Picking Up Trash While Hiking in Kritipur,Kathmandu: Our Experience on Champadevi Temple Trail


Last Thursday, February 16th, my five friends and I decided to go for a hike to champadevi temple located in kritipur, ktm.The temple is located at an altitude of 2278m and is known for its beautiful views and spiritual significance. As we started our hike we were amazed by the breathtaking views of the Himalayas, lush forest, and city below. However, our joy was short-lived as we noticed that there was litter scattered everywhere on the trail. Empty wrappers, plastic, bottles, and even food have littered the path, taking away from the beauty of the natural surroundings.

It was disheartening to see how people carelessly discard their trash on the trail not realizing the harm it causes to the environment. As nature lovers and responsible citizens/hikers, we could not sit back and watch the situation worsen. So we decided to do our bit and started picking up the trash we saw along the way.

We took the trash bag with us and as we walked along the trail, we filled it up with the litter we found. We picked up empty water bottles, snack wrappers, and even leftover food scraps. It was small but impactful action that we could take to help to preserve the natural beauty of the trail.

Picking up trash while hiking is not about keeping the environment clean, it also helps to protect wildlife and maintain ecological balance. It's crucial to educate and spread awareness among hikers and tourists on how their actions can impact the environment and why it's essential to be responsible while hiking.

We hope that our small action will inspire others to do the same and be more mindful of their actions while hiking. We urge everyone to carry a small trash bag with them on their next hike and pick up any litter they come across and dispose of it properly. If we all do our part, we can keep our natural trails and surrounding clean and preserve them for future generations to enjoy.

Champadevi Temple Trail was a beautiful and spiritual experience that was marred by the sight of litter scattered everywhere. But it was a learning experience for us and reminded us of the importance of taking a small action to help protect our environment. let's all do our past and work together to preserve the natural beauty of our trail and surrounding. We encourage everyone to be mindful of their activities and the impact they have on the environment.

A Pilgrimage to Mankamana: Fulfilling Promises and Creating Memories

Image
Have you ever embarked on a journey that combined devotion, adventure, and family bonding? Well, I recently had the opportunity to do just that as my family and I decided to visit Mankamana Temple, a place known not only for its spiritual significance but also its breathtaking natural beauty. A Divine Promise Our journey to Mankamana Temple was not a spontaneous decision. It was the culmination of a promise made by my mother a few years ago. In a time of despair when my sister faced a miscarriage and pregnancy complications, my mother turned to her faith for solace. She made a heartfelt promise that if my sister gave birth without any complications, we would visit Mankamana and offer a symbolic act of gratitude—a pigeon's flight. From Kathmandu to Mankamana My family resides in Biratnagar, while I am pursuing my master's degree in Kathmandu. Mankamana Temple is conveniently located, just a five-hour drive from the capital. Additionally, my brother also resides in Kathma

Innocent Joy of Childhood

Image
I met these 3 kids on my way to the village of champadevi temple, Kathmandu and it was a refreshing experience. The kids were around 8 to 10 years old and they playing with their cartoon masks. They were carefree and enjoying their best life, and it was a delight to watch them play. As I approached them, they looked at me with curiosity and smiled. I smiled back and introduce myself. They were shy at first but so on they opened up and started talking. They told me about their school and their favorite subjects. They also talked about their families and their daily routine. What struck me the most was their innocence and simplicity. Life is too simple when you are a kid and these kids were living proof of that. They didn't have any worries or responsibilities. All they wanted was to play and have fun. It was a stark contrast to the life of adults who are constantly struggling to make ends meet. As we talked, I couldn't help but think about how our inner child disappears as we gr

Introduction : As summer vacation arrived, our classmates and I eagerly planned a memorable adventure to make the most of our 15-day break. After much discussion, we decided to embark on a hike to Bhundole in Pharphing—a place recommended by one of our classmates who had seen its popularity on TikTok. With homemade lunch in our backpacks, we set off early in the morning, filled with excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead. The Journey Begins: On an early Wednesday morning, we hopped on a bus at 6:30 am from Naya Bazar to Balkhu, paying a nominal fare of Rs 20. From Balkhu, we boarded another bus directly to Pharphing, costing us Rs 50. Despite the conductor's oversight in not passing our ID cards for the discount, we eagerly looked forward to the upcoming adventure. The bus dropped us off at Pharphing Chowk promptly at 8 am, where we sought guidance from the locals about our destination. They informed us that it would take approximately two hours from the chowk to reach B
