Barauli to Pokhara and a sunrise

Good morning. 

Good morning - turns out the camera was tilted...

Nov 29 and Nov 30 morning 
The trip from Barauli to Pokhara is short on distanc, but high on bumps and construction. 

Interesting signs - anyone else curious as to why the falling rocks are so rounded - that doesn’t really make sense. Mind you the slope angle is pretty accurate. 


There are a lot of these foot bridges that connect one side of the valley with the other. 


Reflections from our lunch spot. 


The lake at Pokhara - can’t remember the name of it...

We arrived late in the afternoon (4:30 ish) and had some time to wander a bit before visiting an organization called SASANE that helps women to get away from human trafficking. They run a number of programs - the one we visited runs a mo-mo cooking class (mo-mo’s are a Nepali specialty - a kind of dumpling) for travellers, and is in part sponsored by the tour company that is running this trip (G-Adventures). 

So my post didn’t load last night, so here is the morning update - saw another sunrise. Tone for breakfast now. There was a. It of mishap walking down from the sunrise, the rolled ankle rolled again - and then I rolled on the ground for a bit - kind of crappy - thank goodness it wasn’t at the Peace Pagoda.

Pano shot. Terraces on terraces - very meta.
