The reason it took longer than expected to reach our destination was that we were going to Trissoli. It was during our 7th semester board examinations. On the final day, we made a plan with all our friends to go on holiday. After the exam, we booked two cars. One was driven by our friend, and the other had a driver. We were a total of 16 people. In that car, there were around 6 of us traveling. As you know, the road conditions in Nepal are not good, so it took us longer than expected. The journey was long, but it didn't feel boring because the 6 of us were friends in the car, and we had great conversations while traveling. It was a wonderful experience, and I think I will cherish the moment until my last breath.
