Our next stop is Pokhara in Nepal, which is the second-largest city in Nepal.
Our hotel is on Phewa Lake
with a great patio with this view of the lake.
We did not have a lot of time due to our late arrival in Pokhara - but we made the most of the afternoon.
The first stop was the Tashi Ling Tibetan Village - a village which in 1964 had over 1000 refugees. Today
there are 300 or so in the camp. They cannot legally work or hold a passport.
They weave various rugs, blankets and pillows.
Working at a loom to create a blanket.
Water rushes over Davis Falls and then drops into an underground tunnel.
On 31 July 1961, a Swiss couple Davi went swimming, but the woman drowned in a pit because of the overflow.
Her body was recovered 3 days later in the river Phusre with great effort. Her
father wished to name it "Davi's falls" after her.
Pretty local fishing boats on Phewa Lake
Walking along the banks of Phewa Lake we saw this little puppy - unusual to see a pet
dog in a park - or anywhere outside.
