"What was once the
bottom of the ocean is now the top of our world. With that, the
Himalayan Mountains already seemed magical, and with our 16km hike
around it its enchantment did not fail us. The juniors left at 9:30
this mourning heading up the road for about 2km, while the sophomores
faced their fears while repelling down one of Nepal’s beautiful
waterfall.
The weather was
great, and the view was amazing. We passed many villages where we saw
men and women carrying large amounts of leaves and firewood in
baskets. After walking, what seemed to be 40,000 stairs, which lead
to the forest, we reached the village. We had lunch with a wonderful
view of the river and the Borderlands camp. We finally reached the
highlight of the hike: a gorgeous waterfall. After half an hour of
splashing in the water and cooling down, we took the “short cut”
skidding down the rocky dirt path. We arrived the camp at 2:00pm and
enjoyed the rest of the evening playing card games, and planning what
we are going to do for tomorrow’s community service activity at the
local school."
