enchanted forests, high ridge trails, magic sunrise on pikey peak
abends nehmen wir teil an den zeremonien (pujas) der grossen klöster des solu. wir erfahren wie die schwingungen der töne, der mantras und sakralen instrumente unseren geist beruhigen und unser energiesystem harmonisieren. tagsüber wandern wir durch ursprüngliche wälder, entlang ausladenden graten mit grandiosen aussichten, bis wir unser ziel erreichen: den unscheinbaren gipfel des pikey peak.
von diesem grün-braunen hügel von 4000 müm, breitet sich die gesamte himalaya kette vor uns aus: der höchste gifpel und nabel der welt, sagarmatha gerade gegenüber. und um sie herum die grossen 7000 und 8000 m berge – vom kanchenjunga massiv im osten bis zur annapurna kette im westen. hier erleben wir die magie des sonnenaufgangs: die unbeschreiblichen farbtöne und die mystische stille und kraft des moments.

enchanted forests, high ridge trails, magic sunrise on pikey peak
we remember the value of simplicity, as we enjoy the welcoming comfort of simple guesthouses, after a day spent walking in the peace of nepali hill country trails. we experience the liberating sensation, when the turning thoughts of everday life gradually drop down below us. as we breathe in and out, we reconnect with the essence of life.
we join evening ceremonies (pujas) at the great monasteries of solu, allowing the sound frequencies of chanted mantras and sacred instruments to balance our minds and calm our spirits. the daytime we travel through enchanted forests, crossing ridges with magnificent views until we reach our destination: the inconspicious pikey peak, itself a mere grassy summit of 4000 m. asl.
but it is from this vantage point that the great himalayan range spreads out before and around us. looking straight at us, mt. sagarmatha. and all around her the great 7000 and 8000 m giants – from mt. kanchenjunga in the east to the annapurna range in the west. here we witness the splendour of a perfectly still sunrise, holding our breaths to the pure magic of the moment.
