Pokhara Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I had not intended updating this again until my return from the "village" experience. However, was just such an interesting day that I felt it warranted another entry.

I left my curtains open last night in the hope I would awake to another stunning view of the mountains. I was disappointed to see low cloud cover and not even a gl...

Pokara is a lovely place, the guesthouse we stayed in was recommended to us by Mary Claire and Matthew and it was so nice we ended up staying there most of the time and not doing any sigfhtseeing. We post a package home and saw the lakeside but other than that we watched alot of HBO, Startmovies and AXN on the tv in the room. We ate in some nice...

Pokhara was beautiful. It was everything I had thought Nepal would be before we arrived, and everything that Kathmandu was not. Where Kathmandu was dirty and polluted, Pokhara was fresh, clear and open. It sat at the base of a valley on the edge of a lake, surrounded by a mountain range. On a perfectly clear day the snow-capped Himalayas appeare...

So... its been a while since I wrote last. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to everyone! I wish you all the best in 2009! I have been in Pokhara for 2 weeks now volunteering and living in a Children's home. It is not an orphannage but it is designed to give children from Mustang a better education than they would receive living at home. Musta...

Wow, I must update this soon or else I will have forgotten all about it...We left the idyllic village of munji and took off to the ice lake, a whooping 1200m higher, to then come back down 1000m. This is meant to be "acclimatation". It was possibly the hardest day of the trek, and one of the most beautiful. Clear skies, great views of Annapurna ...

Dzis budziki dopadly nas juz o 5 rano, niestety trzeba bylo wstac na autobus do Pakhary. Szybko sie spakowalismy i pieszo doszlismy do pobliskiego dworca, choc chetnych do podwiezienia nie brakowalo mimo wczesnej pory. Autobus z pomoca sprzedawcy batonikow znalezlismy szybko, rzeczywiscie byl to autobus turystyczny jak nas wczesniej zapewniano (...

here is my Facts About Nepal report! Most Shocking T-Shirt I saw: Besides Britney, Avril and lots of pro weed t-shirts (marijuana plants were abundant in the Annapurna trek)...I saw several Chris Benoit t-shirts (he is the WWF wrestler who killed wife and kids last year. Saw many WWF t-shirts. That's where the Song Came From! The first time i he...

Let me make something clear: I love Nepal. What a great country, what great people. When planning our movements through Northern India both Clint and I were quite excited by the short distance between Varanasi and Nepal. It was one of those things that never seemed like it was going to happen... until it did. An overnight train ride and a bus tr...

Although I did keep a daily recording of our 21 days trekking in the Annapurna area, a mere copying of that may bore and confuse people who have never been to the region. So instead of listing what we have done from day to day, I will try to give a general picture, using one of the most useful tools I've learned from graduate school: bullets.:) ...

A semi spur-of-the-moment decision left us at the start of the 250 km walk round the "Annapurna Massif". Trekking is a popular activity in Nepal amongst tourists, so we decided we'd best have a go, and chose the Annapurna Circuit as it sounded like a good introduction to trekking. The Nepalese have introduced a new system whereby you have to tak...
