5th June, 2012

Traveling is my hobby never the less I always mention about. Enjoying it is half achievement of one's life. Seeing is belief moreover internalization: it can happen only by traveling. But some traveling are difficult, when we conquered those difficult ones, they will remain as a sweet memory in our mind.

We moved towards Kalikot from Surkhet at 8 AM. We halted in Guranse, the cold place in Dailekh and took coffee there. We moved down to Tallo Dungeshor where Lohore Khola merged into Karnali River. Here in Tallo Dungeshor, We met frenz from Unicef and GIZ there. We took lunch with fish curry. It was delicious and yummy.  Against the upstream of Karnali River, we always move along the side of this river.  Leaving the Madhyapahadi highway in the Saigaon our wheels rolled over the road built by cutting the cliff.Madhyapahadi highway passes through the Dailekh and catches Achham crossing the Karnali River at Belkhet. 

From Khidkijyula, the road is not smooth; it's really difficult to move the wheels. At Daikhola the border between Dailekh and Kalikot, our motor stopped moving. After half an hour effort my driver was able to fix the problem. At around 7 PM we reached Kalikot Manma.

Sinja valley
Early in the morning at 6 AM, we moved ahead from Kalikot. On the way, we halted there in  an eatery in Molpha and crunched the boiled potatoes. Against the upstream of Tila River, we reached Nagma where Hema River meets Tila River. This is the border between Kalikot and Jumla. We killed our hunger there with fish curry. We entered Jumla and moved along the side of Hema River. After crossing Narakot, the road was full of ditch.

With the help of villagers, we drained the ditch and were able to cross the road. During this period, we were able to have yoghurt that's natural and flavored in one old lady's home.

  At 7 PM, we found Gothijyula in Sinja valley. The valley is famous for Birat palace, Pandu gufa and agriculture as well. We enjoyed watching people sowing paddy in their irrigated field and dancing in local music.

 We got a haven made up of wood plank. we were provided with one pair of blankets. we were sandwiched in between but cold could not catch us. we had liquid blankets as well so we did not know about cold catching. While we were taking dinner, someone brought the yarsagumba: these were small ones though. I never saw the yarsagumba beforehand, this was first time thourhg my eyes...!!!

I was studying in government high school in grade eight. It just came out in my mind that I should join boarding school. I just shared my desire with my mom.  'Daamlo badhna mann lagyo?!' She said, 'you are doing well in government school, so….'  'Well mom, I wanna do more.' I replied immediately. She then readily accepted. Dad also encouraged me to do more. School's principal was asked about my entry in that boarding school. I was ready for entrance test and was waiting in admin office. When principal knew that I was the first boy in government school, he just accepted me in same grade though I was prepared for grade seven. I even needed not appear in the entrance test. Everybody was looking at me. Some talked to me some were yet to talk. Since I was new, every teacher asked my introduction. All the regular students were in their own flock and I was with my high school friend who also admitted just one month before I did. People did not accept me easily a...

What comes in your mind when you find yourself where there is no telecommunication, no electricity and no internet-you will completely paralysed; something you will feel breathlessness. Well guys, it was same for me when I was posted in Sallibazar, a town on the bank of Veri river in Salyan district on its western border with Surkhet. When I started my journey from Kohalpur to this place, I was playing with the aggression of Veri river's flood. The road sometimes touches it and sometimes goes far away from it. There is no way when vehicles get accident, it will be swallowed by Veri river. I have blurring recall of Babai, Harre, Chhinchu,Mehelkuna, Botechaur, Pokhre, Reikar, Baluwa sangrahi, Amra and finally Sallibazar. When I got gradually accustomed to this place, it was heavenly touchy completely different from internet world. I found it as a real world and beautiful than the prototype virtual lifestyle in urban areas. I got up at 7 AM and do some light exercise and take break...

When I was assigned for Bajura District for Measles-Rubella (MR) campaign I was excited to visit this district because it was my great opportunity to visit Bajura officially otherwise I may not be able to visit this place personally. After completing some administrative procedures I set out for Bajura District. Driving down to Kohalpur, moving through Bardiya and crossing the Karnali Bridge, we stopped by in Chisapani where we took lunch with fish curry in an eatery. Thereafter we moved towards Dhangadi where we entered the field office of WHO-IPD and talked about technical activity about MR campaign in Far western development region. FWDR consists of 9 districts and one of them is Bajura, a rural district in FWDR where vehicle is yet to reach there.
