 Hiking refers to the activity of going for long walks in the country for pleasure, knowledge

and exercises. Last year, I went hiking with my friends. It was full of pleasure and knowledge. It

provided us heavy physical as well as mental exercises. Since then, I have felt that hiking is

really beneficial for us.

Nepal is rich in natural beauties and gifts. We can have tremendous benefits if we go

hiking and observe these natural entities. Last year summer vacation was heavily advantageous

for us. As we wanted to go hiking, at firs, we decided the places where to go. We decided that

we were going to visit different places in Solukhumbu district, the famous region consisting of

snow-capped mountain peaks including Mt. Everest.

We made a complete plan for our hike. We formed the hiking group consisting of ten

members including a medical staff, an M.B.B.S. doctor. He was very eager to go with us. Then,

we visited the tourism board of Nepal to collect the information of the location. We decided to go

to Ziri in Dolakha by bus and from there trekking would begin. We made a complete map of the

route from Ziri to different places. Then, we bought some equipment and thing required in the

hike. Some of the things we bought and managed were extra clothing, firs-aid-kits with some

medicines, carbohydrate snakes, sunglasses, a map of the route, a compass, carbohydrate

snakes, sunglasses, a map of the route, a compass, flash lights, extra batteries, matches,

knives, brimmed hats, woolen socks, jackets, some utensils required to prepare food, alight

gas-stove, etc.

We hired a microbus to go to Ziri. Our journey from kathmandu began at 7 a.m early in

the morning. At 2 p.m, we reached at Ziri. We sheltered at a hotel that night. Next morning, we

enjouyed tea at the hotel and started to trek to our destination. As we left Ziri, we realized that

God had given us many things there. The trekking route was full of natural beauties and gifts

such as many water falls, rivers, various types of plants, birds and animals, and so on. We

walked very slowly enjoying whatever we saw on the way. We took many photographs of those

thins. We could see the beautiful snow-capped mountain peaks to the north.

After three-hour walk, we wanted to have something as we felt hungry. We chose a

grassland and set our tents. Then, we set a fire near the tents and started to preparer meal. Our

friends Sanjay felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. Our doctor checked him up and provided some

carbohydrate snacks and medicines. After an hour, he felt fine. We didn’t light our gas stove as

we saw adequate firewood there. Some of our friends started singing and dancing. Rajib played

the guitar well I heard while I was preparing meal. As our meal was ready, we had it. We felt the

meal was tastiest. After two hours, me moved ahead towares Salleri, the district headquarters of

Solukhumbu. We visited different places such as Salleri, Phaplu, Junbesi, Gokyo, Dudhapokhari

and Chaurikharka (Lukla).

We felt that our hiking to solukhumbu region was really fruitful. We have widened and

depended our knowledge and experiences. I had never thought before that Solukhumbu was so

beautiful. Heartily speaking it is a piece of heaven. I have realized that a Nepali citizen has to

visit Solikhumbu once in order to illuminate his/her heart
