Dad drives us kids to Chitwan, new way wild way through way of KotDada, mountains and the rest, wild road, berries, wild rain in hetauda, family eats fish-bhat at old place, jungle safari, dropped by dad, Sbk shows up, much work to clean leaves, hang, too high to chill, townwalk and return [Tue 2]

 Standard disclaimer: This is being written in mid-July, because that's how things came out to be. Oops.

 We knew the way to Chitwan was blocked because of a landslide, so dad decided to take us an alternative route. The oldest highway route, I forget what it was. Loved the way, so much scenery, not much traffic, very adorable. It passed through the town of KotDada and the way Bagmati river flows.

Certain sections of the road were really really bad, and it's not a good idea for small vehicles to use this way, but if that was fixed, this could legit be a good way to get to Hetauda and beyond, even come back to Chitwan with some scenery done on the way.

We got kafal and aisenlu on the way, I ate a lot this day and the following day. Including the seeds. It'll be relevant later I promise.

The group was me, sister, dad, ND and bhauju.

It rained very very heavily in Hetauda, kinda scary, but nothing untoward happened.

At Manohara everybody ate the macha-bhat meal at Bhaicha's, I got the veg meal. Dad's been going to that place for the last...thirty years, jeez long time man, since almost when he was as young as I am now.

We enquired about jungle safari and discovered they'd wait for us, so we got the tickets first, unpacked in our resort, and waited for the jeep to pick us up. Then the five of us, just us, went to see the safari. Saw many rhinos and antelops and various kinds of deer, gharial and crocodile and birds and monkey but no tigers unfortunately.

 In the evening I spent a ridiculous amount of time kelaaoing/cleaning up the leaves and the seeds. Even designed a method to speed up the separation. SBK showed up, we talked and hung out a bunch then when he was heading out he dropped us at Sauraha bajaar. We walked around but didn't go anywhere, just walked home, smoked some more and went to bed because we didn't feel like doing anything. Also we were super duper tired.
