Long journey (17)------Pokhara, waiting in the clouds

7 a.m. departure from Kathmandu coach punctually, the car has a lot of tourists and local people, all the way through several checkpoints, visitors don't have to get off, but Nepal people must walk through checkpoints to get again, this time there are soldiers on the bus to check luggage, occasionally ask visitors to nationality. Car on the way will be stopped to rest for a couple of times, so people feel are not very tired.

To bokhara (Pokhara) is a little too at noon, it began to rain.

Car to the station, immediately surrounding over a lot of people are found in a hotel. (Bokhara hotels are concentrated in the Lake Side and the Dam Side two parts, the best Hotel to stay in when asked which side. Lake Side compare some excitement, Dam Side quiet. We hurried choose) a Lack of family hotel Side (Rs150/room), with the hotel owner with drilling a taxi from the entanglement of others.

Afternoon stroll, met a man and a woman, two Chinese tourists, all together, and they talk a lot of five people, meant to bokhara hiking 10 days, the result here is the rainy season, the road is not good to go, the scenery is Misty look clear, had to walk to shopping and shopping.

I have no intention of walking, so don't feel too sorry, just a walk leisurely walk along the Lake, around Street Center small shops.

Shopping, you see a hotel called Blue Heaven, into the casual look.

The hotel owner took me upstairs to visit room and asked if I was Chinese? in the last few days, everybody else is first guess I is Japan or Korea, I wonder why he can suddenly see that I am a Chinese, he explained that my English pronunciation very Chinese flavor, and before that, there was a lot of Chinese tourists, the hotel's target market is China, also in China do advertising in the newspaper? Suddenly out of the hotel, and some good room looks really clean and comfortable, the view from the balcony is open, the lakes and Scenic River, just a distant snow-capped mountain was yanyanshishi cloud cover, is invisible. (Room price low season is the Rs400/room, finally I get Rs250/room) paid the deposit, I say good morning to move to.

The next morning, it's raining, we moved to Blue Heaven after they no longer Hotel, the room was really clean, we entered the room and not the others remind, that consciously take off my shoes and walk barefoot in the soft carpet.

We call a pot of tea in the room reading a book, quietly enjoy the leisure time ... (Subsequently fell ill while on the road, imagine, even the places you love the most is this hotel!)

At noon, the rain stopped, we go out and eat a big lunch and rented a bike and go towards the Dam Side ride.

This reminds me of the play before in Yangshuo, we hired a car for two people to ride a bike to go out to wander about, he's the former, I, the two bikes at least I can also point out, does not become a burden to the force, but it only has the usual single bike, I won't ride a bike and had to sit in the back seat when the burden, good thing I was not too heavy.

Sitting on the bike recoil, Breeze, singing, rocking legs, laughing and crying, indexes to the passers-by have altogether, I told the Tree doesn't matter, let them though, because we are "little things".

The Dam Side, Tree had a German pastry, expressed his gratitude to the hard pedalled.

Dam Side very quiet Hotel, there are many, but not to see tourists. Tree said four years ago he came here, a few days Dam Side side of the hotel, and see many travelers are hiding in a hotel of drug addicts, it's cheap and Nice, a lot of people in this lost here.

We will bike lock in snack store, then go to the next to the Dam (Dam), the scenery here is not particularly pretty, but very quiet, presence of Yi, from here you can walk a short distance to the top of the Hill, about three or four hours ' walk, from the hill overlooking the entire boccara.

The weather is good, now is a good time to walk, but taking into account the bike parked here, or abandoned the idea of hiking.

Next, we according to the roadmap, and cycle to a called Davis ' Fall waterfall (tickets Rs10/person), there are a lot of uniform pupils and school bus or bus pass we are in the car next to us waving compliments, I waved to them.

Near the falls, far can hear the sound of the water of a boom. This falls so strange, not previously seen in those who hung in the waterfall on the mountain, but rushed into the ground, the ordinary of a small river, here, all rushed into an abyss, I tried to search from all directions to caves, without success, to watch waterfalls ROAR down run to splash in the entrance into the water, like a thick white cotton wool, is a kind of want to lay up.

The weather is getting better and better, sky clouds almost always spread, the area alone have the snow remains the clouds.

Return, a lot of difficulty, in a moment, a Tree is sweat, so we rode a paragraph break, walked slowly, near to the Lake Side, I suddenly saw a mountain looming showed little outline, excitedly shout, so we are moving in the direction of the snowy mountains, to the local village ride to ...

In fact, in Tibet also read a lot of snow, why here to see the snow is still so excited? maybe because Tibet ground elevation is high, so the snow looks not so high, but the surrounding tough environment for people to feel the fear and desolation in snow, and snow in bokhara here, is to be looked up to see, in the green environment, the more convinced that the snow like a gentle giant, gives the endless vitality in the world ...

In the evening, we took a ferry to the islands of the Lake, from where you can

The whole l see more real, look at each position are a beautiful landscape, just far away and hidden in the snowy mountains of valiant and now, my heart can itch Sinai, but can only be issued to her case and not seeking exclamation! tomorrow morning I'll leave here, go to the birthplace of Buddha Sakyamuni------Lumbini, really hope that the next chance to see her "flesh", can see that attracted me here on the photo as beautiful scenery ...
