| Leaving Kathmandu for Pokhara |

We caught a
short 35 minute flight to Pokhara via Yeti Airlines. There were glimpses of the
Annapurna Range just before we landed but that’s all we saw of the high peaks
today. After checking in at the beautiful Hotel Barahi we were taken to the International Mountain Museum where there were interesting displays of mountain life, expeditions, and
natural history. There was also a Buddhist prayer room.
In the
afternoon we walked through the tourist part of Pokhara called Lakeside.
Pokhara is beautifully set in the Himalayan foothills alongside Lake Phewa It is the
second largest city in Nepal and is booming, largely because of tourism.
When Nicki and Natalie visited Pokhara they also were led on a grimy but interesting exploration of the bat caves.
