Ingingqi yaseManaslu

Ummandla waseManaslu owaziwa ngokuba bubutyebi obufihliweyo beHimalayas ukwingingqi esemantla embindini weNepal kwaye yindawo entle etsala abakhenkethi ngeendawo zayo ezizolileyo, iintaba ezinkulu, kunye neenkcubeko ezityebileyo. INtaba iManaslu, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiNtaba yeMimoya ngesiNgesi, yintaba enobude obuziimitha eziyi-8,163 kwaye itsala abakhenkethi kunye nabafuna uhambo olude kwihlabathi liphela. Ubuhle bendalo kunye nomxube ocacileyo wobomi bendabuko beHimalayas kwenza le ndawo ibe yindawo efanelekileyo ngokweehambo kunye nokuhlola ilizwe.

Ukuhlola kwiManaslu Region ngamava angalibalekiyo. Uhambo lweManaslu Rupina La Pass luhambo lweentsuku ezili-13 oludlula emahlathini angachukunyiswanga, amasimi aqingqiweyo kunye neelali ezikude apho umntu anombono obanzi we UManaselu kunye nezinye iintaba ezikufutshane. Ukuze kuqhutyekwe nohambo, UManaslu Trek kunye nohambo lweSekethe ye-Annapurna inokubonwa njengeentsuku ezingama-24; ineendawo ezimbini ezinkulu zokuhamba ngeenyawo kwaye inika iindlela eziphakamileyo ezinzima, iintlambo zeqhwa, kunye neendawo ezahlukeneyo zomhlaba. Uhambo olufutshane lweSekethe yaseManaslu okanye Uhambo lweManaslu Larkya La Pass ziihambo ezimfutshane ezivumela umhambi ukuba ahlole ubuhle beentaba kunye nendlela yokuphila ezolileyo yabantu bomthonyama baloo mimandla kwixesha eliphakathi.

Ummandla waseManaslu ukwayindawo etyebileyo kakhulu yenkcubeko. Lo mmandla ubamba iintlanga ezahlukeneyo, ezifana namaGurung, amaTamang, kunye namaTibet anezithethe zakudala kunye nendlela yokuphila edibene neentaba. Iindawo zokuhamba ngeenyawo zineelali ezibonelela ngethuba elikhethekileyo lokubona izindlu zemveli, iiflegi zomthandazo zivuthuza emoyeni, kunye nobomi bemihla ngemihla obungatshintshanga kangako phakathi kwezizukulwana. Abakhenkethi baya kukwazi ukunxibelelana neentsapho zasekuhlaleni, bafunde ngemisebenzi yezolimo kunye nokufuya ii-yak, kwaye bafumane umbono womoya ofudumeleyo nowokwamkela iindwendwe wabantu baseHimalaya.

IManaslu ayiphelelanga ngaphandle kwemibhiyozo. Abakhenkethi banokunandipha imibhiyozo enemibala efana I-Lhosar, uNyaka oMtsha waseTibet, kunye neminye imibhiyozo yonqulo yabemi basekuhlaleni, apho abantu basekuhlaleni badibana khona ukuze benze imithandazo, imidaniso kunye nezithethe zemveli. Abakhenkethi banokubona iimonki ziqhuba amasiko kunye neentsikelelo kwaye batyelele iimonki emgceni, nto leyo ebanika umbono womoya othatha indawo. Amava anjalo enkcubeko aphucula ixabiso lokuxhomekeka phakathi kwabantu, indalo kunye nonqulo kwiHimalayas.

I-Morning Star Treks iqinisekisa ukuba zonke iihambo kwiManaslu Region zilungelelanisa phakathi kohambo olude, intuthuzelo kunye namava enkcubeko. Abakhokeli abaqeqeshwe kakuhle kunye neqela lenkxaso baya kuhamba kwindawo enzima ngaphandle kweengozi, baqinisekise ukuba abakhenkethi bafunda iindlela zenkcubeko zasekuhlaleni, kwaye benze amava abe mnandi njengoko ekhumbuleka. Isenokuba luhambo oludlula kwiintaba, ukutyelela iilali ezizolileyo, okanye ukuthatha inxaxheba kumnyhadala onomdla, uhambo oluya kwiManaslu Region lubaluleke kakhulu ngokomoya kwaye lunemvakalelo enzulu njengoko umhambi engasoze ayilibale iHimalayas.
