A few years ago in Ireland bought Lonely Planet English version of the Nepal ", however, has no chance to go to Nepal, the original plan of Egypt trip last moment was accompanied by the CityGuide exit, scheduled flight is cancelled, then booking your flight times and prices are not very satisfactory.
Once again, verify that the plan did not change fast, a few days later I came to Nepal.Nepal, a mysterious, beautiful and poor place, leaving a few centuries ago, the ancient city of numerous natural scenery of the countryside, the magnificent snow-capped mountains towering, full of religious atmosphere of life, I'm excited to come into this world the young Republic.
≪script> [/code] one enjoyment of Pokhara, Vogue
Pokhara (Pokhare) to mountain climbing and hiking and other outdoor sports base is located in the point about 200 km of Kathmandu, the population of about 10 million people, is one of the main tourist cities in Nepal.
30 years ago and American tourists discover Pokhara, from here a hippy.We came all the way to bump around Pokhara, coach station crumbling of dirt roads, let we question this is Pokhara.
Jiaoyangsihuo weather, hotel sent to pick our taxi driver found us, immediately jumped on a taxi all the way with our peers in Chile and Mexico had already disappeared in 2 of our sight.Live Hotel signboards English and Japanese at the callout, and watched a bit under the weather, on the road often can see batches of dressing up weird Asian people, from the language recognized Japan tourist, later discovered that many of the Pokhara hotel are English and Japanese at the callout, is not surprising.
Ha'afeva Lake (Phewa Lake) is the second largest lake in Nepal, you can take a boat on the Lake, enjoy the snowy mountain landscape.
We spend 350 rupee rent a wooden himself rowed to the Lake, enjoy 3 hours of play. Some tourists is hiring local boatmen rowing, or only to a small island in the Lake. In fact, they are more interesting, although I Division is not good, but cost Siwa boating fun only experience may feel.In the Lake there is a small island, the island has Varahi temples, is a second layer of Hindu temples, many Christians pilgrims to the island, we draw on the shore of the island, but no login.
Some European and American kayaking enthusiasts comfortable driving in the Lake, we enjoy the beautiful landscape and a run away in a quiet, this day is easy.Located on the shore of the mountain ha'afeva Hunan is world peace Tower (World Peace Pagoda), is a Buddhist White Tower.
On the mountain, commanding a panoramic view of ornamental Pokhara, Panorama, ha'afeva Lake is also a good place to view of snowy mountains. In the evening you can see the lights of the pagoda, is a landmark building in Pokhara. See home yee did not mean that I also had to be dropped.Neither the Lakeside or Damside all over the shop, money exchange, US dollar, euro, pound sterling, the renminbi and other currencies can be exchanged into Nepal rupees, don't have to worry about currency exchange.
We also experienced a US dollar exchange rate with Nepal rupees gradually rising prices, from Kathmandu 1 RS 75 dollars, 1 dollar, and then later 78 rupee dollar exchange 80 rupees, several days of effort lost thousands of rupees.Pokhara has many Tibetans opened shops sell Tibetan carpets, silver and jewellery, etc., we would like to look at a Tibetan village in Nepal, simply make the trip to the Southwest 5 km Damside Tashiling Tibetan village.
Rows of flat side-by-side, several Tibetan women sitting at the gate to go with the Rosary, mouth meditation with the Scriptures. The street almost do not see a pedestrian, when we walked back to the village of disappointment, Lama Temple side saw several Lamas and local kids playing basketball, we sat on the ground to see them play.Home yee has been worried about "terrorists" hurt us, and we have been afraid to speak Chinese.
There was a stall of Tibetan women, first with the "Hello" and we greet, look we ignored, after say ni chi ha ko nn (Japanese Hello), Hello (English you good), but we have been ignored, her amazing eyes, obviously, these are what the person is an alien, is it?Pokhara in addition to being able to taste the authentic Nepal restaurant, you can eat into India, China, Japan, Italy, France and other countries ' food, meet travellers from around the world.
We almost eat all the Lakeside main street restaurant, to try a variety of dishes, later discovered Pokhara steak is fairly good, eat steak almost every day, thoroughly corrupt.Enjoy the sunrise and sunset the Himalayas is a very popular is the best viewing location Pokhara Sandy songs live in the Northwest (Sarangkot), 1592 metres above sea level, in the small hills have many viewing platform for visitors to watch the snow mountain Sunrise and sunset.
We didn't go to the end, this may be to us once again to leave a pretext for Nepal.In the North of Pokhara, Himalayas, unbroken snow like barrier exists where fish tail peak, Pico Ana PMG and so few mountain near at hand, the weather was fine, in Pokhara every corner you can see the magnificence of the snow, especially fish, like everywhere, looked up and visible sharp as a knife.
In Pokhara travel umbrella air tour is an exciting outdoor sports, umbrella can rise to 2500-3000 meters above sea level, close to the Himalayas to a closer watch snow mountain scenery, home to me "to get him to play with the umbrella has become bitter, he said: next time
Directly to the Pokhara enjoy playing.The trip to the Pokhara North, Binde Basini Temple Bazaar area is inhabited areas of the local residents, street no Lakeside clean and tidy, with many footpaths, various shops, the driver told me it was the Centre of Pokhara.
We got to the top of the Hill, you can clearly see the fishtail peak is covered with snow all the year. It is said that this is the best Temple Pokhara, many people are out to the whole family, see family worship in the temple front, I also told them to stay in the memory.Mahendrapul South Hills has a great Lama Temple, standing there can overlook Pokhara, towering snow-capped mountains.
We took care of to the topmost main hall, see a European and American girl and a group of monks who sit together to talk, we just photography, indifferent. Maximum sentence of Hello Hello.I am in the streets, xuejiao and home Yee, a man active and I greet, we talked, know I come from China, starting with Chinese and I talked, he called Feroz, his Chinese name is high, then simply invited me to visit his REPAs Mina scarf shop, his friends, he said that they came from Indian Kashmir, but they don't like India.
Then I put xuejiao and Yee-also called into his shop, all hukan, his Chinese are studied with Chinese tourists, he especially likes China tours, each is crazy to buy something, he said that they pay no more than two thousand rupees, they all think Chinese people is very rich, I smiled and said: I am a PO ' nigga, attracted all of laughter.

II. in-depth peculiar Mong National ParkStrange Mong National Park (Chitwan National Park) is located 150 km southwest of Kathmandu is the world's cultural heritage.
We have just under coach, taking over the business of the group, there is a man in the crowd shouted to me: "Chinese?", he is our reservation staff at the camp, we'll pick.Jump on that one converted convertible jeeps, crazy bounced down the rough dirt track going to the residence, and our develepoment of Chile and Mexico 2 passengers ride in a convertible jeeps also sped up, once again we are very excited to meet, they desperately waving at us, but he didn't last long, their car out soon broke down.
Our car was stopped to the rescue, after a while it will not boot, they had 2 people on the car, they live with us in a camp.
Roadside are ordinary dwellings, but also from time to time of an ox. Sauraha is peculiar Mong National Park's perimeter, there are many hotels that offer unique Mong National Park onlyStep, expedition, canoeing, cycling, cross-country, like outdoor activities.Strange Mong National Park has 43 different mammals, 450 different birds, 67 different butterflies.
Here is a part of the Royal hunting area, jungle zone has developed a vast garden, untapped area in 1964 as a national park. The park covers an area of 540 sq km, to the world's endangered rhinoceros horn, and Bangladesh is famous for its Tigers and is also protected animal park.Take the narrow canoe along the Rapti River Watch wading birds, sat long than look so comfortable, so long as the body was swaying, shaking on both sides of the vessel, always have a sense of security, but still very interesting.
Especially in the river running half way, several head great crocodile appears on our side, xuejiao Wizard to quickly leave, I also laugh her timid, in fact, I was very nervous, but this time the canoe trip is full of excitement.The water clarity, see countless Egret, Mandarin Duck, there are many unknown waterbirds, Wizard continually refer to us, he has a pair of clairvoyance, it reminded us very far.
Strange Mong National Park established 2.2 million residents move out of the National Park, you can see the river of the North Shore residence of some houses, and a handful of villagers in the laundry in the River.National Park of the ticketing booth makeshift only a small Pavilion, not look do not know is the ticket office.
The park surrounding nor asphalted road, all the dirt track, a military stationed here. Think of the domestic area, a scenic area is convenient asphalted road, viaducts, ropeway, there are hotels and nightclubs. We really need a kind of natural environment?Because of the number of visitors and the wizard in the jungle hikes (Jungle Walks), was killed by accident, rhinoceros horn, jungle hikes are generally 2 Wizard, with 1.5 metre-long wooden sticks, an open another collection team.
Canoe to the Bank, the wizard stops to tell our considerations: If you encounter a Bengal tiger attack, trying to run along the River, after which they are responsible; if you encounter a single Rhinoceros attacks that could immediately climbed up a tree, not climbed to run around the S-shaped, roofing Rhino will only run straight up, does not turn.Was really a bit nervous, I've been reminded xuejiao and home Yee, follow the wizard steps.
Not far, the wizard at the time that it was Tiger footprints, a little while he's in for Rhino droppings, everyone excited and scared, those wild beasts wasn't fooling, 2 2 may not stick guns.Now is the dry season, a winding dirt roads on both sides of the weeds are burned, the thought is on fire, vision also has broad, then this might be for the safety of visitors, if lurking in the weeds and feverishly drinking one or two only carnivorous cat, we can have their breakfast.
The wizard has found a tree of monkeys in a walk, it saw we stopped after, very fit we take pictures.
Take over an hour has finally seen the other Europe walking team, we soon exceeded them. We went out of the lane, climb a lookout booth, two Taiwan women up, their Wizard see we immediately and they said: two Chinese people, Taiwan woman looked at us with a grain of salt, said that the Chinese people? we said was that they face surprise, I do not know the meaning of them.We do not select a buggy jungle adventure (Jungle Drives), environmental destruction, are not very expensive.
We came to see the elephant bathing Rapti River (Elephant Bathing), many onlookers, several European and American tourists will enjoy sitting beside the point where the breakfast. Gentle teacher took a bath in the brush to the elephant, the elephant nose and ears of wrinkle skin wash white, this may not be the elephant the unwilling.An American girl experience, she climbs on the back of the elephant, the elephant ' standing on an elephant's back, with the gentle sound of crying, elephants after Jet suck to girls, girl was caught cold River, this shower shouting is certainly very crisp.
Soon the girls once again accept the elephant-shower, she screams have not disappeared, even more exciting came, gentle teacher gave elephant elephants quickly into the directive, the river bed, the elephant and the girl fell into the water, they swim to elephant once again climbed the elephant's back. Repeated toss a few times, girls exhausted ashore.Riding the elephant adventure (Elephant Safari) is a peculiar Mong National Park's most popular activities of an experience, we are about 3 p.m. participate in this activity.
3 to 4 people riding an elephant, a larger block home Yee, plus I and xuejiao, wherein the other person. Forest elephants as Monster, to the US security safeguards, predators would not dare to mess with it.After a dozen Kung Fu see elephant carrying dozens of people pouring into the jungle, watching as Cardiff dark skin, there is an elephant skin scars, resembling to life, and an elephant has to work hard, how many there are snacks.
We rode an elephant is a bit naughty, loitered, occasionally with the nose pulled some tree branches or roadside grass, like Steve Stern used hook beat elephants.Go for a long time didn't see anything large animals, just see some birds, woodpeckers, Phoenix, monkeys, deer and other animals.
In order for our animals at close range, like a husband sometimes let the elephant to cut corners, elephant effortless put some branches give us open snapped, I think this is in fact in the destruction of nature. But we are bitter, run through the jungle, we have to cross in the air everywhere beware of branches, more than my leg was the branches of the scratches.Like what husband suddenly found, undertone of shouting, turned out to be a roofing Rhinoceros, elephant eating grass slowly went into it, then there are those like husband also found that few elephants start huddling over, rhino-horn may be accustomed to people ride like to watch it, or is it reassuring to eat grass, later discovered so many elephants turned it around, start rhino-horn urgent, last desperate Winkie, simply head nor eat grass.
Everybody crazy after leaving a gas, roofing also solutions for rhinosFree.When George v and his son, Prince of Wales in 1911, 11 days in strange Mong National Park only Bengal tiger hunt 39 and 18 are only visible when the rhinoceros horn, wildlife.
But now number less than single Rhinoceros 600 only, Bengal tiger in less than 90 only to see Bengal tiger only deep jungle luck.The night have been bleating of waking, roof first monkey cry, soon led to the roar of the dog, then alerted the elephant, the elephant moan a few sound is quiet a lot.
In the dark of night, and there was no electricity, no one is afraid to go out. Mosquitoes and ants these miniature animal harassment also, large animals of harassment we also untouchable.In the evening we take a jeep to the Town Center at Roadster Tharu dance (Tharu Dance), a town some hilarious, some shops, Internet Cafe, not like we live in camps so quiet.
Tharu dance is a traditional folk dance, dance club is very interesting, actor side jump side pounding sticks, and a man dressed as Peacock looks to drink water and wings from the members of applause.See them wearing shoes, shoes, slippers, used in a wide range, then take a look at this performance field, airless, rough wooden stools, there are here entirely generators lighting, but actors put performance, moving.
Finally volition tipping time, India visitors leave promptly, and American tourists start heading to tip a bin tipping, we each paid the tip.【 Information desk 】 visitor centre in the town near the Rapti River Sauraha.

Third, the Himalayan Valley raftingIn the hotel's top floor breakfast, eating grilled little paste of fried eggs, toast and drink the tea, will be Nepal-style breakfast, we came to Kathmandu on the second day.
One of the men in suits and I say hello and he let me fill out the registration form of the hotel, I began to think he is the owner, when he began to fill my self-introduction, we exchanged business cards, he called Anjan, is a travel manager of the company.Anjan recommended me to Nepal's attractions, look I have a Lonely Planet Nepal, he read a few pages, continue to sell their itinerary.
He lists a 15-day plan, first in Kathmandu, and then go to other places, we do not have an immediate answer, but a visit to his company. I and home Yee and xuejiao carefully study the final we not join their itinerary, so too passive, we go rafting, playing a ring then back to Kathmandu.Rafting, mountain climbing and hiking originally did not all plans, because it is a leisure trip, I did not like most people that wear trousers and winning, suganyi only emergency underwear wearing casual shoes and jeans, plus an emergency clothing.
Been xuejiao and home Yee, good criticism in I took suganyi, we go to the outdoor store bought and speedy drying pants and sandals.The next day early to coach station, this is a very old bus, backpack onto the car roof.
Car front row is 2, the rest of the local people are Europe and backpackers, we sat in the last row. Bus departure late-than-expected half an hour, we also know that Nepal's sense of time is not very strong, we handled.Big bus out soon, somehow stopped on the roadside, the stop is 15 minutes.
Every town is going to get off the co-pilot to roadside checkpoints paying cover traffic chapter, checkpoints are very simple, basic is a glass of small Pavilion or a small house, which is equivalent to a high speed road toll. At best on the Expressway and national highway nearly villages, Nepal has civil war road nursing also can not keep up.The car all the way along the Prithvi Highway mad madness, I also repeatedly bouncing.
Look out the window, opposite came car is full, there's the roof also sat on the roof, there are also tied to the sheep. You can see Cliff limpid River, speed very quickly, very charming SCEN.In a small town of rest, there's a free market, road to selling all kinds of vegetables, rice, dried fish, and other agricultural products, and a handful of villagers in procurement, dry fish smell some unpleasant, I immediately dodged.
Here is a long distance bus station, Europe and the rest of tourists Basic is sitting at the roadside drinking coffee. Locals eating a snack, soybeans and other crops with various spices mixing in a paper bag, eat in mouth very crisp.With the car's a pretty small beauty cream looks very intoxicated, find me shoot her eyes looked at me in amazement.
Distance several people around a table in playing with assortedWell, I'm curious about the past, is a game similar to billiards, play with 4 personal, smooth surface with talcum powder, blows and white two circular pieces into the side of the estuary.Front of local passengers are up and down along the way, only we back foreign tourists not to drift is going to get off at Pokhara, no.
I do not know where we were in the front of one local and one foreigner, xuejiao found our backpack from the roof was unloaded to the roadside, a calculation time approx. from Kathmandu run more than three hours, I quickly ran off asked co-pilot, the original is to drift.Floating point of service personnel to us from the opposite side of the receipt, a very humble House, gate with Canoe, life jackets and paddles, rafting supplies, we sat in the Sun too, because there are a few players but also on the road.
Easy to arrive to wear life jackets and helmets, we walked to the housing of the River not far behind.The shore of fine sand and Sun is very hot, barefoot walk on a feeling of being cooked.
This is because Tsishuli River or the dry season, water is not deep feelings are not urgent. Wizard for everyone on the drifting skills and considerations, to follow the wizard's slogan, need each other. Wizard mentioned if you experience intense Vortex, you control the boat, may upset, how to help themselves and each other, really worried that everyone was careful listening to.In order to allow everyone to ease the tension, the wizard let people say what we each came from the United Nations drift teams from United States, Mexico, Chile, Australia, China, Nepal in six countries.
The boat can take 10, plus the wizard we are 9 persons. Wizard to arrange good seats, United States, Australia's two strong men's boat first, we arranged in three Chinese in the central part of the boat, the two ladies are arranged into a boat tail, Wizard sits in the upper portion of the boat tail command.Have just launched our first walkthrough, left, right, rowing, canoe Sprint, switch the bow everyone with good.
Boat slowly along the downstream Tsishuli River began to move, greeting the first large whirlpool, Wizard shouting at full speed, we all tried to draw, draw a number of seconds to allow us to stop. As a torrent, boat quickly ushered in a big wave, boat into a lot of water, we have become a drowned rat.The River is very cool, I think in a suganyi pants, the sun shines in the body, it'll be done.
But when you really into drifting fun, sometimes too be too flat, the heart River silent scream: let the storm some more violent. Clothes dry and wet, wet and dry, over and over again it does not matter.The passing of many by the crowd, on both sides of the villagers from the bridge, from time to time by villagers and we greet, we waved away.
Surprisingly sunny weather, I was very excited. Drifting into a gentle river shore, when we step on the mud to the shore. We are beside the river beach lunch on board the mysterious great sealed barrels was carried to the shore, there is our lunch.Sealed drums like a chest, the wizard from the inside out, I took out the shop, tableware, steel basin, bread, salad dressing, mayonnaise, strawberry sauce, canned fish, vegetables, salt, biscuits, fruits, etc, the wizard starts to get busy, as we carefully prepared sandwiches.
Indeed, looking good, tastes a bit hard to swallow, think of the wizard's hard work, think much longer road, rafting on forbearance, closed eyes ate two sandwiches.Our backpack in when we set off have been brought to the terminal of adventures, from boat to another small sealed barrels moved down, contained all of the camera, mobile phone, wallet, and other valuables, I also took out the camera hanging around in a circle.
Return found sandwich Basic are swept empty, only some vegetable salad, these people really are.Continue rafting trip, the boat has Sun was hot, can sit, Wizard to boat body splash some water cooling.
Or for a while is breathtaking waterways, is a gentle watercourses, in gentle river, the wizard that you can jump into the water for swimming, voice just landed, with the fall of sound has some beginning to dive.In addition to our three Chinese people, there is also 1 Chile girl, others are launching, home Yee suffered the temptation, and launching it, let me also launching the wizard, see them in the water are unsteady trembling when, I also fear the icy river, let the wizard how to persuade and pushed, I firmly grasp the boat, not water.
Since all Mae, launching easy, on the boat difficult, requires two people on the boat pulled together underwater lifejackets to drag, all on board were on the boat.
And so wanted to go to the boat House Yee, since home Yee throws head is relatively large, United States, Australia's two strong men have not dragged him on the boat, and the wizard has joined the drag his leg, finally dragged him, everybody laughing on the boat.Rafting Terminal is a small village, only a few families.
Our backpack has been placed on the side of the market, there are 2 persons stay here, in the Riverside camping. We want to continue on the road, waiting for the way to the village of local long distance buses.【 Floating 】

Wandering in Pokhara, after several days
The close proximity of the snow without going to the mountains on foot, I was a bit depressing. Inadvertently and xuejiao, Yee mentioned that in Nepal and India border has one of the world cultural heritage, is the founder of Buddhism in Sakyamuni's birthplace, they'd be interested in, and immediately decided that the next day we went to.View a map and information, from Pokhara to Lumbini, coach approximately 6 hours, we are toying time is 2 pm or so.
Coach station many backpackers in Lumbini's has so few that we must not think, only four passengers, did not think the line is so long, so difficult.The car has not left the Pokhara has stopped three times, each time is 10 minutes, the conductor, Assistant driving are street soliciting.
The back row of the "Eastern Mediterranean" Asian men started to stand up, he cried out, "when to start?" the driver immediately with Nepal language called a conductor and conductor said immediately.This will have no real soon, this Asian man suddenly seem Korean scolding, we didn't know he was Korea, he rushed off to argue with the conductor, the stops are so angry, I also want to get off the help he can think of Nepal, the traffic situation, or humiliation.
He called for removing the backpack conductor to give him a refund, the conductor says this ticket is bought at the ticket office, you go to the box office ...We have no sympathy at all, but Korea man sympathize coach, only a few passengers, soliciting on soliciting.
Maybe we are too good, maybe we feel very good, so sitting in the snail car, no complaints, thought about it and where is the "tourist bus" along came a number of local people, we are the car only 3 of aliens.Southbound along the highway, Siddharta have been through numerous small villages, the car stops at a roadside food stalls, a conductor told we have 15 minute breakfast time.
I go on tour, roadside soils of cream, fried with bread-like food, a rags of the children watched cream, maybe the starving.Nothing to eat, look at nor health.
Simply get on rest, chef in busy, a gorgeous floating into the car, cook with onion and blasting pot, then put a pot of lamb offal placed into the wok, fell into the pot a sheep blood, look at me really, a little nauseous.Passengers more and more, the bumpy for a long time, I also hold that gets confused with asleep, car seat, State of the roads are not good, but also didn't sleep at ease.
Then look out the window, foul, feel how useful the mask. Later a woman with a baby, and it's lovely, I asked the mother of the child, turned out to be a little boy, I make him smile.The car stopped, the conductor again is lunch time.
This is a seemingly good restaurants, we just found a table to sit down on the wall there is a simple English menu, the opposite is the text of menus, Nepal appears to have foreign visitors. No choice remain Curry with chicken for lunch, eat more, since most is Curry with chicken, I'm worried about chickens eat too much, the feather.This is a standard of Curry, chicken, Curry vegetable Curry and curry potatoes per capita of silk, the Curry Chicken and sauce poured into the rice, stir by hand and then to eat, waiter at we are foreigners, we prepared a spoon.
Tastes great, very spicy curry, eaten with a waiter to come free with rice, then come free with Curried vegetables and potato with curry, a moment came free with meals, this is what we in Nepal to eat the cheapest, the best and most memorable meal.I never thought was the afternoon drive to so many twists and turns, when the car suddenly stopped, I thought it was a technological pause, when 10 minutes, 20 minutes later, no one tells us what's going on, I get to take a look at the dozens of car a lined up alongside the road, it is said that in front of a riot, subtile see road blockades.
I do not know how long, had a car fully armed soldiers came to the forefront, and clean-up roadblocks we smooth passage.Have run 8 hours, when can reach the Lumbini, I began to have no end.
Once again, he didn't last long, auto stop, it grew dark, I go on along the long walk to the car, I once again crashed, the accident occurred at the front, a large truck collided with a car, ambulance just removed the wounded. Nepal may get used to this situation, we were all sitting at the side of the chat, I wait, this black forces'prime place, if you do not get properly, we go.When the car again to launch, I urgently asked the conductor, arrive in Lumbini, he said the car only to white Brava, on the second day, go to Lumbini.
I view a map to the white Brava for Lumbini, is just round the corner. Better than half way in. Calculate this 6 hour by car, travel a full 12 hours!, it's probably a Buddha to test us.Ask the hotel owner was informed that did not go to Lumbini in the bus, he also suggested that we do not in Lumbini accommodation in white Brava lives.
Streets are human tricycles, we found 2 cars, about good price began marching to Lumbini, I and xuejiao car, home, Yee-exclusive one car. All the way to enjoy the idyllic scenery, feel great, 22 km of the road is 2 hours, the driver was too tired to sweat, we were also very tired limps.Here is the Buddhist shrine, the third century b.c. India Peacock dynasty King Ashoka personally to Lumbini pilgrimage, and built the Nica Riva shizhu and bi Polo Watts towers, Niagara on Riva shizhu baliwen write useful prayer and date.
A.d. 403, Jin monk Faxian, a.d., the Tang monk xuanzhuang 636 are adjacent to LAN.Maybe the transportation of tourists seldom, from nearly 500 m long road to ancient group of perimeter, after a row of tourist souvenir stalls, first see a Lama Temple, far heard by sound, see dark Temple has a median pendulum
The Dalai Lama, like huge, we have not entered the temple, just outside the readability.Enter the temple group need to purchase, red brick Mayadevi Temple is very eye-catching, here also in repair, shoes into the temple, you can see the ancient ruins of a thousand years ago, and xuejiao home Yee is devout Buddhists, donate lots of money incense.
Saint pool also in clean, clear and saw a float to the surface of the turtles, probably people letting them go.A huge Linden hung with Scripture, people come to visit the shrine, the cute little squirrel should steal from the people doing the eat popcorn and other food offerings.
Home Yee and xuejiao bow down, we sat under the Bodhi tree, think and feel the Buddha about the story of the Buddha, to me it is quite strange.We walked along the dirt track straight North West Temple group, home to show a serious leg 懿, dexterity, we got 2 timing of manpower tricycles, around the nearby temple group.

Think if we hard red border, once the India police seized or repatriation, it would be a disgrace, xuejiao and home yee did not dare to take risks, I go to Nepal immigration office asking that do not need a visa to enter India India border.Still a little nervous, Nepal border line-Dutch soldiers guns at us, did not stop nor ask us, we smooth out Nepal country.
We have about 20 meters walking, came to India the country between the various cars and pedestrians is extensive, India police maintain public order. See many from India to Nepal in women and children, are holding a plastic bag, I guess should be food, they take India police not note slipped into Nepal side, no police also sushou.Really do not need a visa to enter India India, I was asked about India police, I say we just look into India, Nepal, on the return he says
I do not need a visa to be assured that we just crossed the swagger, India tour, India here waiting for clearance vehicles more, shop and Nepal have nothing different. Several with masks for roadside India police squat with strabismus at us.By the time of the pavement, feel like people like people, many rags of pedestrians, the Dervish who are caught in the crowd.
For India only like India's culture and monuments, and for India the other doesn't, maybe because of a territorial dispute between China and India, have nothing against India, poor only messy impression.Then walk is India Office of immigration, we do not want to go, pushing aside the crowd walked to the border, a India police stopped home Yee and xuejiao, he asked whether we are in India Immigration Office for a visa, and asked us from what country? think India is not very friendly relations, the family's casual said from Japan to fill in, the police never ask release, my heart is broken.
In order to avoid unexpected obstacles, we quickly slipped back to Nepal, Nepal GIS are friendly and greet us, xuejiao camera and immediately took out several Dutch soldiers took ammunition, soldiers were very happy.
Although the military, but with absolutely no India tension over there.We came to the border near a restaurant sit down to rest, milk tea beginning to appreciate the border on the coming and going of people, Nepal Army people check past various vehicles stopped many carrying a plastic bag or a bike of men, women and children is still a "smuggling" goods, while the army people don't pay attention, slid into the Nepal Army of people in the territory, nor deliberately tracking.
