The breeze blows softly in Pokhara

The streets of Pokhara are decorated with hundreds of thousands of Tibetan prayer flags. During the days, which have been sunny and warm the breeze has sent them gently moving, which symbolizes the prayers being offered.

We began today by watching the sun rise at the Sarangot lookout which made the Annapurna range, part of the Himalayas, glow pink for the briefest moment. It was freezing so a cup of tea for 20 rupees was absolute bliss!

After breakfast we hiked to the World Peace Pagoda. The view from the top was worth it! Each time we catch a glimpse of the mountains from a new angle they are breathtaking!

Off to Chitwan National park tomorrow for a bit of jungle time. Hoping for more sunny days with the beautiful soft breeze...
