Welcome to the Himalayas

Welcome! to the Himalayas! And Wow what an amazing and beautiful place the Himalayan Mountain Range is. Tropical and Sub-Tropical mountains with a back drop of 8 out of 10 of the highest mountains in the world which includes Mt. Everest. I did not climb to the top of Mt. Everest, but some day I hope to return to Nepal and do the Mt. Everest Base Camp hike from which I can see Mt. Everest.

Pokhara is a beautiful city located in the heart of Nepal. It is build around the second largest lake in Nepal, which is not that big, but still a stunning place. The city is very tourist friendly. I met many people from all over the world and the food was excellent too. I had steak and pizza and French toast all during my few days in Pokhara. I have many pictures from my time in Nepal so instead of me telling all about it I will add a caption to the pictures and let you see Nepal. However, the pictures just do not do the place justice for how stunning it is, but I think you will get the idea.

This is what happens when you drive too fast around a corner

Terraced farming on the mountains like in Guatemala

The beautiful green you see in the above two pictures are rice fields grown in layers on the mountain

Stunning

Wow

Beautiful

Deep in the back of this picture you can see the High peaks of the Himalayas. It was a rainy day and so I didn't get a good pic.

Sunset on the lake

The sunrise which if it had not been cloudy I would also have been able to get some awesome pictures of the snow covered mountains behind.

That's Me

That's me holding the Sun

That's Akbar trying to hold the Sun

I know this photo is a little blurry, but the man on the back of the motorcycle has a live chicken in that bag.

A word of caution to traveling in the Himalayas. DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!
