      Just... not enough words

      February 18, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

      Noo I don't wanna wake up. 6am and no yoga class today. Everything because of amazing trip to the mountains. Finally! Outside of the city.
      We went to saint place of Buddhism to the monastery where Buddha lived one of his lifes. Here he sacrificed himself to mother lion so she can feed her babies and these ones become his followers.
      It's amazing place on the top of the mountain where people are going to visit, meditate in same cave as Buddha and hang the flags with prayers. We also bought some flags and we wanted to hang them. We wrote our wishes and went to the special place. There we met two young boys and they helped us with hanging. But it was amazing. They were climbing on the trees barefoot like a monkeys. So in the end we merged 7 flags together and we also have our footprints on this place.
      After than we had lunch in small village, finally, home cooked food!
      When we get home some of the people still have energy for yoga! So why not, with Sun set, wow...
      And again dinner with monks and the famous rinpoche as yesterday. But this day we had presents for them and also ice cream! You should see their eyes and pure happiness, that's so awesome.
      We finished our evening with one of our rooftop sessions and also rum with honey, mnam!

      Back to nature

      February 19, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      It's here, we are leaving Kathmandu straight to the nature, actually back to nature, that's the name of the camp.
      The journey wasn't so interesting 8 hours in bus. We survived, that's only important.
      Finally, Pokhara is waiting for us. In the end of the road we met Dambar, amazing person, camp owner and went up to the hill where the camp is. So surrounded by nature in "back to nature" the second part of our trip is beginning. It's just... just tents, trees, nature woooow. Also cold water because the water is heated during cooking. I love it!
      And in the evening we needed some relax. Well... We went to bed around 1 am. Quite a big party with dance, talking about the nature...
      Here you can feel that you're alive.

      Meditation in the jungle

      February 20, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Just imagine the feelings when you open your eyes and you're looking directly to Sun rise. I'm sleeping outside! It's just....
      So morning yoga session with Dambar, it's nice I have free time to practice.
      After amazing breakfast we were ready for trekking. We went through the jungle to waterfall, barefoot! And the water was really cold! But, the energy in water, really powerful. And in combination with singing bowls meditation... We were speechless...
      In the afternoon we were supposed to stay in camp but someone wants to go for more hiking, well why not! So one more trip with 4 friends through the jungle.
      When the evening came we were waiting for shaman. Real shaman respected in whole area! He blessed us so now we are protected.
      As yesterday we spent the rest of the evening with laughing, drinking and talking...

      Trek, visitors and pure happiness

      February 21, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

      I love to sleep outside! Rising Sun above large lake, I'm laying covered with blanket and I have to only open my eyes.
      The first thing in the morning is yoga session, of course! And with Dambar it's just, you don't know if you should laugh or cry because it's belly workout.
      After breakfast is time to go! Short trek through the jungle and villages. Just imagine, you're walking and the lady just invites you to her home because it's special. And we got homemade honey! Everybody has feelings to give them everything what we have. The most amazing thing is, they don't need it. They're happy and it's pure happiness in their eyes.
      In the end of the trek we had some energy left with Andrea so we run the stairs back to the camp! It was quite demanding but we made it!
      And people still wanted to practice! Headstands, reverse positions, simply playing with the body. Just imagine that 65 years old man made headstand! The most magical thing was chanting the mantras before. It was outstanding.
      Every time I have feeling that it couldn't be better but... In the evening the locals came to our camp and show us their dance and songs. We were dancing playing games drinking... We have so many things to learn from them...

      Sleeping in the village

      February 22, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

      The morning program is still same, yoga and breakfast. With rising sun, chanting and detox workout!
      After breakfast we had tour through ayurveda garden. Well it's not any special garden it's whole camp! Every tree, every plant has its own meaning and healing powers.
      The main thing of the day is trip to village over the hill. One hour of stairs, love it! In the village we had welcoming program and we were separated into many families. So every small group went with their new householder for meet his family and for a dinner. Our householder was leader of the community. He came back to the village because his father pasted out to take care of his mother. And because he was bored, he create community to help locals develop their own business, homestays, to teach them how to grow new plants, everything. It's so nice! And together their are able to provide food for whole community, repair the roads, selling organic food in city market....
      We were talking a lot but it was time for evening program performed by locals for us. Again traditional dance, songs and we also met Nepal top comedy actors. in the end was time for us! We sign as a one man and two couples were dancing polka. Proper representation of the Czechia!
      Now when I'm writing this footprint I know that the dinner should be skipped...Well, food poisoning in Nepal.. I just have to try everything.

      Back to the camp

      February 23, 2018 in Nepal ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Aaa morning... well what can I say. I knew I shouldn't ate the last piece of the chicken on my plate... We went to visit local school, all children were standing there singing songs, dancing and also we had gifts for them. And I was occupying toilet for a whole time...
      The worst was we had to go back to camp and in my state. And also there were steep stairs, rain during the night, just awesome.
      But still. When I saw pictures of children...Again the pure happiness in their eyes.
      The best moment came in the evening. One woman of our group has decided to help to small girl from local village. This child doesn't have parents and her uncle is drinking.. and I was middleman. We settled some conditions and we made a deal! I have to admit I was crying when I saw happiness in their eyes..
