The bus journey took seven hours along windy bumpy roads through the foothills and valleys. When I wasn't trying to sleep or beating Steve at Carcassonne, I just watched the world go by. It didn't look too bad...
Pokhara is a lot quieter and we are pleased to be breathing cleaner air! The fumes from the traffic in Kathmandu can be quite harsh on your throat.
We've been accompanied on our trip by a guide called Dendi. He is a Sherpa and will help us not to get lost on our trek! Dendi showed us around Pokharas lakeside this afternoon. I think we will enjoy it here - it's very peaceful as it is not in the season for hiking.
Tomorrow we start a four day trek to a place called Poon Hill. From there, if the weather is clear we should have an incredible view of some of the tallest mountain peaks on planet earth! I'm very excited but a little nervous too.
I'm doing a bit of reverse catch-up on your blogging! Sounds great fun Mr K with some stunning pictures. Some people seem to be able to just sit on a hillside and the photo opportunities just queue up for them!
