I had been planning to visit Dalchoki for quite some time, and finally, I went there today, 18th October 2025, with my friends. Dalchoki is located south of Kathmandu Valley at an elevation of around 2,300 meters.
We had planned to reach the top for sunrise, but due to road conditions and my limited experience driving on hilly roads, we arrived a little late. However, on the way, we enjoyed a panoramic view of the Himalayan range.
It was a short trip, and unfortunately, the weather did not favor us for photography this time — but we will definitely return soon to capture stunning landscape shots.
Pokhara, my maternal city—ever since I visited this place, the hill to the northeast, visible from my uncle’s house, has always fascinated me. It is called Kahun Danda. The white tower seen from the rooftop always made me wonder how they managed to build it up there.
After reaching Kahun Danda, I learned that the tower is called Kahun Darahara (View Tower) and was built in 2026 B.S. (1969/70 A.D.).
I had always wanted to visit this place since childhood but never got the chance.
It’s been quite a long time since I have walked long. Had a few plans for short treks and hike but were not able to manage them. A few days back my friends plan for a short hike but were not able to choose the place. They asked to me choose a destination and join them for a Saturday hike. Jamachoo has always attracted me as it’s always seen whenever I point my camera to the north side of Kathmandu valley, it pops up in my photographs.
It’s been more than 2 months we are in lockdown. I got the opportunity to visit Bhaktapur this time. Whenever I introduce Bhaktapur, I call it “Living History” as I see the traditional house and still old people wearing a traditional Newari dress.
It’s been a while I had any photography trip. Today 18th December 2019, I planned to go to ranikot, Bhaktapur with my friends. Did some research on google maps and thought it would be a perfect place to view mountain range during the sunrise.
Our trek towards Gokyo started from Namche at 8 in the morning. We packed few of our unwanted cloths in a bag and left it at hotel. Looking at Mr. Ajay condition yesterday, we were not sure if he can manage to walk for hours. Still we planned to stay at Dole today which is situated at 4230 meters.
Walking trails from Namche till Kyangjuma was wide enough to walk and nicely paved, thorough the trail we could see the beauty Mount Ama Dablam. It took almost 2 hours to reach Kyangjuma where we had tea and took short break. When returning back I made up my mind that I will stay here to do my night photography.
We planned to stay at Namche for acclimatization to avoid mountain sickness. So, we
planned to go around Namche Bazar. After having our breakfast at hotel, we went
to museum. It was an informative tour for me as there were lots of things to
see. We came to know about the history of Namche, Khunde and Khumjung village
and how few people worked to save the environment and develop the Namche . The
pictures there showed how the glaciers have changed in last few decades.
I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
