Manaslu a me Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 mau lā

I loko o nā lā 19 ma kā mākou huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna, e hāʻawi mākou iā ʻoe i kahi kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole jeep e kaʻana like ana no nā halihali honua āpau, me ka huakaʻi mai Kathmandu a i Machha Khola a mai Muktinath a i Pokhara.

He lōʻihi a luhi loa ka huakaʻi ma ka hui ʻana o nā ala paʻa a me nā ala ʻāʻī ma nā mauna o Nepal. I mea e hōʻoluʻolu nui ai iā ʻoe, no laila ke hāʻawi aku nei mākou iā ʻoe i ke koho e hoʻomaikaʻi i kāu halihali mai kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kūloko a i ʻole jeep i kahi hoʻololi pilikino.

Hāʻawi kēia hoʻonohonoho iā ʻoe i ke kūʻokoʻa, hōʻoluʻolu, a me ka maʻalahi. Me nā hoʻoili pilikino, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻōki i nā wahi āu e makemake ai, no ka lōʻihi o kou makemake, a hele maluhia me kāu mau hoaaloha a i ʻole wale nō.

ʻOiai aia kahi uku liʻiliʻi no ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kahi hoʻoili pilikino, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoluʻolu.

Ma ka lā hope loa o kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi kaʻapuni ʻo Manaslu a me Annapurna, he kaʻa lōʻihi e lawe iā ʻoe mai Muktinath a i Pokhara ma o Jomsom. Inā makemake ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo e iho i Jomsom, e hauʻoli i kahi pō hou, a laila lele i Pokhara i ke kakahiaka aʻe.

Hiki ke hana ʻia kēia hoʻonohonoho no kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi manawa kūpono e ʻike ai i ka nani kūikawā a me ka palena ʻole o ke awāwa Mustang haʻahaʻa. E ʻoki ʻo ia i kou manawa huakaʻi ma ke alanui i ka hapalua, e ʻae iā ʻoe e hoʻomaha ma hope o ka luhi 16 lā ma ka wāwae.

Aia ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna i loko o ka wahi mālama mālama ʻia o Manaslu a me Annapurna Reserve. Eia naʻe, ʻo Annapurna, ka mea i wehe ʻia mai ka makahiki 1977, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea e ʻimi nui ʻia a wehe ʻia i Nepal.

Akā, ua ʻae ke kaapuni ʻo Manaslu i ke komo palena ʻia mai ka makahiki 1991 ma muli o kona hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻana ma lalo o ka ʻĀpana Palena . Kaʻana like ka ʻāina ʻo Manaslu i kona palena me Tibet , nona iho kekahi komo palena ʻole i ka mākaʻikaʻi.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole kokoke loa ka ʻāina ʻo Annapurna iā Tibet a ua hoʻomohala iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he wahi kikowaena no ka mākaʻikaʻi Komohana. Ua hopena kēia mākaʻikaʻi nui i ka emi ʻana o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻāina, ka nani kūloko, a me ka moʻomeheu o nā kānaka.

Eia nō naʻe, ma Manaslu, ua hoʻoikaika ka ʻae ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i ke ʻano, a paʻa mau nā kamaʻāina i kā lākou mau kuʻuna a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.

No laila, i ʻoi aku ka hoʻomau ʻana o ke kaapuni Manaslu, i hiki ai i nā hanauna e hiki mai ana ke hauʻoli i kona nani, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka huakaʻi kaapuni Manaslu ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana ʻāina.

ʻO nā kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna ʻelua mau ala hele wāwae i mahalo ʻia a ʻimi nui ʻia ma Nepal e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ʻelua mau ʻike a me nā ʻano like ʻole. Ke hele nei ke kaapuni ʻo Manaslu a puni ke kiʻi nui o Manaslu, ʻo ia ka mauna kiʻekiʻe loa ʻewalu ma ka honua.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, e kaʻapuni ana ke kaapuni ʻo Annapurna a puni ka Himalaya 10 kiʻekiʻe loa, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Annapurna I nui.

Eia naʻe, ʻo kēia mau huakaʻi ʻelua, ʻoiai ua hui pū ʻia i hoʻokahi, hāʻawi mau iā ʻoe i kahi kaiapuni ʻokoʻa loa. ʻO ka huakaʻi kaapuni Manaslu e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻokoʻa, e manaʻo ʻoe ʻo ʻoe kekahi o nā mea liʻiliʻi.

Aia i loko ona ke koi kupaianaha o ke ala ʻo Larkya La he 5106 m ke kiʻekiʻe , kahi e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā hiʻohiʻona pilikino o Cheo, Shringi, Himlung, Manaslu, a me Cheo . E loaʻa nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ka paʻakikī 5030 m o ke ala ʻo Rui La i ka wā e hiki kokoke loa ai i Tibet.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Annapurna e pili ana i kahi huakaʻi launa pū me ka pilikia o ka Thorong La Pass he 5416 m ke kiʻekiʻe . ʻO ka pae mauna ʻo Annapurna, nona ka I, II, a me IV, Gangapurna, Dhaulagiri, a me Fishtail , ke kāhea aku iā ʻoe ma luna o kēia ala.

No laila, ʻo ka wao nahele mamao a me ka ʻuhane o ka huakaʻi hele maoli ʻo ia ka mea e pili ana i ke kaapuni Manaslu, ʻoiai ʻo Annapurna e pili ana i ka hui ʻana i ka huakaʻi me ke ʻano kupaianaha.

Pono e hoʻolālā ʻia ka huakaʻi kaapuni nani ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna no ka pūnāwai , i Malaki, ʻApelila, a me Mei, a i ʻole i ka hāʻule , i Kepakemapa, ʻOkakopa, a me Nowemapa.

E ʻoluʻolu loa nā mahana, e mohala ana nā pua ʻāhiu a me nā ululāʻau, a e mau ana ka lani i ka uliuli ʻulaʻula. Eia naʻe, e mākaukau no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka mahana me ke kiʻekiʻe.

Ma nā ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o Manaslu a me Annapurna, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i nā pālule, ʻoiai ma nā ʻaoʻao o luna, e haʻalulu paha ʻoe ma muli o nā mahana sub-zero i ka pūnāwai a me ka hāʻule.

ʻO kēia mau kau ʻelua ka mea ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī ke loaʻa iā ʻoe nā manawa kiʻekiʻe e hālāwai ai me nā hoa huakaʻi hele, a ʻo nā hale kī pū kekahi me ka hana.

I Iune, Iulai, a me ʻAukake, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ʻoe ʻaʻole wale i ka ua monsoon akā i kou hou hoʻi ma muli o ka wela a me ka ea o ke kauwela Nepali. Eia kekahi, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hui ʻino o nā makika a me nā lee.

I ka hoʻoilo Nepali i Dekemaba, Ianuali, a me Pepeluali , e pani ʻia paha nā ala ʻo Thorong La a me Larkya La ma muli o ka hau, a e hoʻopau ʻia paha ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna.

Inā lawe ʻia kaʻawale ka huakaʻi kaʻapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna, he huakaʻi hele mauna papa II ia . Eia nō naʻe, i ka wā e hui pū ʻia ai kēia mau huakaʻi mauna ʻelua i hoʻokahi, lilo ka huakaʻi i huakaʻi mauna pae D, a pēlā e hoʻoikaika ai i ka pae paʻakikī.

Hōʻike kēia pae i ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu a me Annapurna he 19 mau lā he kiʻekiʻe o ka hele wāwae kiʻekiʻe, aia kekahi mau pilikia e paʻakikī ke lanakila, ʻoiai inā he mea hele wāwae kiʻekiʻe ʻoe.

E paʻakikī loa ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu ma muli o kona mau ala ʻinoʻino a lapuwale hoʻi e hele ana ma waena o nā ululāʻau ululāʻau nui a me nā pali pōhaku, e hoʻopau ana i kahi ʻāina hau.

He paʻakikī nō hoʻi ke kaapuni ʻo Annapurna , akā ua hele pinepine ʻia kona alahele a ua hoʻomohala ʻia e hoʻokipa i ka nui o ka poʻe hele wāwae.

Eia nō naʻe, pili nā huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻelua i nā lā lōʻihi o ka hele wāwae, e hoʻolōʻihi pinepine ana i 8 a 9 mau hola , ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka lā e hele ai i ke ala. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i nā ala, ua komo pū kēia huakaʻi me nā koi nui o ʻekolu o nā ala kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua: ʻo Larkya La, Rui La, a me Thorong La.

E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo Thorong La ke ala hele wāwae mauna kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua, a ʻo ka hele ʻana i laila ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻalahi. No laila, ʻaʻole kūpono kā mākou huakaʻi kaʻapuni Manaslu a me Annapurna no ka poʻe i hele ʻole i kahi huakaʻi hele wāwae a i kahi huakaʻi lōʻihi ma mua.

No laila, manaʻo mākou i kā mākou poʻe mākaʻikaʻi hou e hele pākahi i kēia ala ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka luʻi hui ʻana o nā mea ʻelua i kahi huakaʻi hoʻokahi.

Aia kahi hiki ke loaʻa i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe ma kā mākou huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna. ʻO ka lōʻihi o 19 mau lā o kēia huakaʻi e hoʻokiʻekiʻe iā ʻoe ma waena o 3500 a 5000 m ke kiʻekiʻe , ʻo ia nā kiʻekiʻe e emi ai ka nui o ka oxygen.

No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka e hele i nā hōʻailona mua o ka AMS hiki ke ʻokoʻa akā ʻike pinepine ʻia e like me ke poʻo, ke kaumaha, ka noʻonoʻo, ka hiamoe, ka pau ʻana o ka hiamoe a me ka makemake, ka huhū, a me ka huikau.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻokuʻu i kāu huakaʻi a hoʻomaha, hoʻoholo ʻoe e piʻi a hele wikiwiki paha, e hoʻomaha iki, a e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka wai, hiki i kēia mau hōʻailona ke ʻano koʻikoʻi.

No laila, he mea pono e noʻonoʻo pono ʻoe i nā hōʻailona mua o ka AMS a hoʻomaopopo koke i kāu alakaʻi e hele pū ana . ʻO ke ala kūpono loa e hakakā ai a pale aku i ka AMS ma o ka hoʻololi wikiwiki ʻana i ke kiʻekiʻe hou.

No kēia pahuhopu, pono ʻoe e piʻi mālie, e noho lawa ka wai, a e hoʻolilo i ka manawa ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe . E pale i kekahi ʻano lāʻau hiamoe a i ʻole nā ​​lāʻau hoʻomaha ʻiʻo.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke lawe i ka Diamox e pale aku a pale aku i ka AMS. I mea e maʻalahi ai kou hoʻololi pono ʻana i ka ea Manaslu, ua hoʻonoho mākou i nā lā hoʻomaha ma Sama Gaon lāua ʻo Samdo ma ke kaapuni ʻo Manaslu. No kou hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma Annapurna, ʻo Manang kou kauhale hoʻomaʻamaʻa.

ʻO kēia mau ana e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai ʻoe e ʻoluʻolu ma mua o ke alo i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o nā ala kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manalsu lāua ʻo Annapurna kahi hana huakaʻi mauna kiʻekiʻe e koi ana i ke ahonui kiʻekiʻe a me ka pae olakino mai ka poʻe komo.

No laila, ma kahi o 4 a 6 mau pule ma mua o kou hoʻomaka ʻana i kēia huakaʻi hele wāwae, paipai mākou iā ʻoe e hele ma ka liʻiliʻi he 3 a 4 mau hola i kekahi mau manawa i ka pule me kāu ʻeke ʻeke i hoʻouka ʻia.

I mea e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i nā ala mauna, e koho e hele ma nā ala piʻi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i nā ʻiʻo o kou wāwae no ka piʻi ʻana a me ka iho ʻana . Pēlā nō, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, ka holo ʻana, a me ke kaʻa paikikala , me ka piʻi ʻana i ke alapiʻi , e hoʻonui hou aku i ka ikaika o kou kino holoʻokoʻa.

Ke mākaukau ʻoe a pau, e hoʻomaka i kāu huakaʻi me nā huakaʻi hele wāwae maʻalahi a kaulike hoʻi e like me ke kaapuni ʻo Annapurna, ke kaapuni ʻo Manaslu, a i ʻole ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Everest Base Camp.

ʻO ka hoʻomākaukau maikaʻi ʻana e uhi i nā mea hana āu e hoʻomākaukau ai no ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu a me Annapurna. ʻO nā kāmaʻa hele wāwae maikaʻi i haki ʻia i loko e kōkua iā ʻoe e pale i ka ʻeha a me ka ʻeha i ka wā e hele wāwae ana.

Pēlā nō, he mea nui like ka lole kūpono ( mehana ) , no laila e lawe mai i nā papa he nui no ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana. Eia kekahi, e noʻonoʻo i nā pale makani, nā pou hele wāwae, nā socks, nā pāpale, nā mīkina lima, nā ʻeke moe, a me nā mea hou aku.

Ma kā mākou huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna no 19 mau lā, e ʻike ʻoe i ka nani o ka noho ʻana ma nā hale hoʻokipa i loko o nā kauhale pō nani.

Ua like kēia mau hale hoʻokipa nani me nā hale māla a hāʻawi i kahi ʻano hoʻohiwahiwa kū hoʻokahi. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hale hoʻokipa he maʻalahi (ʻoi aku hoʻi ma ka ʻāina ʻo Manaslu ) me ʻelua mau moe.

E kaʻana like ʻoe i ka lua (squat) a me nā hale ʻauʻau me nā malihini ʻē aʻe. Hāʻawi ka nui o nā hale hoʻokipa i ka ua, akā e mākaukau e uku i kahi mea hou no kā lākou hoʻohana.

E lawelawe ʻia ʻoe i ʻekolu mau pāʻina ma kahi hale ʻaina o kēia mau hale hoʻokipa. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kīʻaha he mea kanu a hou, me Dal Bhat e hoʻokomo i ka papa kuhikuhi nui. Me ka mana 24-hola o Dal Bhat, hiki ke kauoha ʻia nā momos ʻono, thukpa, noodles, hua manu, a me nā kīʻaha ʻiʻo.

ʻO kāu kaʻa ʻana i Machha Khola mai Kathmandu a mai Muktinath a Pokhara e hana ʻia ma kahi kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole jeep. E ʻoluʻolu e ʻimi i kā mākou mau koho kaʻa i hoʻonui ʻia.

ʻO ka loaʻa ʻole o ka ʻinikua huakaʻi kūpono e alakaʻi i ka pāpā ʻana i ka huakaʻi kaapuni Manaslu a me Annapurna. No laila, e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻinikua huakaʻi, he mea kikoʻī loa ia no kā mākou huakaʻi (ʻokoʻa mai kāu ʻinikua huakaʻi maʻamau).

No kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Manaslu a me Annapurna, pono kāu ʻinikua huakaʻi e kuhikuhi i kēia kākoʻo uhi:

• Hoʻopakele a me ka lawe ʻana i ka helikopter a hiki i 5500 m
• Kōkua Lapaʻau inā loaʻa kahi kaʻina hana ʻokiʻoki
• ʻO ka uhi ulia pōpilikia inā loaʻa kekahi hanana pōʻino
• Hoʻopau i ka uhi no ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana inā hoʻopanee ka huakaʻi
• Hoʻihoʻi koke ʻole ʻia ma muli o ka maʻi

No ka mea, aia ka ʻāina ʻo Manaslu ma lalo o ka pale o ka Manaslu Conservation Area a ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana i kaupalena ʻia, pono ʻoe e ʻae e komo a pono e hana pēlā me kahi alakaʻi i hōʻoia ʻia.

Pono hoʻi e hoʻonohonoho ʻia kāu huakaʻi ʻaʻole ma ke ʻano pākahi, akā ma o kahi keʻena i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia e like me kā mākou e kiʻi ai i ka palapala ʻae kūikawā i kapa ʻia ʻo RAP no Manaslu . ʻO ke kumukūʻai RAP e like me ke kau o ka hele wāwae penei:

• USD 100 no ka mea hele wāwae i ka puna a me ka hāʻule
• USD 75 no ka mea hele wāwae i ke kauwela a me ka hoʻoilo

ʻO nā palapala ʻae ʻē aʻe e pono ai no ka huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu lāua ʻo Annapurna, ʻo ia ka Manaslu Conservation Area Permit/MCAP (USD 30 no kēlā me kēia mea hele wāwae), Annapurna Conservation Area Permit/ACAP (USD 30 no kēlā me kēia mea hele wāwae), a me TIMS Card (USD 20 no kēlā me kēia mea hele wāwae).

E mālama ʻia ka hoʻokele hoʻokele a me ke kumukūʻai o kēia mau palapala e ka hui ʻo Life Himalaya Trekking.
