Heaven<br />
Here on Earth<br />
Text: Ar. Swati Pujari<br />
Then appears the first sign of daybreak, long before you can see the sun in the sky or even before it peeps<br />
out from the mountains in the east. The peak of Dhaulagiri receives the first light of the day. The snow<br />
slowly turns into fiery red, and as the sun rises, the fire in the peak flows down towards the snow below.<br />
These first few magical moments can only be described as a blessing from nature, an indescribable<br />
feeling of having seen heaven, here on earth!<br />
This is a typical clear morning at ‘Lodge Thasang Village’, a short hike (or drive) off the trekking route in<br />
the Annapurna Region. Located in the vicinity of Naurikot village, Lodge Thasang Village takes its name<br />
from the local name of the area comprising of Naurikot along with the neighbouring Tukche, Kobang<br />
and Larjung villages. With Dhaulagiri in the West and Nilgiri in the East, along with the vast flood plains<br />
of Kaligandaki, Lodge Thasang sits comfortably in the crown of a hill, enjoying the magnificent views of<br />
the stunning vicinity.<br />
