Kathmandu seems nice and funky enough until you get away from it. Then you can appreciate, the clean mountain air in the countryside, especially at Pokhara in the Himalayan Mountains.
Pokhara is a beautiful lakeside town. The bus up from Kathmandu takes about eight hours to cover the 210km journey. There are plenty of guest -houses to choose from in Pokhara.The highlights of Pokhara include the Mountain Museum, and tandem paragliding from 1,000 metres. Well worth the effort if floating in the clouds appeals to you. Pokhara is situated in the northwestern corner of the Pokhara Valley, and has 190 000 inhabitants on a surface of 48 km².The etnicity consists of Bramhin, Chettri, Newar, Magar and Gurung. Natives in Pokhara are adepts of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. Pokhara also contains Tibetan refugee encampments. All over the city, you have points where you can have a look over different mountains of the Annapurna area. Pokhara is also a fall out base for many trekkings in the Annapurna area. The city lives in a subtropical climate, with moderate temperatures due to the elevation (800 - 1000m above sea level).

After a very tough time in my life, I decided to go to Nepal for a few weeks. The most amazing time I spend there was doing the Annapurna Sunctuary Trekking. Being apart from many luxuary, that I was used to, didn't feel like taking a step back. It felt like the start of a whole new beginning for me. Going back to basics and experiencing real and pure love, coming from inside. I met myself, and I'm still exploring.

Today I try to explore the other 2 lakes at Pokhara. To reach these I need to take a local bus to Begnas Bazaar which turns out to be easier that I had expected, though the 15Km trip takes 45 minutes.
Begnas is a small town, a popular spot for Nepalese, there are hire boats on the lake, but appears to be pretty much ignored by foreigners. I hike up the road from Begnas hoping for a reasonably view of the lakes and hills, but as usual the weather is hazy. When it...

He invited me in the shop, where we had a cup of tea. After a while, some other men came in, and somewhere in the conversation, they started talking about there stones that had to be delivered in different countries around the world and because of the high taxes they were charged with, they were looking...

Today, we encountered some rapids that were small enough to swim through. There was one rapid that everyone seemed to fall out of their rafts at. For a moment, the Kali Gandaki was littered with UWC students bobbing up and down in the water. Our guides, Brent and Gary, who were in kayaks, had a run for their money as they paddled around collecting everyone and returning them to their respective rafts!When the rafting was over, we had a five hour bus journey ahead of us. We made a toilet stop ...
