Pokhra

Since yesterday afternoon I'm in Pokhra. Pokhra is a really nice relaxing town with hammocks and garden pubs. The view over lake and the mountains is magnificent. The bus ride from Kathmandu to Pokhra was fast and easy, because I took tourist bus with only tourist we never had to stop for any of the police checkpoints. In just 8 hours we arrived in Pokhra.

After a little hassle I had a free ride to a hotel. Which I did not like it was very close to damside  But still it was east lake side, from there on I walked to central lake side. Last night I stayed at Pokhra Peace Home it is a nice place with a garden and a hammock (1,80 euro). For that you get an inside bathroom. I'm the only one at the hotel but tomorrow I will move to another place little bit more basic only 100 rps (1,10 euro) but at has a very nice feeling and a meditation Hall it is called Ganden Yiga Chopen Meditation centre.    

 

Last night I saw Rens and Marjolein again I met them more then a week ago in Kathmandu.. The first Dutch people since Risikesh (so in 5 weeks). Today they went on a track to Jomson. Last night we had dinner together it was great meeting them again.

 

The coming few days I will stay in Pokhra and later on I will go to Sarnath (India) for a 10 days Vipassana course

Enjoy live!!!!!
