AND OFF WE GO!! TO POKHARA!
The bus from Kathmandu to Nepal takes about 7 hours.
The amount of waking up, dozing off and stops are included.
I was initially worried that the bus would not make any stops as I don't know if there are any R&R area like in many of the countries I have been to AND- I was wrong. Although it is not the traditional designated area for R&R but rest assured there is.
There are 2 stops in general. One for late breakfast and the other is for a quick stop to the loo. You will meet other travelers also made their 'pit-stop' here too. Some will be queuing for the toilets, while to my surprise some vomit out their meals from the rough ride. (yes the roads are long and winding) My best advise is to sleep most of the time you are on the road.
We reached Pokhara later in the evening. The driver was quite fast and the view was much enjoyable to a certain extent. So you don't feel like sitting in the bus too long anyways with the journey through the Valleys and the village.The first sight I saw once we reached the town was the Phewa Lake!! It was a pretty cool sight knowing that you are no longer on low land. The temperature in Pokhara is cool and nice in March :)
So here are some pictures of the trip.
Till my next post - Ghandruk!
