Tibetan refugee camp in Tashiling. Established in the 1960s, when hundreds of Tibetans fled instability in their home region, the Tashiling camp is now a permanent home to around 100 families. We Met some of the residents and learned how to make the popular Nepalese snack momos, which originated from Tibet and was introduced to Nepal by the refugees.
Then travelled up to a Stupa on the hill overlooking Pokhara. Such a peaceful experience. Followed by walking down thousands of steps to cross the lake by boat.Read more

We can see our next destination Landruk village across the valley. To get there we took an alternatve route than the one that was planned. It was longer but "apparently" less steep a descent and ascent. We crossed the river via a suspension bridge, then started the long trek back up a stone staircase to Landruk. The lodge was amazing , very luxurious with fantastic views whichever way you looked.

November 20 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Another beautiful sunrise over the mountains. A 2 hour walk along the ridge and then descending on a stone staircase through the wooded hillside and terraced farmland. A beautiful finish to the walk.
Back to Pokhara to pick up the rest of the luggage. Then a five-hour drive to Chitwan. Along the way, we are accompanied, in parts, by the Marsyangdi and Trishuli rivers. The road heads towards Kathmandu for about 56mi (90km) before turning south to Chitwan National Park.
Once again fabulous accomodation . An afternoon walk to the local indigenous village to watch the sunset and spot any wildlife.Read more

Safari
November 20 in Nepal ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Today we explored the Chitwan jungle. In a traditional dugout canoe made from a single tree trunk along the Rapti River.
Then on a jeep safari through Chitwan National Park. We saw several deer species, lots of birds, and the endangered one-horned rhinos but did not see the very rare Bengal tiger.

In the evening, we watched a traditional stick dance performance, an important part of Tharu culture. The dance was performed by members of the Tharu community, who use long sticks to create an engaging, energetic performance. It is believed to have originated as a means of protecting the Tharu communities from various threats, including wildlife and evil spirits, and is now a celebration of Tharu identity and a way to preserve and showcase their cultural heritage.Read more
