Nepal

We return to civilization to Pokhara. Pokhara marks an important stop along an age old trade route. The mountains around this serene tropical valley shoot up starkly toward the sky, leaping upwards of 26,000 feet and disappearing into the misty shroud that drapes about their shoulders.
Bindhyabasini Temple one of the oldest Hindu temples in the Pokhara Valley has an immense cultural value.
Pokhara is the second largest city in Nepal after Kathmandu and is 120 miles west of Kathmandu.
