A Short trip to Devithan by Natasha Shrestha

Last Tuesday 23rd June we students of class 10 ‘B’ along with our class teacher Mr Umesh Timalsina went for a short trip to Devithan Temple, located on the hill top of Dhulikhel. After having our lunch, we started our journey walking through a dusty road and watching the stunning and panoramic view of hills and ancient village settlements. After walking about one hour we reached our destination. We were lucky that day because the temperature was not scorching hot, and the view was truly spectacular. The area was occupied by the Nepal Army and they have been maintaining the condition of cultural heritage. The other way to Devithan was from Adda Bazar, where people have to climb more than 1000 steps, but we chose the shortest but bumpy way to Devithan from our school. We had a great experience to visit such a place of religious importance that contained the renowned statue of DEVI.

Presentation on Mountaineering and Climbing by Rupesh Chaudhari and Sahil Shrestha:

On 10th June, Wednesday, class 8, 9, and 10 along with 8 teachers went to the KU auditorium to learn about mountaineering and climbing. Mountaineering is a sport, hobby or profession of walking, hiking, backpacking and climbing mountains. Our presenter was veteran climber Mr. Pemba Galje Sherpa, who has already climbed Mt. Everest six times and Mt. K2 once. He received many National and international awards. He was also awarded with the National Geography Adventure award of 2008. He was one of the members of the team of 18 members to conquer Mt. K2. Many members of the team were trapped at the summit at 27000 ft. On the route of bottleneck. He chose to descend the bottleneck without oxygen. He reached the summit and could save two of his team mates. He has received many other domestic awards and prizes.The presentation lasted about two hours. He described about the status of mountaineering in Nepal. He showed us many photographs on ice climbing and rock climbing in Nepal. He also described about the requirement for those climbing. He briefly talked about the commercial expenditure to Mt. Everest which is supposed to be most expensive climb. He introduced us to many technical terms used in mountaineering and climbing. He displayed much equipment required for climbing. We gained enough knowledge from Pemba Galje Sherpa. Many of our friends were inspired by him to climb. It’s really difficult to climb up the Mt. Everest although it seems to be easy. It was a good program and we all hope that such programs should be conducted in the coming future.
