All the experiences and knowledge that we have acquired exploring and traveling Nepal – Land
of the Himalayas in our five years of creating marvelous journeys to travelers and explorers is
invaluable. Many shoes have worn out and brains stretched out as we have created a different
perspective through traveling the same route and paths of previous travelers. These experi-
ences and continuous inquiries from you and other explorers regarding Nepal and its journey
gave us the inspiration to create this book, differentiating journeys in categories of individual
interest of exploration.
As we learn about various journeys in Nepal, known as the Land of the Himalayas, some inter-
esting facts might just surface. Ideal Journey in land of the Himalayas provides you the window
to a glimpse of Nepal, including various journeys and adventure activities offered by Himalayan
Enchanters.
PREFACE

We would like to express our gratitude to friends who joined us in their journey to the land of
the Himalayas and provide us the experiences, knowledge and inspiration to grow and do
things differently; to all those who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered
comments and suggestions, allowed us to quote their remarks, and assisted in the editing,
proofreading and design of the Ideal Journey in Land of the Himalayas.
I would like to thank Mary Jane Delahunt Brummitt for helping me in the process of selecting
and editing.
Last but not the least: We beg forgiveness of all those who have been with us over the course
of the years and whose names we have failed to mention.

ENCHANTER’S LOGO:

The Himalayas hold a mystery within itself. A strange force which
defies all scientific logic yet in it contains a spiritual bliss. The
mountains represent the strength, solitude, and serenity of the
planet. Regardless of any external force, it always stands, and stands
tall. Around it, despite its colossal frame, it nurtures a high and jovial
spirit – the spirit of the color orange – which sparks human creativity
and enthusiasm of the youth. This bond between the two is
connected through spirituality, signified by the Prayer Wheel, or the “Mani”. It invokes positive
vibes from the mountains into the spirits of its dwellers.

UNSECO’S WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN NEPAL
UNESCO has listed 4 sites in the world heritages list among which two falls under the cultural
and another two under the natural heritages.
KING’S THRONE DURING MALLA DYNASTY RULE. IN PATAN
Kathmandu Valley:
The Kathmandu Valley has been the politically
and culturally dominating part of Nepal. Its leg-
endary and documented histories are so interre-
lated that these are difficult to separate. A po-
litical establishment of the area is dated to the
beginning of the Christian era, the Kirati period.
This was followed by the Lichchhavi Dynasty
from the 3rd to 9th centuries. Patan is believed
to have expanded into a consolidated town by
the end of the 7th century. The town of Kathmandu was established by a later Lichchhavi king.
After the 9th century, there is a dark period until 14th century and the arrival of the Mallas,
which is an important period for the flourishing of Nepalese art and architecture. These devel-
oped into a growing spiritual orientation towards Tantrism, making it difficult to separate
purely Buddhist from purely Hindu art. From the middle of the 13th century, the city of
Bhadgaon (Bhaktapur) prospered and became a major training centre. The valley was divided
into three rival kingdoms, competing between themselves and bringing the artistic expressions
to the highest point by the mid 18th century. In 1769 the valley was conquered and united by a
leader coming from the outside, Prithvi Narayan Shah. He made Kathmandu his royal city, and
the Hanuman Dhoka Palace his residence. In 1833 and 1934, two catastrophic earthquakes
5|

brought destruction, and some of the monuments had to be rebuilt using much of the original
elements and decoration.

Name of the monuments in Kathmandu Valley
 The Durbar Square of Hanuman Dhoka ( Kathmandu)
 The Durbar Square of Patan
 The Durbar Square of Bhaktapur
 Swayambhu – The Buddhist stupa
 Bouddhanath – The Buddhist stupa
 Pashupatinath – The Hindu Temple of Lord Shiva.
 Changunaraya – The Hindu Temple of Lord Vishnu.
MONASTERY OF PEACE: LUMBINI
Lumbini – The birth place of Lord Buddha
The Shakya Prince Siddharta Gautama, better
known as the Lord Buddha, was born to Queen
Mayadevi, wife of King Suddodhana, ruler of
Kapilavastu, in 623 BC at the famous gardens of
Lumbini, while she was on a journey from her
husband's capital of Tilaurakot to her family
home in Devadaha.
In 249 BC the devout Buddhist Emperor Ashoka,
third of the Mauryan rulers of India, made a pil-
grimage to this very sacred area in company with
his teacher, Upagupta, and erected pillars at
Lumbini, Gotihawa, and Niglihawa, as he did in many parts of India, to commemorate his visit.
The inscription on the Lumbini pillar identifies this as the birthplace of the Lord Buddha.
Lumbini was a site of pilgrimage until the 15th century AD. Its early history is well documented
in the accounts of Chinese travellers, notably Fa Hsien (4th century AD) and Hsuan Tsang (7th
century AD), who described the temples, stupas, and other establishments that they visited
there. In the early 14th century King Ripu Malla recorded his pilgrimage in the form of an addi-
tional inscription on the Ashoka pillar.
The reasons for its ceasing to attract Buddhist pilgrims after the 15th century remain obscure.
The only local cult centred on worship of a 3rd-4th century image of Mayadevi as a Hindu
mother goddess. The Buddhist temples fell into disrepair and eventually into ruins, not to be
rediscovered until they were identified in 1896 by Dr A Fiihrer and Khadga Samsher, then Gov-
ernor of Palpa, who discovered the Ashoka pillar.

“Meditating always like the great Saint. Completely detached and com-
pletely one with the universe.
You are taller than anyone,
Stronger than anyone.
Thunder can't shake you nor can the clouds reach you.
You are fearless.
You are at the highest state, yet you are down
and hold the strongest attachment with our
Mother Earth.
You are Ego-less.
Your purity make the Nature run through you and virgin snow have the
honor to make the beautiful scarf for you.
You are absolutely pure.
You witness all our drama, forgiving always no matter what and keep
showering your blessings with the great treasure of Nature and for the
survival of life in this heavenly planet of Earth.
We salute you O’ Great Saint - The Great Himalayas.”
― Ricky Saikia

You don't climb mountains without a team, you
don't climb mountains without being fit, you don't
climb mountains without being prepared and you
don't climb mountains without balancing the risks
and rewards. And you never climb a mountain on
accident - it has to be intentional.
—Mark Udall

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can
never go back to its old dimensions.”
