The journey to Ama Yangri begins long before the sunrise. The roads grow narrower as Kathmandu fades behind. The vibe changes, the concrete houses slowly change into old houses of stone. The tall buildings disappears and mountain begin to appear. Villages stand quietly along the hillsides, carrying centuries of stories in their prayer wheels and stone paths.

Every step upward feels like a step closer to peace and away from the heaviness of ordinary life. The ears will finally heal, replacing the sounds of traffic by birdsong, fluttering prayer flags, and whisper of cold wind. The monastery at the top is simple, peaceful and full of prayer flags fluttering all over it. The bells echo is heard everywhere and the beauty of Ama Yangri looks best from the top. The Himalayas appear in the distance like silent guardians looking after the Helambu Region.
