look at the circuit


Pokara is a lot smaller, more rural and laid back than Kathmandu. We took a cab the 2km to the lakeside part of town and after rejecting Lubbly Jubbly - a place recommended by an Italian guy Rich met in india - we soon settled on a guesthouse, a 250 ruppee a night (4$) newly painted premises on the edge of the lakeside strip on the north of Camping Chowk, towards the direction of the Chettri Sisters guesthouse. There are so many to choose from that its best to get into the area before making the decision at the bus station, tempting as it may be. We were a little nervous, wondering whether we would make it. It was going to be the longest and highest trek we would have ever done. We had the luxury of time however and decided to spend 3 days in Pokhara before setting of
The circuitfor real, to get mentally prepared. We gobbled down pizzas and steaks at Pokhara Steak House near Camping Chowk. Great taste, greater value! Probably some of the best meals of the year, we can say came from this joint.
