We arrived safely back from Pokhara yesterday after a harrowing 12 hour bus trip; one that's supposed to take 8 hours. There was a 'bandh' - a protest about an accident that had occurred the day before where 8 people were killed. A group of locals parked a truck across the road which attracted the police. They were negotiating for better road conditions. The road are shocking and there seem to be no road rules.
Last night we took our porters out for pizza and beer. They politely told us that our trek was extremely easy and slow. They are used to going up 6,000m to Everest Second Base Camp. Oh well, the scenery was certainly worth it.
We are doing some last minute shopping - Damien and David went off to a carpet factory and the girls are enjoying the cool breeze on a rooftop overlooking a Stupa in Bhouda.
We have included some more pictures of our trekking adventure and hope that these do justice to the amazing experience and scenery.
