Pokhara

After the frantic and addictive energy of Kathmandu, Pokhara feels like a step back in time. The central travellers hub stretches along the eastern shores of Lake Fewa, trickling away to almost nothing in both directions. It is pre-monsoon in Pokhara- not may tourists and rain coming in bucket loads most afternoons, which means really persistent touts and business owners trying to secure the meagre season's tourist dollars.

We score a room with a balcony and settle in to watch the rainstorm cross the valley and erupt around us. Pokhara has a really nice feel about it- I think I'm gonna like it here.
