solo hiking in nara | summer nature getaway
[Music] That’s [Music] So, I’m heading back down because I’m actually going the wrong way. So, I started at the wrong spot. [Music] through. [Music] Hey [Music] [Music] [Music] I’m currently an hour and 11 minutes in, 3.53 mi and 1,16 ft elevation gain. Right now, I’m heading downhill. As you can see, I just came from up there. I’m about halfway. I’ve only seen like four people total, which is kind of crazy. This is so close to Nara Park. It’s really nice cuz the trail is mostly shady, so it’s pretty cool actually. It’s not as hot as I was expecting. Fingers crossed it stays that way. There’s this stream down there. Really pretty. And all the different trees are so pretty. Like I’m sweating so much. I was smart and I brought a towel this time because every time I go hiking I end up sweating so much more than I expected. This hike is has actually been kind of like I don’t know. It’s like easy but hard. Oh, there’s a rest stop up ahead. So, I’m going to get out my snacks. I’m going to eat them while I walk. [Applause] got some candy because my mom just visited me. So, she brought me some stuff in America. But I have my little baggie of candy. Nerd gummy clusters and these Trader Joe’s sweeties. But eat these while we walk. Let’s go. We’re right here. So, I’m going to go see this waterfall this way. Look how pretty this is. [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] I have I have 1.29 miles left and I’m getting like kind of tired. Everything kind of looks the same and it’s really really pretty. Don’t get me wrong. Like this is really pretty. I’m like trying to push through cuz I still kind of have a little bit to go. Like it doesn’t sound like that much, but you can kind of see on the map there’s still kind of a long way to go. I’m trying to like change my music and think about stuff, but I’m getting really tired right now and I’m getting really really hungry. Beware of snakes. I’m so glad I haven’t seen a snake. Still need to get a bear bell, too. Um, I still need to invest in some hiking shorts because right now I’m just in like running shorts and this tank top. When I’m out in the sun like this, it’s really hot. I can feel it coming up from the rocks. I was just getting a little bored, so I thought I’d talk to you guys. Um, I think I’ve passed by like 10 people maybe out of the whole thing, which is kind of crazy. So, this is what I mean by it’s kind of boring is that it’s the same like loop around and you kind of just like go like this all the way down. And the waterfall was so pretty. I haven’t really seen that many waterfalls in Japan. I think that was like my third waterfall maybe overall. And it was funny seeing that guy um laying down just like taking a nap there. It’s really cool cuz there’s so many different hiking paths and trails that you can go on. And I noticed actually I’ve seen a lot more people come towards me. So going the opposite way, then going this way around the loop. You can kind of see. So up ahead, it’s going to curve around that way. And I don’t know, it’s hard to see for you guys, but on camera, but there’s a loop that goes that way. So it’s just like walking a bunch of loops. One thing I will say though is that there are a lot of bugs here. That sounds kind of stupid, but like there’s so many bugs and I’ve been spraying bug spray all over myself and they’re still like flying at me. So yeah, going to push through and hopefully if I finish in time, there’s this Omud Ice place that me and my friends ate at when we came here last year and it was so good. Like we constantly talk about it. So, I really hope I have time to go there before they close, cuz they close at 400 p.m. It’s currently 1:21 p.m. Hopefully, I will get there in time. [Music] Look at how cool this tree is. [Music] your life. [Music] [Music] back home now and I’m having the spicy. It’s my favorite one. It’s this lemon. It’s like a lemon slice in it. It’s so bad. It’s just so hot right now. [Music] I’m about to take a bath. And I got this from Loft the other day. I’m hoping that I get the crab one. [Music] Oh my gosh, what is this? So cute. I thought the bath bomb was going to be shaped as like this, but
hello everyone 😀
I spontaneously decided to do this hike and I think it was worth it. Definitely more strenuous than I was expecting but I think I needed to getaway from kyoto and just take this day trip to nara and be in nature
