3 days on Bus
It was a long but a wonderful journey. Travelling on a bus for a hectic 1000km continuously is not normal for any people. Mostly the journey would take about 26- 30 hours but this journey was way longer than that for almost 48 hours.
This trip is about a bus journey from Kathmandu to Baitadi, a part of farwestern Nepal. So it was my uncle's wedding so we have to go to our village in the winter of mid February. We were 4 people altogether including me , my father, mother and brother.
The journey was not new to me. I have travelled this route at least 10 times. Crossing hills, scenes of mountains and everlasting fields of terai, the journey is full of adventures. The scenery during this travel can give you an idea of how Nepal looks. Our journey started at 12 am from the buspark.
However, the landslide stopped our way as a large stone blocked our road. The road was cleared next morning. We were late on the journey by almost 10 hours but fortunately we were very lucky that our bus again stopped due to technical failure. We stopped there for almost 3 hours and then finally our journey started.
Although, the travel was very hectic, long and full of difficulties but I didn't get bored in any phase of my journey. I interacted with many unknown people. I get to spend quality time with my family where we talked about a lot of things. My dad was busy talking about politics and government all day with some other elderly people and it was interesting hearing their talks. The only thing that was disturbing was the cold weather. This experience helped me to build my patience and to communicate with strangers and It will always be memorable to me.
