Pokhara: dreamy lakeside town home to smoothie bowls, Or2k restaurant, paragliding, world peace pagoda, friendships and epic sunsets.
met 2 amazing girls on the windy 10 hour bus ride there and ended up hiking to see the sunrise with them, feasting at our favorite restaurant Or2k and just enjoying each other's company. I went paragliding and it was amazing just running off the side of the mountain and floating around despite just making it to land before it got messy (floating for an hour=unhappy stomach). Saw the sunset from the world peace pagoda and took a boat across the lake to enjoy the view of the town. Booked the comfy bus back( this one had air conditioning) and went on my way.
Leaving Nepal: I was incredibly sad, in Nepal I had finally lived my dream of big mountain trekking and spending time with so many other passionate hikers. The people were wonderful, the atmosphere was so vibrant and the spirit of the mountains was infectious ( and permanent as it is now tattooed on my arm, sorry mom and dad :D)
Next stop Thailand AND...drum roll please, seeing my wonderful long lost boyfriend who had been working in China for the last 6 months, couldn't think of a better meeting place! BUT first a nice 24 hour exploration in Bangkok...
