A Travelogue of My 3rd Yunnan Adventure… By Andrew

我的第三次云南之旅的游记--作者Andrew

Part Two: Rediscovering the discovered

第二部分：重新发现之旅

 

Introduction

前言

I don’t know if any of my Indian friends who visit my blogs have been to Kailash Mansarover or not. I must ask Usha Suryamani because she is always out visiting temples. I marvel her faith that I believe gives her strength to make pilgrimages to even little known temples at far off places. In India the devotees undertake arduous journeys to temples situated on high hills. One is often amazed to see little children and even the old and infirm, marching on, with prayers on their lips. The conditions euphemistically speaking are not good. Poor infrastructure, lack of toilets on way, insufficient rain shelters, inadequate health and safety support from the administration- everything seems lacking except enthusiasm of the people and the vagaries of weather but still millions of people make pilgrimages to Amarnath Caves in Jammu and Kashmir, Vaishno Devi (also in J & K), Kedarnath and Badrinath in (Uttranchal) and many other places deep in the Himalayas.

我不知道访问我博客的印度朋友有没有去过冈仁波齐山。我必须问问Usha Suryamani，因为她经常去寺庙。我对她的信仰感到惊奇，我相信她的信仰使她有力量去遥远的地方，甚至是不知名的寺庙朝圣。在印度，信徒们要到坐落在高山上的寺庙进行艰苦的旅行。人们常常惊奇地看到年幼的孩子，甚至是年老体衰的人，嘴里念念有词着继续前进。委婉地说，条件并不好。基础设施差、缺乏厕所，避雨的地方不多，健康和安全管理的支持不足，除了热情的人和变幻莫测的天气，一切似乎都很缺乏，但仍有数以百万计的人们会到查谟和克什米尔的阿马尔纳特石窟和拜希诺女神，北阿坎德邦的凯达尔纳特和巴德里纳特朝拜，除此之外还有很多位于喜马拉雅山脉深处的其他地方。

Some people go to Mansarover in China. They have to undergo fitness test because it is said that physically weak people cannot undertake that tough journey. I don’t know, how one feels on being there but the memories of seeing the majesty of ‘Nar’ (Man) and Narayan (God mountains at Badrinath, covered with snow are still fresh in my memory though I went there more than twenty years ago. They are two towering mountains facing each other as you see them while standing in the valley where Badrinath Temple is located. The sheer size was Narayan dwarfs Nar mountain range and their names thus aptly symbolize the stature of man in comparison with the majesty of God

在中国，有些人去圣山，必须接受健康测试，因为据说身体虚弱的人不能承受那段艰难的旅程。我不知道人们在那里的感受如何，但我记得20多年前到过那里，看到‘纳拉延’(人类)和纳拉延(巴德里纳特的神山，被雪覆盖)的雄伟壮观的景象仍然历历在目。他们是两座巍峨的山，面对面站在巴德利纳神庙所在的山谷中。纳拉扬山是纳拉扬山的侏儒纳尔山脉，他们的名字恰如其分地象征着人类的地位与上帝的威严相比。

Today, while writing introduction for the second part of the blog by Andrew a thought came to my mind that what the pilgrims think on reaching Mansarover? Perhaps the heaven lies beyond the foreboding hills and on seeing the snow-capped mountains surrounding Mansarover what do the apostate think?  That what hidden beauty lies on the other side of the yonder mountains? Well, no one knows it for sure where heaven is or whether it is there or not- but many of us will contend that it is here itself ; all that you need to have is an eye to discern it.

今天，当我为安德鲁的第二部分博文写引言时，我想到了一个想法，那就是朝圣者到达曼沙洛弗后会怎么想?也许天堂就在山丘后面吧。当你看到被白雪皑皑覆盖的群山时，你会怎么想?隐藏在山那边的会是什么美景呢?好吧，没有人确切地知道天堂在哪里，也没有人知道它是否在那儿——但是我们许多人会争辩说，天堂本身就在这里;你所需要的只是一只眼睛来认出它。

Let me bring to you some lines from a beautiful Hindi song that has suddenly come to my mind.

让我为你们带来一首优美的北印度歌曲的歌词，它突然闪现在我的脑海里。

Yeh kaun chitrakar hai (Who is the artist?)

艺术家是谁？

Second Stanza

第二节

Tapaswiyon see hain atal yeh parawato kee chotiyan

These mountain peaks are like unshakeable (faith, grit of the) meditating hermits

这些山峰就像冥思的隐士一样坚不可摧

Yeh sarpa see ghoomeradar, gheradar ghatiya

These serpentine, curvilinear valleys

这些蜿蜒曲折的山谷

Dhwaja se yeh khade huye hain wariksh dewadar ke

These deodar trees are standing like flags

这些杜达尔树像旗帜一样矗立着

Galiche yeh gulab ke, bagiche yeh bahar ke

These carpets of roses, these gardens of spring

这些玫瑰地毯，这些春天的花园

Yeh kis kavee kee kalpana kaa chamatkar hai

This is the marvel of imagination of which poet?

这是哪位诗人的想象奇迹?

Yeh kaun chitrakar hai..........

Who is this artist…

这位艺术家是谁?

Now I take the liberty of presuming that you have liked this stanza and therefore I am going to put the other two stanzas too here because poetry enthuses me, it’s my first love.

现在我冒昧地假设你们喜欢这一节，因此我将把另外两节也放在这里，因为诗歌让我着迷，这是我的初恋。

Let’s enjoy the song first

让我们先欣赏这首歌

The First Stanza

第一节

Haree haree wasundhara pe nila nila yeh gagan

On this sprawling green carpeted earth is blue sky

在这铺着绿色地毯的广阔土地上，是蓝天

Ke jis pe badalon kee palakee uda raha pawan

On which the air is swaying the palanquin of the clouds

空气在上面晃动着云朵的轿子

Dishayein dekho rangbharee, chamak rahee umang bharee

See it’s colourful all around. All directions are glittering with excitement

看，到处都是五颜六色的色彩。四面八方都闪烁着兴奋的光芒

Yeh kis ne phul phul pe kiya singar hai

Who has decorated every flower?

谁装饰了每一朵花?

Yeh kaun chitrakar hai

Who is the artist?

艺术家是谁?

Third Stanza

第三节

Kudrat kee iss pavitrata ko tum nihar lo

Behold the purity of the Nature

看看大自然的纯洁

Iss ke guno ko apne mann me tum utar lo

Assimilate her qualities in your heart

你的心要像她的品质一般高洁

Chamakalo aaj lalima, apne lalat kee

Let your forehead (shine with its glory)

让你的额头(闪耀着它的光辉)

Kan kan se jhankatee tumhe chhabee virat kee

From every particle the image of Almighty peeps out

从每一个细微之处，都出现全能的神

Apnee toh aankh yek hai uss kee hajar hai

We have just one set of eyes but He has a thousand

我们只有一双眼睛，但他有一千双眼睛

Yeh kaun chitrakar hai.........

Who is this artist?

这位艺术家是谁?

Although the song is very meaningful but my translation is poor, I know I haven’t been able to do justice to the words but I think I have conveyed the essence.

虽然这首歌极富深意，但是我的翻译水平实在太差，我自知还没能对歌词做出正确的解释，但我认为我已经传达了精髓。

We all know, who He is and the more we see His art, the more we learn to see His art in everything around us, the more blessed we feel.

我们都知道他是谁，我们越多地看到他的杰作，我们就越能从我们周围的一切中看到他的艺术，我们就越感到幸福。

If you happen to go to Kailash ManSarover and a thought comes to you that “What lies beyond?” then- this blogs brings an answer to your question- “What lies on the other side of Kailash Man Sarover?” (For the benefit of my Chinese friends, let me put here that Kailash Mansarover is a Holy Pilgrimage site revered by the Hindus.

如果你碰巧去了冈仁波齐山，你会有一个想法:“这后面有什么?”然后——这个博客回答了你的问题——“冈仁波齐山的另一面是什么?”(为了我的中国朋友的利益，让我在这里说一下，冈仁波齐山是一个被印度教徒崇拜的圣地。

 

In the heart of Shangri-La

在香格里拉的中心

Andrew writes:-

安德鲁写道:-

My original plan was of skipping Lijiang and finding some company for coming along with me to visit Meri Snow Mountain（major peak Kawagebo ). The main purpose was of course to save on expenses by sharing a cab, for the reason that public transport never allows hopping off for taking instant photos when captivated by random awesome landscapes. Besides, having dinner in solitude is a torture in itself.

我原来的计划是跳过丽江和找一些同伴，跟我一起去梅里雪山(主峰卡瓦格博峰)。其主要目的当然是为了共用一辆出租车，节省开支，因为公共交通不可能随时停车，让我拍摄风景照片。此外，独自吃饭本身就是一种折磨。

On such an excursion the best thing would be to trek all the way, camping at night but in today's commercial world, it's even impossible to dream such long excursions.

在这种短途旅行中，最美妙的事是一路长途跋涉,在夜间露营,但在今天的商业世界,想要进行这样长途徒步简直就是做梦。

Now hundreds of such places are visited each year by multitude of humanity and they leave the marks of modernization in the form of garbage that Mother Nature doesn't know how to get rid of.

如今，每年有数百个这样的地方被大量的人类造访，游客们留下了垃圾，留下了现代化的痕迹，这是大自然母亲不知道该如何应对的。

My expectation fell through after two nights in Lijiang where I learned from the local people that it was perhaps the leanest off-season that they had seen in years and they couldn’t recollect when they had seen so few tourists to follow Joseph Rock’s trail in the heart of Shangri-La before this.

我在丽江逗留了两个晚上后，期望告吹了，我从当地人那儿得知，这可能是他们最近几年来观察到的最不景气的淡季，他们已经不记得上次看到游客跟随约瑟夫洛克的足迹进入香格里拉中心是什么时候的事了。

A sleepy little town and the foothills

一个沉睡的小镇和人行道

But nearly 300 RMB of entrance fee to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and a luxurious cable-car ride provided me with enormous tranquility and gratification for the venture ahead.

但玉龙雪山近300元的门票和豪华的缆车之旅，为我的冒险事业提供了巨大的宁静和满足。

Last two times when I was in Lijiang, I had not seen even a glimpse of this mountain which is sacred to the local Naxi people.

前两次来丽江，我一眼都没看过这座对当地纳西族人来说非常神圣的山。

The peak-season is during summer vacation but it also is perhaps the worst time to visit this mountain because most of it remains shrouded in thick mist and the peaks remain hidden from the view by the thick clouds above.

高峰季节是在暑假，但也可能是参观这座山最糟糕的时间，因为它的大部分仍然笼罩在厚厚的薄雾中，山峰仍然隐藏在厚厚的云层的视线之外。

Now, soothed by the wintry sunshine like smile of the mother, I gasped and reached the highest point till where setting the feet is allowed, from the upper station of the cable car which passes above the main glacier

现在，在母亲微笑般的冬日阳光的抚慰下，我气喘吁吁地走到最高点，直到我的脚可以站在那里，从穿过主冰川的缆车上走出来。

Reaching the highest point under the summit....The famous point for self certification-

到达顶峰下的最高点....这是自我实现的著名高点

So high that you can almost touch the sky..........

这里是如此之高，你几乎可以触摸到天空…

you can hear the stars whisper

可以听到星星的低语

and you can see your thoughts fly

可以看到你的思想在飞翔

At the landmark of 4680 meter above sea level, some mild altitude sickness did not bother me much. However the sheer beauty of the place stole my heart and my tiredness and the overpowering fears evaporated as if defying science or perhaps the heat of my excitement was intense. The thoughts propelled by gigantic stream of pleasure which the site of a frozen glacial stream had set in motion were like merry laughter of a child that knows no restraints.

在海拔4680米的地标上，一些轻微的高原反应并没有让我感到多大的困扰。然而，这个地方纯粹的美景偷走了我的心，我的疲惫和压倒一切的恐惧消失了，我的兴奋是如此强烈。冰封的冰河留下了巨大的快乐之流，推动着人们的思想，就像一个无拘无束的孩子发出的快乐笑声。

Hello Namita,

I feel inflated. Your comment is far better than my post but surely I am going to bring more of the beauty none of us has seen so far.

Navneet

你太抬举我了。你的评论比我的文章好得多，但我肯定会带来更多我们都没见过的美景。

 

Namita

Wow...what a serenely beautiful post. Lovely pics and description....thanks for sharing.

The profound majesty of of snow clad mountains, the bright blue sky, the quiet........such a humbling, purifying impact they have.......such a pacifying impact they have on soul, body and mind that all whats, whys and wheres quietens down.

Shangari La.....ah those white mountains...in their light everything one sees is divine. They open thousand windows to perceive, to feel, to experience God.

That song....yah kaun chitrkar hai.........beautiful lyrics .

keep pouring in such posts.

namita

哇。。。多么宁静美丽。可爱的图片和描述....谢谢你的分享。

厚重的冰雪覆盖的山脉，明亮的安静的蓝天…让人谦卑、净化心灵的效果很明显……它们对人的灵魂、身体和心灵都有一种安抚的作用，无论什么事，无论什么因果，无论身处何方，都会平静下来。

香格里拉.啊，那些白色的山脉……在这些圣光中，你看到的一切都是神圣的。他们打开了上千扇窗户，让我们去感知，去感受，去体验上帝。

这首歌....歌词太美了。

继续给我们带来这样的帖子哦。

Namita

 

Ushasuryamani

Wonderful and divine..

Lovely songs and translation...

I have not been to Manasarovar though I had been yearning. Right now I am considered too old( we are too old to venture there says mani in my name) to venture out...though my heart says " Nothing is impossible with HIs grace !!!

Yes..I have been to Badrinath and drank the beauty of the mountains you have described !! It was amazing...While driving up to Badrinath from Dehradun the first glimpse of the Nanda Devi Parbath thrilled me !!!

Shangri La...

Ah !! I am reminded of James Hilton's Lost Horizon !!

The photographs are awesome...wish I could make it :)

Your blog has transported me to a totally different dimension Navneet!!

God bless you :)

Sorry I am late..Had been to Madurai and nearby places on Temple visits, for my dose of positive energy

美妙、神圣。

可爱的歌曲和翻译…

我没有去过圣山，尽管我一直很向往。现在我可能已经太老了（我们已经过了去那儿冒险的年纪了）……虽然我的心说:“有了他的恩典，一切皆有可能!!!”

是的. .我去了巴德里纳特，饱览了你描述的山上的美景!!非常神奇……当从德拉敦开车去巴德里纳特时，第一眼看到楠达德维山让我激动不已!!!

香格里拉…

啊! !我想起了詹姆斯·希尔顿的《消失的地平线》!!

这些照片太棒了……我希望我能亲自去看看

你的博客把我带到了一个完全不同的维度!!

愿神保佑你)

对不起，我迟到了。我刚刚为了我的正能量去过马杜赖和附近的寺庙

 

Navneet

I too want to go and I am often inspired by your writeup about your pilgrimages, but I am not that religious. I will need stronger mental resolution for taking up such journeys but I have a sincere desire, that if ever I could establish a tourism service between India and China, I will ask my Sulekha friends to join me in my maiden adventure. Should we choose such challenging journeys or settle down for more attractive Shanghai- Beijing tours, will depend on how my Sulekha friends respond to my offer if it ever materialized.

Navneet

我也很想去，你写的关于朝圣的文章经常给我启发，但我并不是那么虔诚的教徒。我需要更坚强的意志来完成这样的旅行，但我有一个真诚的愿望，如果我能在印度和中国之间建立一个旅游服务，我将邀请我的Sulekha朋友加入我的首发旅程。我们是选择这样富有挑战性的旅程，还是选择去更具吸引力的上海-北京之旅，将取决于我的Sulekha朋友们对我的提议的回应，如果我的提议实现了的话。

 

Andrew

Shangri-La comes from local tibetan accent, which means sun and moon in one's heart. It is very easy topoliticize everything you see. What matters most is citizens' well-being and life of decency. Obscurantism is ideal for explorers who seek for some primitive society. If past is darkness, once enlightend, no matter how a society changes, you will always find your own sun and moon.

香格里拉来自西藏方言，意思是心中的太阳和月亮。你看到的一切很轻易地能够成为你有生以来看过的最佳风景。最重要的是公民也有了福祉和体面的生活。蒙昧主义是寻找原始社会的探险者的理想选择。如果过去是黑暗，一旦照亮，无论社会如何变迁，你总会找到自己的太阳和月亮。

 

Navneet

Hello Ocean,

I admire you for your views which are contrary to the conventional. I am not aware of what the foreigners say about such places as Shangrila but bringing commercialization to a place has its good and bad points. It's not possible to say whether improvement in financial status brings happiness to a person or not but it surely makes his life easier in many ways. I have come back to China and I am once again at the same place Gaogang. I will be happy to meet you some day if I could. Where are you these days and what is your phone number?

你好,

我钦佩你的观点，因为你的观点与常规相反。我不知道外国人对香格里拉这样的地方怎么说，但是把商业化带到一个地方，有它的优点和缺点。经济状况的改善是否会给一个人带来幸福还很难说，但它肯定会在很多方面让他的生活更轻松。我回到了中国，又回到了高港。如果可以的话，我很高兴有一天能见到你。你最近在哪里，你的电话号码是多少?

 

Ocean

Navneet Ji：

what a good new to know you back to China and what a bad new to know I am not in China right now, I am in other country, and I think I will not return to TaiZhou anymore because my contract has done. and the factory is in very bad situation so I have no reason to stay there. but if you have time, welcome to visit my hometown. it is a bad place, but still not seriously bad to tourist.

improvement in financial status maybe not brings happiness, but personally, I think it is better to let it happen, then vertify it is true or not. if someone's financial status is not improved, he live in unhappiness, see what is happen in Bhutan. Bhutan once the world "mostly happiness country", and most of Bhutans said they live in happiness. however, recently some reasearch show the Bhutan's happiness index has obviously fall, because what? because now they have TV. now they know outside world. and that shit Shangri-La, to me, just another example same like Bhutan.

Navneet先生，

得知你回到中国，这真是件好事，可惜我现在不在中国，真是太糟糕了，我在别的国家，我想我不会再回到台州了，因为我的合同已经结束了。工厂的情况很糟糕，所以我没有理由留在那里。但如果你有时间，欢迎来我的家乡。这是个糟糕的地方，但对游客来说还不算太糟。

经济状况的改善也许不会带来幸福，但就我个人而言，我认为最好是让它发生，然后证实它是真的还是假的。如果一个人的经济状况没有得到改善，他就会过着不幸福的生活，看看不丹会发生什么。不丹曾经是世界上“最幸福的国家”，大多数不丹人说他们生活在幸福之中。然而，最近一些研究表明不丹的幸福指数明显下降了，因为什么?因为现在他们有电视了。现在他们知道了外面的世界。那该死的香格里拉，对我来说，只是另一个和不丹一样的例子。

 

Ocean

Navneet Ji：

Ah, the Shangri-La, the vocabulary which I hate mostly in this world. sometimes I told myself that if I am the god, the first thing I do is to ban this word for all life who lives in this planet.

I hate this word not because this place is awful, no,no,no. LiJiang and this region, is beautiful, even more beautiful than anybody's imaging. I hate this word because I think this word is created by west, and itrepresents such idea - a man has right tostereotying other man, and force other man to do whatever takes to comply hisillusion. no, nobody has such right. that how those westner come and feel deeply disappointment about Lijiang because in their illusion, they think they will see some monks who extremly poor but do not care any shit of outside, so harmony and so on, then they will fell they are saved, escape from indurstrial world or upleft to heaven or something. but reality is a communicial world full of poor vendor who wants to sell little plastic shining stuff for some foreign exchange. so they disappoint for that and said Chinese governmetn break the culture of this place, too much commence so and so. but what about those poor villagers and vendors, ban them from better life, make them ignorant from outside, just because westner need one such place for their kindergarden style illusion? that is what Shangri-La represents, and I must say I will cheer and hat-off to anyone who destroy this word.

however, it is a very good article, thanks for you uncle Navneet

Navneet先生，

啊，香格里拉，这个世界上我最讨厌的词汇。有时我对自己说，如果我是上帝，我要做的第一件事就是禁止这个世界上所有的生命使用这个词。

我讨厌这个词不是因为这个地方很糟糕，不，不，不是的。丽江和这个地区，都是美丽的，甚至比任何人的想象都美丽。我讨厌这个词，是因为我认为这个词是西方创造的，它代表了这样一种观点——一个人有权利对另一个人拥有刻板印象，并强迫另一个人遵从他的暗示做任何事情。不，没有人拥有这样的权利。这些西方人来的丽江,深感失望,是因为在他们的幻想,他们认为他们将看到一些僧侣，极其地贫穷，但不在乎任何外面的狗屎,非常和谐等等,然后他们会觉得自己得到了救赎，逃离工业世界或者升入了天堂。但现实是一个世界，到处都是贫穷的小贩，他们想卖些闪闪发光的塑料制品来换取外汇。所以他们对此感到失望，说中国破坏了这个地方的文化，让这里过于商业化了。但是那些贫穷的村民和小贩们怎么办呢?难道不让他们过上更好的生活，让他们与世隔绝，就因为西方人需要一个这样的地方来营造他们的幼儿园风格的幻想?这就是香格里拉所代表的，我必须说，任何破坏这个词的人，我都要为他们加油打气。

然而，这是一篇很好的文章，谢谢你Navneet叔叔

 

Navneet

Yes, it is patriotic way of think but I think seeing the world as a whole is holistic.

Navneet

是的，这是一种爱国的思维方式，但我认为把世界看作一个整体是全面的。

 

Navneet

At least we Indians are driven by faith. I don't know what drives the Chinese and other apostates to such high places- perhaps the spirit of adventure which is very basic to man. Whatever be the motivation, I believe its a gift from God.

至少我们印度人是被信仰驱使的。我不知道是什么驱使中国人和其他叛教者走到这么高的地方——也许是冒险精神，这对人类来说是非常基本的。不管动机是什么，我相信这是上帝的恩赐。

 

Andrew

maybe the worship towards Motherland, a belief in people's own hands

也许是对祖国的崇拜，是对人民双手的信仰

 

Karor

Navneetji

As usual wonderful pictures and your thoughts.Yes it is the faith which takes you to any difficult place of worship. Though I am not a good climber because of age and weight I could walk on uneven 400 steps to Gurushikar in Mount Abu (Dec.2014).Your pictures of Lijiang were awesome.The small town appears to be very clean

像往常一样精彩的图片，你的想法也是如此。是的，这是带你到任何困难的敬拜地点的信心。虽然由于年龄和体重的原因，我不是一个好的攀岩者，但我可以攀爬400级不均匀的台阶，走到阿布山的古鲁什卡(2014年12月)。你给丽江拍的照片太棒了。这个小镇看起来很干净

 

Navneet

Hello Vijay,

Thanks for a wonderful comment. I would say that my thoughts came gushing forth like a stream on seeing the pictures so the credit for it all must go to Andrew although my thoughts become poems when they come in torrents.

谢谢你的精彩评论。我想说的是，当我看到这些照片时，我的思绪就像溪流一样奔涌而出，所以这一切都要归功于安德鲁。

Navneet

What an inspiring comment Bala Sir- In fact ever since I have seen the beauty and development in China, I have been toying with an idea of providing a tourism service for my country people. I have come back to China to fulfill those plans, as I wasn't making much headway sitting in India and when finally I do that inviting my Sulekha friends for the initial trips is top on my list.

Navneet

Bala先生，这是多么鼓舞人心的评论啊——事实上，自从我看到中国的美丽和发展，我就一直在考虑为我的国家人民提供旅游服务的想法。我回到中国是为了完成这些计划，因为我在印度的时候并没有取得什么进展，当我最终这么做的时候，我的首要任务就是邀请我的Sulekha朋友参加我的首发旅行。

 

Balachandran

Excellent Travelogue , Navneet. You have one more certain visitor to this Heaven in Earth! Beautiful photographs too.

很棒的游记，Navneet。在地球上的这个天堂，你又多了一位访客!美丽的照片。

 

Navneet

Thanks Andrew,

The blog is yours. It started with your adventure and you wrote the narrative very well. I have just beautified it. I am happy to note that you feel inspired. Now you write about the other pictures, about the trek and the scenery and I will make Part 3 of the blog. I picked up Shangri La from your narrative because Indians are familiar with this word. Nobody would have understood if I had written that the mountains are in Dequin County.

Navneet

Andrew，谢谢，

这篇博客是你写的。从你的冒险开始，你写得很好。我只是美化了它。我很高兴地注意到你受到了鼓舞。现在你为关于徒步旅行和风景的其他的照片写作，我将在博客的第三部分。我从你的叙述中了解到香格里拉，因为印度人很熟悉这个词。如果我写的是德奎因县的山脉，没有人会理解。

 

Navneet

Thanks Prasad Ji,

The thoughts came gushing to me when I saw these pictures.

Navneet

当我看到这些照片时，我的思绪如潮水般涌上心头。

 

Edwin

Beautiful Navneet, I could feel the chill and thill in my bones! Beautiful pictures and write up. The verses were a treat.

I went to Leh in 2013 but I really suffered from altitude sickness! That put paid to my other lofty aspirations!

Regards,

Edwin

Navneet，太美了，我能感觉到我骨头里的凉意和兴奋!图片和文字都很漂亮。这些诗句真是赏心悦目。

我在2013年去了莱镇，但是我真的有高原反应!打消了我的雄心壮志!

祝好,

Edwin

 

Navneet

Thanks Edwin. All these places look marvelous in pictures but are bone chilling, frigid. You got to be gutsy to go to such places and admire. Visiting vicariously and writing about these places is a better option.

Navneet

谢谢你，Edwin。所有这些地方在照片上看起来都很棒，但确实冰冷刺骨。你要有勇气去这样的地方欣赏美景。去这些地方拜访，写一写关于这些地方的文章是更好的选择。

 

Andrew /  / 3 yrs agoAndrew

I'm exceedingly excited to read this part. You have indeed elevated my orginial work to a much higher level. I know Mt Kailash and two adjacent lakes. We even have a brand called Kailash selling outdoor goods, a main supporter for Chinese climbers. I have been to Tibet once, having an unforgettable night at EBC and an amazing driving experience along the epic Tibet-Nepal highway, and of course a fantasic ride of the 2-nights Wuhan-Lhasa train. I am very eager to share with you some other time.

我很兴奋能读到这部分。你确实把我的组织工作提升到了一个更高的水平。我知道冈波仁齐山和两个相邻的湖泊。我们甚至有一个名为冈波仁齐的品牌，专门销售户外用品，是中国登山者的主要支持者。我去过西藏一次，在EBC度过了一个难忘的夜晚，在西藏-尼泊尔史诗般的高速公路上体验了一次令人惊叹的驾驶体验，当然还幻想着两晚的武汉-拉萨火车之旅。我很想再找个时间和你分享。

Dear NAVNEET

What a blog, such breathtakingly awesome pics.

The beauty of the place was so aptly conveyed by Andrew-

So high that you can almost touch the sky..........

you can hear the stars whisper

and you can see your thoughts fly

These thoughts conveyed it all!!!!!

I just loved your description too of the beauty of the place-We all know, who He is and the more we see His art, the more we learn to see His art in everything around us, the more blessed we feel.

So true,HE is everywhere and the beauty of HIS creation is all around us in small little things. Just experiencing it makes us feel we have experienced HIM!!

Yes after seeing the beauty of the place I had to agree with what you said-Well, no one knows it for sure where heaven is or whether it is there or not- but many of us will contend that it is here itself ; all that you need to have is an eye to discern it.

Thanks for a lovely blog which truly brought heaven to us!!.

Wish I could go to these places. Navneet maybe in your China trip you are organising for us!!!!

Regards

亲爱的NAVNEET

这是多么棒的博客，如此令人惊叹的照片。

Andrew把这个地方的美非常准确地传达给了我们

如此之高，你几乎可以触摸到天空…

你可以听到星星的低语

你可以看到你的思想在飞翔

这些想法传达了一切!!!!!

我也很喜欢你对这个地方的美丽的描述——我们都知道他是谁，我们越了解他的杰作，我们就越能从身边的一切事物中看到他的艺术，我们就越感到幸福。

如此真实，他无处不在，他创造的美就在我们周围的小事情。只是体验一下，我们就会觉得我们已经体验过他了!!

是的，在看到这个美丽的地方后，我不得不同意你说的——好吧，没有人确切地知道天堂在哪里，或者它是否在那里——但是我们很多人会说天堂本身就在这里;你所需要的只是一只眼睛来辨别它。

感谢一个真正给我们带来天堂的可爱博客!!

真希望我能去这些地方。也许就在你为我们组织的中国之旅中!!!!

祝好

 

Divya V

I love the mountains, hence your blog! Thanks to Andrew for the amazing pics!

There is a certain sense of humbleness and tranquility that comes from conquering (?) mountains! I have been on a few hikes around the globe.. & I have loved it for various reasons..Some being nature, the social'ness, the endurance etc.. the I also also taken to hiking Tirupathi and Vaishno Devi, more for the being with family or friends and I have realised that the religious fevour of a group is indeed infectious! There is a certain vibration you get by praying in a group (I have felt it at aarthi at haridwar, the sabarimalai bhajans in chennai, at vaishno devi when despite waiting in the iced corridor with our legs frozen, we still endured!) Kailaash Manasarovar is on my list too.. someday soon may be..

我爱山，因此也喜欢你的博客!感谢Andrew的精彩照片!

征服高山有一种谦卑和宁静的感觉!我在世界各地徒步旅行过几次。我喜欢它有很多原因…有些是天性、社会性、忍耐力等。我还去Tirupathi和Vaishno Devi徒步旅行过，更多的是为了与家人或朋友在一起，我已经意识到一个团体的宗教仪式确实具有传染性!在一群人中祈祷会有一种震撼(我曾在赫尔德瓦尔的aarthi，金奈的sabarimalai bhajans和vaishno devi的vaishno devi感受到这种震撼，尽管我们的腿在冰封的走廊里被冻住了，但我们仍然忍受着!)冈波仁齐山也在我的清单上。也许不久的某一天我也将成行…

Hello Divya,

For a person who loves mountains, its altogether a different feeling when he/she goes their. It's a kind of pilgrimage even when he/she is not visiting a shrine. The very motive behind making the temples high on the hills by our ancestors was perhaps to seek oneness with Him and that is exactly what the devotees find when they reach the temples and pay obeisance.

你好迪,

对于一个爱山的人来说，当他/她去山的时候，感觉完全不同。这是一种朝圣，即使他/她没有参拜神社。我们祖先把庙宇建在高山上的真正动机可能是为了寻求天人合一，而这正是信徒们到达庙宇膜拜时体会到的。

Navneet, great pictures . Last year my SIL and her husband went to Kailash -Mansarovar. It was sheer devotion that moved them, They went from the Nepal side . I don't think I will be able to make the trip because religious devotion is not my cup of te I love nature but will not move myself to make such trips.a. s

Navneet，很棒的照片。去年，我的姑姐和她的丈夫去了冈波仁齐。他们从尼泊尔方面出发，他们是出于纯粹的热爱。我想我去不了，因为宗教信仰不是我的爱好，我热爱大自然，但我不愿去做这样的旅行。

Well Balaji, I really marvel the devotion of the people who are driven by faith, like they might be wondering at my lack of it but people crawling to temples is amazing display of faith. There is little difference between them and those beheading people in the name of religion except that their goals are different.

Bala先生，我真的很佩服那些被信仰驱使的人们的奉献精神，他们可能会对我缺乏热情感到好奇，但是人们爬行到寺庙里是对信仰的惊人展示。他们和那些被以宗教名义砍头的人没什么区别，只是目标不同而已。
