Rose early – hearty breakfast and then…
Either Hari or Ming drew us a map of the walk to Kafalgari, which we were about to undertake that morning.
…off on another short walk for circa 2 km, circa two hours, through Kafalgari Village and accompanying flora and fauna.
Rest up for the rest of the morning (Janie wants another go at bagh-chal, unusually). Lightish lunch of Nepalese style. Spent afternoon relaxing around (but not in) the pool.
Early supper of a chilled tomato (almost gazpacho) soup, beef and fresh vegetables followed by banana thing. Quick game of bagh- chal with Romie before early night.
One abiding memory of the stunning Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge was the rather set, almost regimented way of the place. The staff seemed most put out that Janie didn’t want to dine sitting around a large table with all the other guests, because “that’s the way we do things around here”.
In some ways, I think we “mended” with the in-house team through learning bagh-chal. I have my bagh-chal somewhere at the flat still, probably under the bed. I expect Janie would be horrified at the thought of having a go at the game again, 25 years later. She’s not a great lover of those sorts of games.
You can see all the pictures from that lovely day on the Flickr album linked here and below.
