Nepal Day 4

The journey to Pokhara commenced with a trip on a nearby cable car up to the top of a mountain to another local and very active temple. We waited in line for an hour for the ride up, along with hundreds of locals and their chickens and goats, being taken up for sacrifice.

The ride up took about 10 minutes with breath taking views and an incredible incline and arrived at a small village, there only to serve the pilgrims and worshippers.

The temple was a hive of activity. With smoke, bell ringing, chanting and a large number of people waiting their turn to pray and honour Shiva to whom the temple was dedicated.

After an hours stop we braved the return journey by cable car and then continued our journey to Pokhara.This took most of the remaining part of the day.

Upon arrival at the Trek 'O' Tell, we received a briefing and our treking kit bag, sleeping bag and liner and then hit the town for some last minute shopping.

Of course we got some 'essentials', before catching some pizza for dinner and getting some rest prior to starting our trek.
