Saturday, 16th November 2019 – Pokhara

I love the way the earth rotates. It really makes my day.

We discovered in Kathmandu that it was worth taking a tour to get a feel for the city so we did the same in Pokhara. For around £40, you can hire a care and driver for the day and do the main tourist spots of the city.


Saramkat

What better time to get up on holiday than 4.30am? We started the day by heading to the highest spot in the area to watch the sun rise over the Annapurna range.


Binda Basini Hundu Temple

I don’t know what it is about temple builders but they do like to put them on top of a hill.

The Binda Basini Hindu site is no exception That doesn’t put people off. There was a long queue for those wanting to pray at the temple .


The Bat Cave

Thee was no sign of the Caped Crusader but there were 30,000 plus bats contributing to a slippery, slimy, rocky walk in.


Mahendra Cave

A fairly boring cave.


The World Peace Pagoda

The Buddhist Peace Pagoda sits at 1,100 meters above sea level. The car park very much doesn’t. What makes it a Peace Pagoda is that no-one has the energy to do anything but sit down and reflect once they reach the top.
