After we(2 friends) decided to spend this Holi Festival(Hindu festival of colors) hiking, we picked Nagarkot-Dhulikhel as our route. That day was 22nd March 2016. Early on the morning at 7:00 Am we woke up and meet at Koteshwork, from where we were to ride public bus upto Nagarkot. Due to the festival, there were few public transportation. Reached Kamalbinayak by a bus and then we waited for next bus which will took us to Nagarkot. But we came to know that there were no bus going to Nagarkot. Hence after having talk to locals there, we decided to ride a bus which will took a different route upto Kalamasi (3km to Nagarkot). We reached there and we found another group of 3 going to Nagarkot. After a little talk they decided to hike with us. :).

If you are noticing my anger over google from the title of the post, then you are right. Yes, I am angry over Google for some of its weird decision which directly affected me on past and present.

Here goes the official statements from google After April 30, 2016, My Tracks will no longer be available. We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause My Tracks users.

Few months ago the crazy idea of cycling around country on bicycle came into my mind and now I am kind of getting prepared for it. I am designing a handlebar bag of my bicycle with help of a bag builder here at Sanepa, Kathmandu. I got sleeping bag and I am thinking of getting one pair of bicycle panniers and a tent. On the same list falls a LightWeight DSLR for taking pictorial diary of the location I would cycle through. :) So my camera needs to be light weight, durable battery and weather resistance. Besides, it needs to have decent sensor, usable fps, video capability and the possibility to upgrade lenses. And ya last but not least, it got to have reasonable price range.

I looked from Canon 1200D to Nikon D3200, Nikon D3300, and Canon 700D. 1200D is a usable camera on the range of $380(NRS 38000) but with low capacity battery and the frame per second(fps) is just 3.
