Day 5 Nuwakot

After a wonderful breakfast, we set off on our walk. There was some pretty serious uphill sections with rocky steep paths. It was very challenging for some in the group but we powered on at the front of the group. Ramesh, from our accommodation, Famous Farm, was also at the front. At one point, he told Michael to lead on. Very soon after, Michael almost stepped on a snake!!! They said it was a non-poisonous rat snake, but it certainly gave Michael a scare 😱
We could see the snow covered mountains of the Langtang Range. We got to the top, where there was Malika Temple, so we made sure to ring the bell there!! It was also the site of a former fort - Nuwakot meaning 9 forts. We then descended down steep steps ( made for people to walk up to the temple) before making our way back to to Famous Farm. Phew..🥵 a big walk & it was quite warm!
After more great food for lunch, we went back to our room for a rest - some of our other tour colleagues can talk.. a lot!!
We watched some of the others zip line down. We chose to make momos instead.
Our evening activity was sundowners. We all went in the Landcruisers up to a lookout tower. Wow.. what a drive up!! Then Gools & Thommo surprised us again with nearly a full bar of spirits, wine & we got to eat the momos which had been made in the afternoon. Very impressive! The view wasn’t great because of the smoke from fires, but it was still a very impressive location. The drive down was pretty hairy.. again! So happy that we have great drivers. We were in with Kasup again 👏🏼
We had another great dinner sitting together outside, then retired to our room for a vodka & lemonade and to look at the lights in the valley & the moon.Read more
