| The view from our hotel room |
A beautiful town on the edge of a lake with the Annapurna Range loomming behind. The town is full of travelers being the starting place for most treks into the region. The area just on the edge of he lake is sunny with clean, wide, tree lined streets full of vendors selling anything from fresh squeezed fruit juice to used backpacks, mountain honey, and hand crafts. The area is also full of expats who, tiered of uninspired Nepalese food, have opened a plethora of restaurants with cappuccinos, basken robins ice cream, pita and hummus...you name it we ate it...in fact that is about all we did for the four days we were there! Oh and laundry, that took four days too...did I mention electricity can never be counted on in Nepal?
The 'hamburger' as they see it at one restaurant...thin slices of ham held together with mashed potatoes
Ben's mountain man beard...20 days in the making
