Hi guys,
After having a hipster blog forever with everything cramped in one place,I've finally decided to create another blog for my love for travel and food. So that other food and travel junkies know where to look, and I can specialize in what I love without being all over the place.
My history of travel
Sadly, I have not been to many places, but my heart thrives to wander. One of the most recent places I visited was Rasuwa, one of the 75 districts in Nepal. I stayed in the district headquarter Dhunche for 8 days. I also had brief visits to Syabrubesi, Timure, Rasuwagadhi. I was there for work, so I couldn't wander much but from what I saw I can tell you that it's a beautiful place and the people are so nice. Timure and Rasuwagadh are not very densely populated compared to Dhunche. They're building a dry port in Rasuwagadh, so the chances are its going to become super popular and crowded in the next few years. Dhunche used to be a starting point for gosaikunda and langtang but it has shifted to syafrubesi in the past few years. So you might not find as many tourists in Dhunche than before. We stayed in a guesthouse called ' The Sunshine Guesthouse', the person who runs the place was a very nice guy and treated us really well. The only so called problem we had there was that someone kept changing the password of the wifi and it was hell. We had to communicate with people in America and update them with our work and we were struggling to do so because the password kept changing every other night. If you're there to get away from the world, I don't think that's going to bother you much. A suggestion if you are planning to stay in Dhunche choose a hotel which is away from the hill or on the other side of the road from the hill, you'll be able to enjoy a spectacular view every day. unfortunately the place we stayed was on the other side so we didn't have a spectacular view. my room was facing away from the hills so I could see Mt. Langtang every morning but it was a combined view of houses in Dhunche and Mt. Langtang.
Another interesting thing that happened to me while in Dhunche was wining some trout fish!! Yes, winning. So what happened was, we were on the terrace of our guesthouse and we saw that the house right in front of our guesthouse had a radio tower, our curiosity got the better of us and then we decided to tune into the radio station. A call show was in progress and we had to choose one out of 5 numbers and answer the question that followed. There was a caller on the show and she got the question 'Which bank has the highest number of branches in Nepal and which bank is it?', We desperately started googling that and Nepal being the tiny country that it is, didn't have such information online. My other boss was predicting a country so my other boss decided to call, to our luck, we got through. But the answer was wrong and this continued, all of us called Rasuwa FM by using each other's name. I decided to call too, being the only girl in the group I had to mix someone else's surname with my name. I was a little flirty with the RJ, told him I was going to Gosaikunda and was looking for a companion. Our original plan was to keep the conversation as long as possible. I have no idea if the RJ was nice to me or I was just lucky but I got a very easy question and that was ' What is the full form of FM?'. My friend whispered me the answer and I was told that my name would be inserted for a lucky draw but by chance I was the only one who got a correct answer in the whole show. The next day we went to the FM telling them I didn't have an id card and the RJ was nice enough to give me the hamper anyway. I won a coupon to eat trout fish for two 4kms away from dhunche. That night we enjoyed fresh Rainbow Trout Fish and it was delicious.
I'm going to Ghale gaun tomorrow for a 3 days 2 nights trip. So my next post will be about Ghale Gaun, if everything goes as planned, I will also be uploading a video about Ghale Gaun. If i have internet access there, I swear to update you guys everyday.
Regards,
Prarthana
