pokhara nepal a quick adventure in the land of the himalayas keep reading for travel tips to pokhara nepal 09 17 2017 05 28 2018 sunlitsoultribe leave a comment i was blessed to visit the land of the himalayas recently here s a detailed look at our vacation with tips for new travellers to pokhara enjoy we arrived in a quiet and cloudy kathmandu towards midnight since we were headed to pokhara on the next day s flight we picked an airbnb place that was close to the airport the first act of kindness we experienced in nepal was when we couldn t find our destination and our cab driver kindly obliged to call up buddha no not for praying the airbnb flat owner buddha to get directions we arrived in less than 10 minutes and we weren t sure which building to enter so he let us use his phone to call up buddha again buddha immediately left his apartment to show us the way and we were greeted by kriti his wife and shown our room it was nice clean and airy just what we needed after our long journey most of the airbnb reviews about buddha s place talked about their rooftop view so i did not waste any time and decided to check it out immediately the view did not disappoint the city was quiet and the air was cool and energizing and with sunrise we were greeted with a massive view of the city surrounded by beautiful hills and the sight of people going about their daily tasks over their neatly gardened rooftops kriti and buddha were kind warm and helpful in answering all our little questions and after a nice breakfast we decided to explore the area after the quietness of the night towards 10 am the city was bustling with vehicles people and activity there were lots of college students in the area and i was enamoured by how trendy people dressed kathmandu felt like a young city since we were in nepal for a short while we took the 25 minute flight to pokhara you can also choose the 7 8 hour bus journey however during monsoon season there are chances of landslides blocking your way so we decided to take the flight route we flew with yeti airlines after hearing that there are fewer delays with them compared to other domestic flights pokhara is the second largest city in nepal surrounded by endless hills the gigantic annapurna range hovering over the city and lake phewa at the helm of it the views are like beautiful live paintings we wanted to stay a little far from the city and chose the peace dragon lodge about 1100 meters atop ananda hill and right beside the famous peace pagoda we arrived at pokhara in the afternoon after being dropped at the parking lot of peace pagoda and after a 5 minute climb up an array of stone steps we finally arrived at peace dragon lodge amidst a breathtaking view we were greeted by juliette a delightful british woman who owns peace dragon and an adorable dog ps pokhara is a dog lover s heaven being surrounded by the cacophony of nature s sounds big fluffy clouds passing above us and sometimes through us and breathing the refreshing air is all any nature lover like myself could ask for for dinner i ordered the tibetan dish thukpa a delicious hot noodle soup that accompanied incredibly well with the cool breeze the next day we wanted to go to the lakeside walking past the main entrance of peace pagoda there s a pleasant one hour walk down the hill towards lake phewa that juliette explained to us in detail the scenic stone path down the hill was teeming with pretty butterflies moths foliage and sounds of birds and insects at the lakeside we took a boat ride to the main lakeside area and spotted a few monkeys on treetops you can stop by tal barahi temple but it can get pretty crowded we decided to skip this and head straight to the main lakeside area we hired a boat for a few hours by ourselves that cost us a little less than npr 700 the views from the lake of the surrounding hills are gorgeous the sound of the water hitting the boat as it waded through the lake the occasional dragonflies that went past our boat and feeling the sun hit our faces as we lay on the boat was amazingly satisfying i can say that by the end of our 4 hour lake phewa escapade i am now an expert at rowing boats haha probably not but i have learnt a thing or two by the time we were out of the lake there was a light drizzle and our growling stomachs were asking for something to munch on the lakeside is a tourist driven area so you ll find a myriad of restaurants serving food for predominantly tourists from burgers to pasta to nepalese food all being served in the same restaurant it felt like all the restaurants were having an identity crisis trying to cater to a variety of mouths what surprised me most was spotting a lot of korean and japanese restaurants in the area we don t even have that many korean places out where i live on the lakeside expect to pay at least 2000 nepali rupees or more for 2 people for food seeing that all the restaurants had the same thing to offer we walked into maya pub and restaurant and chose the special which was a thai curry yes i know but we were hungry and nepalese momos dumplings the food was good but it wasn t the local experience we d hoped for looking outside from the open balcony of the restaurant we people and dog watched haha because dogs are adorable as they strolled past trekking shops souvenir shops painting and clothes shops the area is great for shopping however if you re a tourist the prices are hiked so make sure to ask for a better rate for the rest of the evening we window shopped and looked around for a motorbike rental shop more on this below we took shelter in white rabbit coffee once it started raining a warm and plush coffee shop with an array of drinks and most importantly comfortable sofas to chill in when we decided to leave it was still raining outside and the roads were flooded we flagged the first cab we saw and thus began our journey upwards with only the car s headlights lighting our way we spotted streams of water flowing across the road when going towards peace pagoda s parking lot there s a turn uphill that needs to be made before a waterfall due to the rain that night this waterfall was in full force our cab driver having traversed through these roads before was initially a little hesitant which got me anxious but after stepping out to check it he said he could do it true to his word he managed to drive past the stones and water but as soon as he turned the car uphill it stalled and started reversing into the water i was nervous but he managed to kickstart the car and off we went uphill phew hats off to the nepalese cab drivers for being able to race their tiny cars through floods and waterfalls not for the faint hearted upon later discussion with juliette i found out that this waterfall is benign though it looked daunting at first it wasn t anything to worry about a lot of people stop their cars and bikes to wash their vehicles which i was later able to witness quite an amusing sight for a city person like myself who s used to automatic car washes nepal was definitely opening my mind and i was loving it the next day we visited peace pagoda it was built by japanese buddhist monks to promote world peace after the war they built several such pagodas around the world and one of them was here entry is free and sculptures about buddha s life story is depicted on the pagoda with descriptions the views from peace pagoda of the surrounding area is again like the rest of pokhara spectacular by afternoon we started our trek downhill towards the tibetan community from the other side of the hill there are a few different paths to go there and when we eventually found a way we had to jump and loop through walls and fences before we could get to a stone path again since it was monsoon season while walking down the hill we got caught in heavy rains we were surrounded by shrouds of grey clouds so we took shelter at a small temple beside our path the sky was getting darker and after contemplating if going uphill or downhill was our best option we decided to keep heading down by now our stone path had become a fast flowing stream covering most of the stone path aside from a few big stones my thoughts during these moments were all the possible worst case scenarios that could possibly happen to us i only hoped and prayed we didn t have an incoming landslide or worse there was only one way to go and we had to take it one step at a time making sure not to slip as we reached closer to the end of this path we spotted a few locals and school kids walking up the path we had come from phew we were on the right path and seeing them calm kept me calm too we found a waterfall right at the end of our stone path that joined the main road all the water we walked past was accumulating at this waterfall and joining the main road it was an overwhelming and thrilling experience i let a big sigh of relief once we reached the town and we took shelter at the small stalls that peppered the area in retrospect the one life lesson that i take away from this was stay calm apart from a few grocery stores there were no restaurants in sight we were soaking wet and ill equipped for the rain storm so we went to the place where we knew would have dry clothes and some warm food lakeside we saw a few buses but no cabs in the rains and approached a bus in hopes that they could direct us to a cab the bus had a few local teenagers who obliged to take us to the lakeside if we paid them the fair of a cab about 800 npr hiked up prices but we were
