Reminiscing Trips of Markhu-Chitlang


We love travelling together having been to many places. Our nation is blessed abundance with nature and it only takes a few hours to escape the town and step into scenic location. We had a leisure time final semester results waiting of bachelor degree. We all need refreshment in today’s busy and stressful life and hangout from city life. Considering overnight chatting, old bus parks meeting at 8 o’clock and planed of Bandipur such this thing, we was going to Bandipur this day but we left a bus at  Kalanki because we are gone hungry that’s why we went to tea house. We took a breakfast at the same time I saw Kulekhani bus in an opposite. After that my team an organized overnight trips to incredibly lovely, naturally enriched places: Markhu, Kulekhani. My team has been  trips Mr. Azeet, Mr. Miki and I.
We started our journey from Kalanki and directly headed towards Markhu, Kulekhani. Markhu is a small village at the top of Kulekhani reservoir and is a beautiful and peaceful place to be. A suspension bridge right above the kulekhani reservoir adds beauty and attractions to the people. You can walk through the bridge, take photos and have fun. We reached Markhu around 4:00 pm and from there on we decided to hike towards Bheda farm. It took us 15 minutes to walk uphill than touch Bheda farm. Bheda farm is Nepal’s first sheep/goat breeding farm, but it is the scenic location is captured in numerous Nepali songs and movies alike. But the expectation was overturned into discontent as we learned that due to growing pollution at the location, travelers were barred from visiting the area. I’m apologized because we went iconic Bheda Farm and took some pictures. From there we had seen the view of landscape, villages, pine forest, beautiful nature, and pasture area of Bheda farm as well as breathtaking view of massive Indrasarovar Lake so on.
Markhu has enhanced its reputation as a picnic site among travelers as the magnificent view of the river coupled with thatched huts as restaurant resemble an ideal afternoon on a holiday. After that, we went to the suspension bridge over Indrasarovar. It was very relaxing. My heart filled with joy, peace and serenity. We checked-in our lodge ‘River Cross’ and took rest. Then, we visited to lake side and awestruck and energized by the amazing views of the lake. We had the bonfire at the evening time, listen songs, and discussion different topic gossip.
I woke up early morning with chirping of birds and a mesmerizing view of Markhu village greeting us. After having a breakfast we checked-out from lodge. We headed towards boating in the massive Indrasarovar Lake at Markhu. After boating, around 8:00 am we started our trekking/ hiking from Markhu-Chitlang-Chandragiri-Thanakot. Then, we started enjoying our walk in nature and village. We were worried about hiking whether it would be successful or not but it turned out to be adventurous. We sang songs, cracked jokes all the way. Along this routes we touched with natural air, waterfall sound, pine forest, rhododendron, natural flowers so on.  We reached Chitlang and took a delicious lunch of locally prepared at tea-house. After lunch we headed towards the Chitlang to experience the various landmarks. Given that the Chitlang village is backed by numerous years of history and culture. One of the historical landmarks is Ahsoka Chaita and another place is Saatdhara. Since it rained lightly at same time, the road condition of Chitlang was getting worse. We could not visiting Goat Cheese Factory. I missed the surreal taste and smell of cheese from this center.   
After restarted our hiking because our destination is not Chitlang we’ll reach Thanakot. Markhu- Chitlang- Thanakot trails is freshness of air along those routes not a season is the blooming rhododendron but we saw blooming rhododendron attracted us and I wished this hiking would never end. We used short trails in forest via GPS and reached Chandragiri at around 2:30 pm. Without any delay, we started heading towards Thanakot. After 30 minutes descending to conquer Thanakot, Kathmandu; we had walked nearly eight hours this day.
Overall, this two days trips is one of the best experience of my life and unforgettable one of journey. This trips makes us realize that happiness, fun and joy is inherited in travelling. We really should travel as much as we can. I was time and again reminded of what our beautiful country offers.
