My Journey To Surkhet Nepal

Recently we made an amazing tour to Surkhet Nepal to attend a marriage. We made this tour from Lucknow though most of the tour memembers stared it from Ghaziabad. As we had heard this journey would consist of 186 km plane road and around 86km hill road, we tried to start journey early, but it was 8:45 am when we left Gomti Nagar. Our Santro car was rather overloaded. One should avoid overloaded driving as much as possible. It was rather rainy morning and overall driving condit?ons were poor so we reach Rupadeah at 2 PM. ???



{This Road (Jarwal Road/Station) was so good in comparision to what we were just travelled caused me to take a photo of this road though this road is not too long and overall road from Lucknow to Nepalgunj is not good.}
???



{Jarwal Road also had a railway station, which is the nearest Railway station to Nepalgunj Nepal border. A passenger train starts from Lucknow in Early morning and arrives Jarwar Road around 8:30 a.m. From Jarwal Road (station) Nepalgunj is about 100 km to travel via on Road}
Crossing The Border: India-Nepal border is open to both sides, but people should have identity cards while traveling both sides. If you are going Nepal by any personal vehicle then you have to do following things.


1. First one will face Indian police post who will make entery of your vehicle number, driver name and licence, and how many people are crossing via this vehicle. It is free of charge though they may ask some money, but it is not needed at all.
2. One can cross border and about 400 meter there is Nepal Coustom Office who will make entery and give you some documents, which you have to carry throughout the Nepal Journey. For motorcycle charges are around 70 rupees per day and for car it is around 275 rupees per day.
3. Then one should go ahead about 3 km ahead where traffice office will provide you temporary car/motorcycle number to be used in Nepal. They will charge around 70 rupees.
4. Then one should go ahead about 1.5 km and get traffice certificate from a Yatayat. They will charge according to where you want to go.

So fullfilling formalities is time taking because all documents are not completed at one place and also they will not stop you to fullfill these formalities, but if you missed any of them may be disturbed by traffic police and army here and there in Nepal so It would be best to ask about all formalities and documents at border.

We lost about 100 minutes in fullfilling these formalities and we were tense as we were slow and have to journey on hills so we were trying to complete the journey before sunset and so I was unable to take photos as I was mainly fullfilling all formalties.

{Nice Taxi From Nepalgunj to Surkhet via Kohlapur. Fare around 200-300 rupees though not sure as just asked a local person.}
?
We reached Kolhapur chowk around 4:10 from where one road was going to Banbasa, One Surkhet, One to Kathmandu, and last one was coming from Nepalganj.

Then after travelling about 10 Km Badria Prani Udyan arrived where we have to make an entery and get a paper for further travel. Free of charge.

We were little terrified as the hills were quite high than what we were expecting and road seemed too much zigzag thought it was not so.  We were also checked at two army camps of Badaria National Park to make entery there.  We were not fully prepared for the trip as our water was finished as well as snacks and our mobiles were inactive and on hills we were unable to find any PCO and ultimately got PCO in Chinchoo (main residential area in hill area before Surkhet)

???Lastly, we reached our venue around 7 pm. We were exhausted, but warm wellcome and marriage enviroment made us energitic and we chated until late night.  The next morning I wake up early and go for hill climbing. I go for hill climbing many times and enjoyed very much.

One will see lots of beautiful locations while travelling to Surkhet such this.  Due to lack of time, we were unable to enjoy these locations fully.  I will try to travel Surkhet via bike to enjoy these locations soon.

Effect of Bar Code Scanners, X-rays, Microwave Ovens and Cell Phones on Homeopathic Remedies

Do NOT store your remedies near your microwave, near your cell phone or in a purse with your phone, etc.

Manufacturers and homeopaths are often overly cautious about what damages the subtle energy of homeopathic remedies.  This is because research into what does and doesn't affect remedies has been limited. As a result, they have frequently recommended that they shouldn't be scanned or x-rayed at airports.

Fortunately, recent research shows that airport x-rays and red barcode scanners don't have any effect on remedies.

Other things such as the emissions from mobile phones and microwave ovens do, however.  See the full article below.

Tadpole Research: Homeopathic Remedies Harmed by Mobile (Cell) Phones and Microwave Ovens
http://homeopathyplus.com.au/tadpole-research/

Would you believe it? Not only have tadpoles shown skeptical scientists that homeopathy really does work, they have also given us information on how to keep our remedies safe.

Researchers in two different countries have recently tested homeopathically prepared thyroxine, a hormone that influences body metabolism and energy, on tadpoles that were being artificially stimulated by chemical thyroxine.

Those that had a dose of potentized thyroxine added to their water did not grow as fast as those that received a placebo dose of just plain water. In other words, the potentized thyroxine cancelled out the stimulating effects of the chemical thyroxine.

Those who have experienced the effects of homeopathic remedies will not be surprised by this result. In spite of homeopathic remedies appearing to be nothing more than water, alcohol and sugar molecules when viewed under a microscope, their energetic nature can have health-changing effects when prescribed according to the ‘like treats like’ action of homeopathy.

These experiments were repeated six times with similar results over two countries.

The really interesting part for those of us who use homeopathy, is that the scientists also decided to check the effect of different electromagnetic fields had on the remedies.

For centuries it has been known that coffee, mint and camphor can sometimes antidote homeopathic remedies in sensitive people. Polluting electromagnetic radiation, however, is a relatively new phenomenon and we are still unsure of its full effects.

So, our tadpole researchers looked to see if the potentized thryoxine, when exposed to radiation from mobile (cell) phones, airport X-rays, red light barcode scanners, and microwave ovens, still had an effect on the tadpoles.

The results? Apparently it’s safe for your remedies be x-rayed at the airport, and scanned by red-light barcode scanners. The potentized thyroxine still worked after being exposed to them.

The radiation from a mobile phone, however, even when 25 cm away, destroyed the energetic nature of the potentized throxine – it could no longer slow the tadpoles rate of growth. This is information is obviously important for those of us who would like to carry remedies in our bags with a mobile phone – they can be damaged.

Early model microwave ovens with their high leakage rates also cancelled out any effects from the remedy. Unfortunately, the study did not look at the effects of more modern ovens.

So, we can all be grateful to those little tadpoles. While we are not sure why they had to be stimulated with chemical thyroxine to prove that potentized thryoxine could ‘unstimulate’ them, they have clearly provided us with other valuable information such as- don’t, under any circumstance, cook your remedy in the microwave!
