Last month in Pokhara, at about seven in the morning, I was leaving my room for breakfast before starting work with some students in a hotel across the street. I was thinking about whether I had enough pairs of scissors and where I put my presentation notes. So at first I didn’t look up. The night before had been stormy and drizzly, and it had been too miserable to go out and explore. So I had stayed in the room and had an early night. Yet, first thing the next morning, this is the view that greeted me. I had to go back for the camera:
There’s nothing like a little storm to clear the air first thing in the morning. And here clear air = stunning views of the Himalayans!

I suppose that is the definition of magnificence!

Thanks. Yes, Fishtail is the one for me too. Everytime I go to Pokhara, I never know if she will make herself visible for me.

Ahh, so fresh! I regret terribly not getting to Pokhara when I was in Nepal. I figured I’d get there when I did the Annapurna Circuit and now that poor circuit trek has too many roads and I’m not sure I will do it.

Yes, I am hearing that from trekkers. They are talking about opening up other routes, though its always about doing it well, which is another issue. I regret that I won’t trek at all while I am here (foot injury) but am heading to Bhutan next month by way of compensation – so that should be exciting!

I’m so jealous! Bhutan is at the very top of my (long!) list of places to go. Can’t wait to see your photos.

Robert’s just writing to you about what to do on your visit. Pokhara’s on the recommend list ;o) (although mountain views are not guaranteed.)
