३ नम्बर पुलकाे सेकुवा ! (The BBq at 3 Number Pul)!
While we were in Amlekhganj, we took a short trip towards 3 Number Pul, just for its famous Sekuwa or Bbq and food. We heard a lot about the great food they serve here. When we reached there, the number of Trucks parked along side the highway and stopping here for a quick lunch/snack break assured us. And of course, it was delicious when we tried it. Have you ever tried the Sekuwas from this place?

Energy Bars are a must have when trekking, biking

Energy Bars are a must have when trekking, biking or any such physically demanding activities. Our choices in the past would have been snickers, mars or bounty bars. But now we have a local product to choose from. These bars from @snackon_np were energy filled and delicious at the same time.

The Journey from Pokhara to Tangting!
It takes around one and a half hours to reach Tangting from Pokhara and it's always fun on the way. Although we've been there so many times, this was the first time we stopped at the "Mara Nama" or the Golden Cat Hill (2nd pic). Then there's the terraced fields, green hills, rivers along the way. Finally, Tangting village is a joy to stay on it's own with its beautiful houses and Gurung culture.

Tangting Waterfall!
About 15-30 mins away from the village of Tangting, this beautiful waterfall is long and cascaded. We'd seen its top half on our earlier trip, but this side is much more beautiful. The hike can be rough but once we got there, it all felt worth it.

We can't get enough of this place, it's beautiful and unique in all seasons. This is from our last visit during the month of May, the hills were covered with blooming rhododendrons and the fog added to the drama of this landscape.

Takasera, East Rukum!
प्रकृतिको एक सुन्दर उपहार हो तकसेरा गाउ !
तक र सेरा - दुई वटा छुट्टा छुट्टै गाउँको नाम मिलेर बनेको नाम हो तकसेरा । सेरा पनि एउटा गाउँमा सिमित छैन्, सेराभित्रका सेराहरु पनि तल्लो र माथील्लो गरेर दुइ ओटा रहेका छन् । तक र सेराको बिचौबिच भागबाट कलकल गर्दै बगेको छ उत्तरगंगा नदि । नाम सँगै भएपनि बस्ति फरक भएका यी तक र सेरा दुई वटा आखाजस्तै हुन् । हेर्दा उस्तै देखिने, विशेषता पनि उहि भएका आखालाई जसरी नाकको डाडोले कहिल्यै भेट हुन दिदैन त्यसरी नै तक र सेराको बिचमा नाक जस्तै डाँडो नै छ । तक र सेराका बस्ति मात्र वारी र पारिका हुन्, त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने व्यक्तिहरुको मन भने जोडिएको छ ।

Moments before Impact (swipe to next pic for the reaction)!
We played our first snow football at Khumai Dada with the folks of GMT. It's much harder than it looks, a few metres run leaves you panting and resting to take a breather. Nonetheless, it was fun.

Do you know the match results? 😂

The Street Foods of Birgunj!
We strolled the streets of Aadarshnagar looking for something to eat. We've always enjoyed the Street Foods of Madhesh, it was no different in Birgunj. We tasted the Egg Rolls, Pani Puri, Pav Bhaji and Chatpates but the shops were in small numbers as compared to the other big cities of Terai. Maybe, we weren't on the right street.

If you happen to know better places for street food in Birganj, let us know.

Monsoon Trek Destinations, Ep 4 Badimalika!
The fourth destination on our series is the enchanting and amazing Tribenipatan and Badimalika. Although its located on the Sudurpaschim Province (with some parts of Tribenipatan in the Karnali Province), reaching here isn't as hard as it used to be. If you follow our route via Kalikot, the whole trip can be done within 7-8 days. And the landscape you'll witness is literally breathtaking. The vast pasture of Tribenipatan is unlike anything we've ever seen while travelling around Nepal.

The hues of red and orange at Krapu Dada!
Every season has its own unique feature at Krapu Dada. The dry spell of winter turns the whole landscape into a barren dry orange patch which feels somehow dull. But not very long after the whole area transforms into vibrant palette of red, maroon, pink and shades of red, as the rhododendrons start to bloom. We visited Krapu for this very specific reason and we were blown away by its beauty.

If you haven't watched our video on Krapu ye, do give it a watch for more info.
