Hiking in Petra - Al Khazneh / Treasury.

10th November 2014

Petra, Jordan - A family trip, but nonetheless was a good family trip, simply because I get to hike the beautiful Petra.

Al-Khazneh / Treasury : My first thought of this place was a place to collect taxes! Simply because the route to the Treasury was long bin the Siq. At the end of the Siq, you will come upon this beautiful building right in front of you big as life! Naturally, you are expected to pay some form of payment for using the Siq route! But I was wrong hehe! According to our guide, the Treasury is a tomb for the high ranking socialite back then. Some say that the Treasury was actually used by the Pharaohs to hide their treasures while some believed it is used as a temple.

Petra is used to connect traders from as far as the middle east and the Mediterranean and the main meeting point to Egypt.

The Nabateans carved Petra and it has since then become the most beautiful places to visit before you die and I was lucky to be given the chance to visit this place.

Here are some pictures from Petra:

It has been a while since my last post. And I will not stop on Petra. I still have alot to write about Jordan. But for now I have to post this one.

Lovin' this pic of oranges and promagenades. They are so huge! Till my next post!

I still think I should continue to blog. So this post, is the 1st for 2018.

Kathmandu, Nepal

This will be my entry on Kathmandu. The perks of having a travel journal. You write it down. Close the book. Open it again few months later, you will remember the places you have visited. Even the tiniest detail that you probably have forgotten! It has been a few months since my last trip to Nepal, and it seemed like its been too long. Reading back on the notes, I think it is high time to me to transfer everything down here, and probably leave the itsy-bitsy detail in my book. It was my first visit to Nepal, and I certainly hope it will not be the last. Our first day setting foot in Nepal was Kathmandu. The busy streets, the locals,hikers, tourists, bikes, cars and the dusty roads is exactly what I've pictured prior setting foot here. Experiencing it on the other hand is another story. Wee morning in Kathmandu. I love how the mornings here is chilly in March and before the roads get all dusty and warm, it is then the city comes to life! The colorful and pre...
