    Pokhara - the first few days!

    Feb 2–5, 2025 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Beautiful Pokhara. After being in the mountains for 4 weeks, working and living a wonderful simple existence, it was time to be a tourist again!
    As with all of my first days, on day one, I walked, I got my bearings and had my orientation day. Pokhara is walkable, feels comfortable and easy to get around. The lakeside is stunning and a warning to you all, it's all about the water, mountains and sunsets!
    Tuesday, I rented a bike and attempted to cycle round the lake, silly me, I expected a little path, flat and wonderful cycle following the lake side! Forgot about the mountains in the way! I think I made it over half way up and spoke to a lovely family who told me, it was all the way up then a highway down to Pokhara! So decided to turn round and go back the same way, still a lovely cycle and great exercise.
    Too much for one footprint... Pokhara, you may have 2 Footprints, that's how special you are!    Read more

    The last days of Pokhara

    Feb 5–7, 2025 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Two separate footprints, Pokhara, that's how special you are!
    Wednesday saw me up early for a hike. I hiked uphill to the World Peace Stupa and the Pumdikot Shiva temple, it was very hot and unfortunately mainly on the road due to me not finding the lovely woodland walk! The end of each hike was worth every bit of sweat! Stunning views and beautiful structures.
    I did, however, find the woodland walk down to Pokhara which was outstandingly beautiful and deserted, there will be people reading this that would be open mouthed, it was empty, not one other person, it was so peaceful and not scary in the slightest! You know who you are 😂
    Thursday saw a nice chilled start mainly due to my lower limbs not fully working! I walked to the Annapurna Cable car and travelled in style to the Sarangkot View point and the new Ganesh statue!
    Caught up with Romeen from MTW who is at a football tournament and finally a lovely Paddle on the Phewa (Fewa) lake which I had promised myself on the very first day I set eyes on the lake!
    Pokhara is a tourist destination but it's calm, serene, friendly, beautiful and colourful. I loved every single minute of my Pokhara days!
    And now to Chitwan! And wildlife!    Read more

    Rhinotastic! Beautiful Chitwan

    Feb 7–10, 2025 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Leaving Pokhara early for the bus was sad but exciting, I was going to see some native wildlife in Chitwan National Park.
    After a long but fairly comfortable (Nepal roads to do not lend themselves well to a comfortable journey) I arrived at Sauraha which is located in the national park.
    First things first, get to hotel (beautiful place!) and then organise safari! 2 days of hikes, jeep and canoe safari booked.
    Animal sightings:
    Rhinoceros's , 2 different types of Crocodiles, spotted dear, hogs and so many amazing birds!
    Tigers and elephants - NONE
    The canoe ride was serene and beautiful with amazing birds watching opportunities. The hikes, slightly scary that we could come face to face with any of the animals at any time! Close to all of the Rhino's and the crocodiles, what amazing creatures, a wonderful experience to see them close up.
    I were fully aware that there were tigers somewhere in the park, fresh poop and wee marked their spot!
    I'm pleased I decided to come to Chitwan! The beauty of being flexible with my travels.
    Beautiful scenery and again, just go a few kilometres in a different direction and completely different scenery! Nepal continues to amaze me.    Read more

    Goodbye Nepal

    Feb 10–12, 2025 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Nepal!

    My last few days were just soaking up the last of Nepal including Dal Bhat with Tek and his family! Amazing food, no photos were taken!

    Nepal, you are a wonderful country. You are warm, kind, colourful and stunning. Your landscapes are the most diverse I've ever experienced.

    I will miss your mountains, your wonderful people and your culture.

    Here are some of my favourite photos from my 2 months, I will be back for more hiking, more tending the coffee plants and more learning the language!

    Thank you for everything, Nepal 🇳🇵♥️    Read more
