Chitwan-Pokhara; Nepal

This morning was a relative lie in (6:30 start), and I woke up feeling surprisingly okay given the obscene quantity of vodka I had last night. We left the home stay village and hit the road to Pokhara, travelling through the Mahabharat mountain range.

These roads were amazing, and I have huge admiration for the bus driver for navigating them safely. They clung onto the sides of mountains, sometimes above cloud level, often inches away from vertical drops of hundreds of metres into dense rainforest. Some parts were badly damaged from recent floods and landslides, and other parts had waterfalls gushing over them. Gradually, the rainforest gave way to snow capped mountains and we arrived in Pokhara at 17:00. 

This evening we visited a house where women rescued from human trafficking live, and receive an education and rehabilitation into society, removed from the issues which saw them become a victim of trafficking originally. They made us a great Nepalese dinner, and taught us how to make momos: a Nepalese dish, like a stuffed dumpling. They turned out surprisingly well!

Tomorrow I've got a 4:20 start for a sunrise hike, and then... paragliding!

Love Emily x
