[DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH]
{Follow this mantra: Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints }
Why is this article not about staying in budget?
because sometimes you have to break the rule,simple.
To beat the heat we could have gone to swimming pool but I guess they do not serve fresh fishes right out of the river, local chicken, beer and we also like to live dangerously. So we headed for Indrawati river. Due to the 25 April 2015 quake and landslides caused by the quake, the water in the river was a little muddy. But that did not stopped us from swimming.We started our journey from maiti devi, where we all gathered and collected the budget. Just when I thought it was about to get late one of my friend`s bike tire got punctured. As he was a rider he told us to leave for dolalghat and he would quickly catch us. After a long hour of ride we reached dulikhel where our rider finally found us. I have to say I was impressed by that. Soon we reached dolalghat and saw the indrawati river. It was beautiful. A silent river flowing between the hills and the hills were as beautiful as the river, it had these yellow trees that matched the clear blue sky.We bought fishes, beers, local chicken and other stuffs. As soon as we reached to the bank of the river, I remember taking off my clothes and getting in the water before anyone. The current from the water was just awesome and the water was cool enough to chill the beer we bought. We had some accidents while swimming but we were born rebels so we continued to swim even. There is no fun like drinking a beer and smoking in the banks of the rivers.We ate the local chicken, which was just just hard to chew before we left. In our way to home we had some pit stops where we took pictures. Before we realized that we were going to be late, again one of the bike broke down. We left the bike at the garage. I reached home quicker than rest of my fellas and got a notice that they were caught for DUI. So I guess never drink and drive :D and if your bike is not in condition then do not go for long drive.
Trip breakdown:
You can either take a bus to dolalghat from purano bus park or take a bike like we did. To stay in budget do not eat at the hotel. Dolalghat is best known for its fishes too so do eat them and they are cheap as well. Dolalghat is somewhat 60km far from kathmandu so make sure that you have enough fuel and your bike is in a good condition. If you want to swim there make sure you are not swimming there alone. The current from the river may drown you even the river is only about 4 5 ft and the pebbles inside the river is too slippery. There may be sharp rocks inside the river that you may not have any visual of so be careful and take some medicines with you. Please drink responsibly.
