Delhi, Bhutan, Nepal & Dubai Journey Day Eleven: Kathmandu To Pokhara, Including Some Delightful Hiking Around Hill Villages, 30 March 2000

Another splendid Yak and Yeti breakfast before checkout and short flight to Pokhara.

Arrived at Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge well before lunch. Nepali style lunch, then short siesta before taking a 4 km 2 1/2 hour walk through neighbouring village Kandanidada and observing the local flora and fauna.

The village is mainly Brahman and the people very friendly. We are invited into many homes etc. Our guides are Hari and Ming. Hari teaches English to local children so is well known to the villagers.

Either Hari or Ming drew us a map of the walk we had just done:

Home just before dark for showers, spray, change and excellent dinner and learning bagh-chal (tiger and goats). Earlyish night – “Geddo zonked”.

You can see all the pictures from that lovely day on the Flickr album linked here and below.
