Nepal

Leaving India by bus we arrived in Pokhara after two long days of travel on the local busses (where 5 hour direct bus means 10hrs and stops as often as possible). Nepal has been so refreshing with cool air and beautiful sights.....



POKHARA

Phewa Tal
World Peace Pagoda


Our first clear sky and view of the Himalayas
Making us feel lazy with our small day pack

CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK


Morning elephant safari was awesome!
Rhino spotting from the safety of our elephant

 KATHMANDU

Buddhist temple Swayambhunath

Spinning prayer wheels

 
We visited Nargarkot viewing point for a chance to see Mt.Everest, unfortunately Everest is to the right of this photo and was covered with clouds. Later the skies cleared and........
.....there is was :)

Full of Tibetans, Bodhnath (Boudha) was a much cooler place to stay than the main tourist area (Thamel) in Kathmandu. Everyone walks clockwise around the stupa (Buddhist temple) below.
