One of the kitchen ladies on the orphanage; Chandra, invited us four volunteers to come and visit her family in the mountains of Trishuli. YES! We left Thursday morning and travelled for about 4,5 hours with bus and after this we walked 2 hours up, up, up.
We were exhausted after, but it was a fantastic trip cause the landscape out there was incredible. We’ve never seen anything like it. Terrace landscape. Mountain, river, flower fields, forest. Wow! When we came to the village it came very clear that these people do not see white people often. They were staring at us ALL the time and the children followed us everywhere which was extremely annoying. We spend three nights in the village and it was very uncomfortable and we didn’t sleep much because of the bad beds and the noises all around. And we were all a little bit sick some time during the stay. So not a perfect paradise but all in all it was a fantastic experience to live in the mountains the way Nepalese people do it. And they were so friendly – sometimes a little too friendly J
