Pokhara, Nepal 24/3/08


Arrived in Pokhara after a 6.5hr bus ride through very spectacular views (including 6 crashed buses).


Pokhara is even more like an Alpine ski village. Got our first view of the Himalayas - they really do look like the pictures you see!


Wandered around town (12 miles in total) and booked ourselves a 3 day rafting trip down the Kali Gandeki river.


Hired bikes and did another 12 mile bike ride to Devi falls which were quite nice although they were a bit reduced as it's low season at the moment. Felt very smug after such excercise.
Watched a bit of a punch up between two locals in the street outside what we think is the local brothel (though it says 7/11 on the sign outside) nothing serious but quite amusing.
