ok, it wasn't quite the religious experience, but watching the himalayas slowly take shape in the foggy sunrise wasn't bad thoughMar 09, 2008

disappointingly, it was much less than that. i blamed it on Gunung Bromo in indonesia, this paled in comparison. or maybe i was a victim of the lonely planet hype, the reality couldn't live up to the expectation i'd built up in my headMar 09, 2008

this was my favorite place in pokhara. we went there every day. sit in the sun by the lake, surrounded by the annapurna mountains, drink wine, sip chai, hang out.. Mar 09, 2008

the bats were fascinating, but we were still freaked out & refused to go any further. here, when we actually reached daylight, we started laughing hysterically, insanely hysterically. fun experience in retrospectMar 09, 2008

shahrina & i both had panic attacks once we were deep inside the pitch black cave & slipping & sliding on bat shit. got seriously claustrophobic & started freaking out. but then we realized we were surrounded by thousands of these bats!Mar 09, 2008

the 2nd and last of our cave experiences. this one was actually really interesting and worth the excruciating process. the cave was deep down and pitch dark. we had one lamp with us, which barely shed enough light for one person to walk, let alone 4.Mar 09, 2008

|
so we clambered up and down the dark and slippery cave & finally made it to the breathtaking and not-to-be-missed shiva linga!Mar 09, 2008

this very exciting phallic stone formation, we could only gaze at it in wonder! Mar 09, 2008

the first of our cave experiences. we didn't really want to go to this cave, but our driver just took us there and then insisted we see itMar 09, 2008

the path ended at a cluster of huts, not really a restaurant. but the guy had a lot of fresh fish and offered to make us lunchMar 09, 2008

school had just let out and we were surrounded by these kids as we walked up the narrow dirt path by Begnas Tal hoping to find a place to get lunchMar 09, 2008
