Farewell Pokhara

It was a brief visit, but long enough to hike to the World Peace Pagoda, stroll the shopping district in Lakeside, hike (a futile effort , it turned out) to the Baglung bus station in an attempt to get to Nayapul, sample some good restaurants and get some needed rest after our trek.

Pokhara is a nice place, on the shores of Fewa Lake.  It's cleaner, far less congested, much more quiet and with nice views to the nearby hills and mountains.

It's a pity that a politically motivated strike call influenced our decision to leave early.  But there you are.

If it wasn't on the other side of the world, I'd visit again.
