19. Sunrise over Himalayas

Day 19.
Very early start this morning, we woke up at 3.45am to meet the lovely taxi driver from the day before. He was taking us upto Sarangkot View point about a 30min drive to see the sunrise over the Annapurna mountain range. We got to the top of the hill and walked upto a view tower, they charged us about a pound each to enter and typically Nepali it was still under construction and there was building debris scattering the whole tower. Within about 20 mins the tower was full so we did well to get a front row place. The sun comes up and hits all the mountains first turning them a gorgeous golden colour. This mountain range isn't as impressive as Everest region, but still magnificent to see them glowing. When we were up there a young lady stood next to me, glancing over I thought I recognised her and it was our friend Anna from Isreal who we met doing The Three Passes, nearly a month before and 200km away... Small world. We had a catch up with her and she explained that she had been to Annapurna Base Camp (another trek me and Grace were going to do, but got poorly) and it wasn't anywhere near as scenic as the three passes which made us feel good, as part of us felt like we were missing out being in the best trekking destination in the world and not taking full advantage. We left the viewpoint after an hour and met our Taxi driver who took us down to Wendy's juice bar for brekkie. We came back to hotel and had a nap to catch up as we were running on 3 hrs sleep. We then went for a long walk around Pokhara Lakeside and stopped off at Pokhara Disney which was literally hilarious. The most run down theme park we have ever seen, Mickey was really scary looking and the rides looked as if they could just fall to peices. We walked about 8 miles today in 35' so popped back to hotel before choosing which posh restaurant to brave.. Seemingly an everyday struggle now, we were reading that it could be as high as one in 10 chance of getting poisoning so no wonder we have both been poorly in the last 2 weeks, odds aren't in favour🤔😩😂.Læs mere
