MY DREAM JOURNEY
Years of planning and dreaming. Again and again trying to manage a perfect situation to get there . The sleepless nights of overthinking to reach out our destination took a lots of patients to wait for this day to come .Many disagreement and unconditional situation came but now I was finally able to go (Makalu barun national park) which includes 'barun valley ' ' shiva dhara ' 'makalu base camp' and many more beautiful places on the way. It lies in eastern part of Nepal in shankhuwashaba district well known place (khadbari) .
I realized that the journey I decided to go for years was a right decision.
It was a life time experience and a lesson that I learn on this journey.
The scenario of Makalu and other mountains was a breathtaking scenery which freezes my mind and the holy spiritual visit of Shiva dhara gives me peace in mind and also thrilling adventure.The hospitality and the people from there melts my heart.
The journey of 4 brothers didn't became only of four but met new mates who were willing to support and travel the journey together.They were from all parts of Nepal but felt like I have known them from ages and the bond was with them was pure and clear.The chit chat talk with them and fun that I had is in my memory forever. We laughed,had fun ,share stories, pain and the food was the sweetest. We couldn't complete the journey together but our bond was amazing while we were together.
The hospitality of tea house on the way was also warm welcoming.The talk with sherpa brother from the tea house taught about the importance of mountain and the lifestyle they followed. The talk with aama and aapa from the langmale(base camp) told us about the Kimadanta of Shiva Dhara and Aama bhungung was an interesting story. I was like a child loaded with curiosity. It gave me goosebumps and more excited to visit the destination.There were the powerful and holy places for the religious travellers.

The food we got after walking straight for 5- 6 hours gave me the happiest feeling. The sharing of hot potatoes with brothers tasted even better. The hot tea we received after walking in cold weather gave even warmer to body and mind.
The sleep after a hours of walk was the sweetest sleep .The pulling of blankets and pushing for comfortable sleep with friends was also funny.

The journey was surely tough and hard but also was the best and lesson learned. I could feel the cold breeze entering in my chest through mouth and nose. I could even feel how much my leg was trembling while walking the countless stairs .I gave up the trek thousands of time in my mind but the hope for better things hold me. There was surely pain in legs but the view that my eyes saw made me forget the pain and tiredness. No matter how hard the journey you are taking it be patient and try because Infront you will find the worthy victory.
It was really hard to leave that heavenly place.
Again and again I turned back to see the view and tried to enjoy more before leaving that place promising to visit again in future .
After returning back home to same old lifestyle
I couldn't stop remembering the days that I spent up there. The jokes with friends and brothers ,the up and down stairs ,the food ,hot tea, the views and the mountains and hills , smells of plants and flower in the jungle, calm and silent ponds, sound of river and water falls that continues flows, the( parties) we took rest to get some breath. The circle around the fire to get warm . Everything was like a dream that I spent in this journey of 2 weeks .It was really a dream that come true for me. The connection with hustle and bustle world was lost. Though I am back to the same life cycle I will always think of that place forever which makes me feel who am I , what I want , what I need to do.

I was lost in the city and between the crowds of people but find myself in that unknown place .I was away from every things but the only things I had was myself which was enough to made me feel alive . I was happy a really happy person with a smile in his face and satisfaction in his heart. My body felt tired but my tired soul felt calmly relaxed .
"If you are lost in the way of your life ,get lost to find yourself".
