News of a plane crash here near Pokhara comes through to me from friends in Australia. I hadn’t heard of any news from here but I’m not watching tv of listening to the radio. All 20 plus passengers and crew were killed but they’ve been unable to identify the bodies yet.
Today I mainly prepare for my trek that starts tomorrow. I just need to buy a few things. In the afternoon I go for a wander and happen upon a Hindu wedding.
Hindu ceremonies are always full of color and fascinating ceremony. The women and young girls especially look fantastic. I’m invited in to take as many photos I like. I even get invited to the after feast but I have to get back to meet my guide for the trek. Some cheeky kids show me around. I’m slowly learning more and more about the Hindu faith. It is the most popular religion in Nepal, followed by Buddhism. The birthplace of Buddha is a town just south of here.
As I write this blog from behind a beer and popcorn, two cows just strolled past down the middle of a busy street in front of my restaurant. The traffic simple bent it’s way around them. No problem.
I start trekking tomorrow. Posting will be difficult so I can’t say when I will get news to you. My guide met me this afternoon and we have a plan for first thing tomorrow. Why do these occasions always start with an early morning? It’ll be a struggle.

let me know how the trek goes. I am thinking of something to do in June and Anapurna came up at 2.30am, but June sounds like a way to touristy time for me. Where will you be in June 🙂 Have an awesome time!!!
Ok, just goggled and June is not a good time to do the hike as its monsoon – ok, anymore suggestions where I can spend my birthday in June?
Will get back to you on that. Yes monsoons start in a few months.
