the hell-bus-ride from lumpini felt totally worth it when we saw pokhara. the city is a common starting point for trekking and is in the foothills of many mountains, including the annapurna range which we were planning to trek. we only spent two days in pokhara, but manged to get out and see lots of cool stuff. it was nice to finally have some fresh air again, sometimes i don’t realize how bad it is in bkk until i get out of here. the air in katmandu was better, but was constantly infused with the smell of burning trash. up here it had a clean crisp feeling that i hadn’t felt in a long time.
