Dovan is the most beautiful. The shade of the trees is lush and cool, and the alpine azaleas reflect the Fish Tail Peak, making it very comfortable to walk. 🍱 Dining: All guesthouse menus are almost the same. I personally think the following are more delicious: Chicken chili and special breakfast set at Sinuwa Lodge & Restaurant Pizza at Himalaya Guest House & Restaurant Egg veg sandwich with cheese at Deurali Guest House & Restaurant Grilled chicken at New Chhomrong Guest House & Restaurant I don’t like the others very much. If it doesn’t work, you can order Shin Ramyun, which is available in every restaurant. Drinks: Lemonade at Green View Lodge & Resaurant in Jhinu and organic black tea at New Chhomrong Guest House & Restaurant, and iced coffee at Cafe Himalaya. In addition, it is recommended to bring some jerky. There is no meat to eat from Banboo upwards. Only fried noodles, fried rice, and sandwiches will have some tuna. It is really uncomfortable not to be able to eat meat when climbing a mountain. Bottled water is not sold on the mountain. You have to pay for hot and cold water. In addition to a thermos, it is recommended to bring a large mineral water bottle. Charging/showering/Wi-Fi all cost money (about NPR 300). 👕 Clothing: In late April, quick-drying clothes and thin pants are sufficient for climbing. It is colder in the morning and evening, so it is recommended to bring a windbreaker/fleece jacket/quick-drying clothes/thin down jacket/windbreaker pants/fleece pants/thin gloves/sun hat/woolen hat/sunglasses. You need a sleeping bag in Deurali and ABC, but not in other places. It is best to bring hand warmers, which can be used for sleeping and watching the sunrise.

DAY5 - Trek to siding and drive to pokhara Wake up early with a bright atmosphere, have breakfast, pack up and prepare to travel from Low camp to siding. It's a leisurely walk of about 5KM, walking slowly down. Personally, I like the downward path because it's faster. In the meantime, I took some photos and videos to remember the moment. It was a day when I felt like explaining and getting to know the porters and guides. Then we had to go our separate ways, walk down, and then take a car to Pokhara for about 1 hour. When we arrived at the accommodation, it was time to really rest. I slept in a cool air-conditioned room. It was a great experience. Thank you very much to everyone who read this far. Thank you to all my fellow travelers. Everyone was so lovely. Who would have thought that 10/8 of our 8 friends graduated from CMU? And the seniors and my generation were very different. But we met on this trip. See you at EBC, everyone. Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ViqDypSAUKN6L8c66?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #nepaltrekking #mardihimaltrek

After going down from High Camp, I packed my clothes and went down to sleep at Low Camp. I didn't care about the view on the way down because the sky was overcast. I hurried down to rest. When I went down, I measured my O2 and it was only 70. I kept resting until it went up to 90. I got a good rest. While we were resting, another team hurried down from High Camp because someone was short of breath and probably had AMS. At that time, I was shocked. So I went to help practice breathing. I gradually monitored the symptoms according to the first aid. I gradually practiced breathing. From O2 70 to 92, my symptoms gradually improved. After that, it was time for me to rest. I ate, played games, and went to bed. I slept well tonight. Good night. #GetDiscountNotRelyingOnLuck #mardihimaltrek #nepaltrekking

DAY - 1 Trekking to Deurali 2100 m. Stay at Pokhara before walking for 1 day, then take a car to Kande for about 30 minutes. Start walking and gradually adjust. The first day will not be too difficult. Our group stopped for lunch at Australian Camp. After lunch, we continued walking. At Deurali, we stayed at Hotel Super Top View. In summary, today's walk was about 6 KM. It was not too tiring because it was not that high. Everyone went their separate ways to rest and do an activity to break the ice, which was playing UNO. The cheerful sounds made us feel that everyone was resting and we had the same goal, which was to conquer Mardi Himal base camp (Machhapuchare). #trekking #nepaltrekking #mardihimaltrek Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ViqDypSAUKN6L8c66?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Trekking in the Himalayas was a deeply emotional journey. Surrounded by towering peaks and endless silence, I faced not just the mountains but myself. Every sunrise filled me with wonder, every step tested my spirit. The kindness of the people and the raw beauty of nature healed parts of me I didn’t know were broken. It was not just a trek — it was a return to something pure and timeless.

The gentle trail meandered softly upwards, a welcome ease after more challenging paths, made even more enjoyable by our wonderful porter and guide🥰🥰. Their support and knowledge enhanced every step, allowing us to fully appreciate the truly beautiful mountain panorama that unfolded with each gradual incline. The crisp air and peaceful quiet amplified the stunning scene, making it a truly enjoyable and accessible way to soak in the grandeur of the peaks, all thanks to their expert assistance.

| Slow life in Pokhara. Pokhara/. We stayed here for two days. If Kathmandu is the most "prosperous" and "convenient" capital in the eyes of local Nepalis, then Pokhara is a resting place for hikers from other places like us. The whole city extends with Phewa Lake as the center. There are many resorts for meditation and recuperation on the mountain, and the lakeside at the foot of the mountain has developed into a tourist area. Hotels, youth hostels, restaurants, and coffee shops have become a gathering place for hikers and tourists. I didn't sleep well in Pokhara for the two nights I stayed there. I woke up at four or five o'clock every day; fortunately, the coffee shop downstairs opened at six o'clock, so I took a book to read, drink tea, coffee, and have breakfast. Then I can stroll by the lake, and if the weather is good, I can see the sunrise. You can go paragliding, or experience singing bowl meditation courses. The small shops on the street are also very good to visit. There are many bookstores where you can buy second-hand books in English. A few of my favorite restaurants: - Camellia Cafe＊The interior design and style are a plus - Fresh Element＊A three-story restaurant with many dishes. In addition to delicious Western food, the Chinese stir-fry is also very good. - Vegan Way＊A vegetarian cafe by the lake, you can also eat simple meals. - Juicery Cafe＊There is a band in the store every night after 7:30, and you can order wine; it is an ordinary Western restaurant during the day. - Ayurvedico Cafe＊Ayurvedic cafe, in addition to food, there are many functional healing teas to order. The ingredients seem strange but the taste is good. - Coffee Looms Company＊A coffee shop opened by a Korean couple. I ordered matcha latte and banana cake in the store that afternoon; the banana cake was amazing. - Peace Hotel＊A Chinese restaurant I went to with a Chinese friend I met during the hike. Although the serving speed is slow, the taste is quite authentic. - Junkiri＊The Chinese name should be called Firefly. I bought a very comfortable linen trousers and a woolen shawl. - Women's Skill Development Center Hand-woven products, bags, blankets, shawls, clothing; from a local non-profit community that supports economically disadvantaged women, free training for unemployed women in hand-weaving, natural dyeing, and hand-making; open employment opportunities in the factory, vigorously promote women's rights and child protection.
