Himalaya View from Guest house in Pokhara
An amazing Himalaya view (Machhapuchhre and Annapurna) from the rooftop of our guest house in Pokhara. Around 0615 am we couldn’t see a thing, but one hour later we had a nice mountain view from our room. The Himalayan view at the rooftop of our guest house was simply breathtaking. What a great way to wake up and start the day.

Landslides Pasang Lhamu Highway
On our way back from Dhuche to Kathmandu we had to pass several landslides areas along the Pasang Lhamu Highway. The highway was destroyed at five different places and we had to walk for one hour to pass this area and to reach the bus to Kathmandu. Some parts were pretty dangerous as big rocks were still rolling down every now and then, so we had to hurry when passing those areas.
