Pokhara/Kathmandu – This is the End, My Friend

Thanks Jim. 

A full day in Pokhara and our hotel room was unusual for us. It had a warm shower, electricity that carried on working, some WiFi, a bog that you sat on and didn’t have to put used toilet roll in a waste paper bin, comfortable beds and a telly. And the view from our bedroom window was breathtaking.


Breakfast was great.

We went up on the hotel roof for a couple of hours of sunbathing, before setting off for a walk by the lakeside up into tourist town. Lads were fishing, not catching owt, and the lake was lovely.

Heading up the bank side the views got better.

Jet uses trip advisor a fair bit and found a great restaurant. My fish cooked in sweet and sour with ginger was outstanding. Jet’s house special was good unall.

Back down to the lake and we hired a rowing boat. I posed in front of the island with an ancient temple.

Jet posed too. Lovely photo.

Earlyish night and a 5am pickup by jeep for Kathmandu. It’s a long slog but we were there before noon and had one and a half days left. The food is good if you find the right places and we ate well. On our last day we visited the Garden of Dreams and rested from the hurly burly of Kathmandu.

Returning to the hubbub Jet rested at the hotel that afternoon with a bit of a stomach bug. I went souvenir hunting. It can look like a war zone but it’s a safe city.

So that’s it my dears. Adventure over. Back to Blighty tomorrow and a jolly good time was had by all. I’ll catch you on the next trek. Namaste.

Night night.
