Hello Friends,

The third day of our Parikram started a little late on our 12^th day of the tour. In fact it was very difficult for me even to get up. But In one way I was also excited because the toughest part of our Parikrama was over and we would  be in the last leg of our Parikrama.  And whole team was in happy mood because on that day the parikrama was coming to an end and I tell you it was as equal to climbing Mount Everest, so you can imagine the happiness we were feeling.

The Sherpas provided us with breakfast; Ram said now that we are coming to the end I can have my breakfast. But I said till I see some good rest room there was no question of me having proper food. So I had my energy bar and the tabs. By about 7am we started the last leg of Parikrama.

The wind was cold but the skies were clear and no snow. But the fatigue, not having bath for the last few days was making me feely not so good. But emotionally as I was on high spirits that was giving me strength to walk FW.  They said it was 6 Km walk and I was sure it was more than that. So in a way I was mentally prepared to walk more than 6km. The mountains were rocky and no road. But they were not dangerous. As all most we were coming down even though we were climbing some mountains it was not as tough as the second day parikrama. By about 1.00 pm we have reached a place called DIGRAPH... Where the Land cruisers were waiting for us. And the whole team members who ever were coming   being given a    very warm welcome. And we were not the last but we were not the first ones to reach the destination. So as soon as the team people saw us gave us very warm welcome and every one were hugging each other, congratulating and every one was feeling as if we were celebrating a festival.  It was wonderful feeling of achievement. One  has to  experience to understand.

Then by about 2.00pm all of us started our return journey. Again it took us three days to reach the Tibet china border of Friendship Bridge. As soon as we saw that Bridge, we felt as if the tour was over and every one started feeling sad. Because all of us have become so close to each other , as if we know one another for the last so many days. Then on 19^th June we have reached Nepal. I have requested Ram to take me to Pasupathinath temple again, because the next day we were leaving for India and one more time I wanted to have the Darshan of Pasupathi nath. So we went to temple and had a very good Darshan. When we returned to Hotel every one was waiting for us. After we had our dinner all of us sat till late night and were exchanging addresses and experiences because none of us were in a mood to go to bed.

All of us were very much tiered but were also excited that after the successful trip will be going home and we had to share so many things with our near and dear ones. Then on 20^th June evening we left Nepal for Home with full of happiness, satisfaction, and sweet memories...
