Pokhara Nepal

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.

one of the restaurants from the R&R stops - could only think of my mom who will appreciate the flowers

Phewa Lake - The lake that does not freeze
Pokhara is the last stop for hikers to get their hiking gear - me trying to strike a pose - FAIL! hehe

Well hello there Fishtail Mountain!! you look absolutely STUNNING!

Till my next post - Ghandruk!

The GAP year

happily married on the last day of 2017  Feb 2016 was the last post. Since then a lot has happened. Took a while to adjust to my new lifestyle.  Truthfully, still adjusting. Happy? Needless to say, you might not recognise me this time around from the extra extra pounds I've successfully put on. I visited this blog sometime last week and immediately thought, OMG what happened. I still think I should continue to blog. So this post, is the 1st for 2018.

Kathmandu, Nepal

This will be my entry on Kathmandu. The perks of having a travel journal. You write it down. Close the book. Open it again few months later, you will remember the places you have visited. Even the tiniest detail that you probably have forgotten! It has been a few months since my last trip to Nepal, and it seemed like its been too long. Reading back on the notes, I think it is high time to me to transfer everything down here, and probably leave the itsy-bitsy detail in my book. It was my first visit to Nepal, and I certainly hope it will not be the last. Our first day setting foot in Nepal was Kathmandu. The busy streets, the locals,hikers, tourists, bikes, cars and the dusty roads is exactly what I've pictured prior setting foot here. Experiencing it on the other hand is another story. Wee morning in Kathmandu. I love how the mornings here is chilly in March and before the roads get all dusty and warm, it is then the city comes to life! The colorful and pre...
