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.. 158 views

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 retrospect135 views

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!134 views

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 4.118 views
