ok, it wasn't quite the religious experience, but watching the himalayas slowly take shape in the foggy sunrise wasn't bad though140 views

this was my favorite place in pokhara. we went there every day. sit in the sun by the lake, surrounded by the annapurna mountains, drink wine, sip chai, hang out.. 125 views

the bats were fascinating, but we were still freaked out & refused to go any further. here, when we actually reached daylight, we started laughing hysterically, insanely hysterically. fun experience in retrospect104 views

the 2nd and last of our cave experiences. this one was actually really interesting and worth the excruciating process. the cave was deep down and pitch dark. we had one lamp with us, which barely shed enough light for one person to walk, let alone 4.92 views

so cold in Pokhara too. i liked the open fireplaces they have in nepal, you can sit around them (instead of the fireplace being stuck in one corner of the room)85 views
