My tryst with myself and Pokhara before heading towards Lumbini – Travel diary 1 Nepal

It was a Saturday before Christmas (2018) that I wanted to visit a Buddha land for whatever reason.

The plan started from Varanasi, Sarnath and ended booking tickets for Nepal on the following Sunday. Guys, I have already been to Bodhgaya, which one of blogs do talk about... Well this time, i don’t know, but I take it as a strong call that came from the Buddha’s birthplace Lumbini.

And here was I, at the Kathmandu airport, struggling to catch my flight to Pokhara, which I did board after losing my lovely sheep wool stole.

Kathmandu Airport

Pokhara is definitely enchanting, beautiful as well as cute starting from the airport where there was no luggage belt to pick the luggage from... to the lakes and people around, which I will elaborate in detail later.

Pokhara Airport

 At the airport, an old man was there, struggling amidst the passengers.. in a small waiting room kinds. His duty was to give their luggage away post checking and confirming the same luggage number as on the boarding pass to the sticker pasted on the luggage.

Zostel Pokhara

 Zostel Pokhara was my home for two days there – well it was my first experience at a hostel space. As I was first time on a #solotrip, Pokhara was indeed very alien on the very first day, which was apparently the Christmas day. However, it was all flawlessly managed somehow. From the second day and onwards, I just immersed, not just with the simplicity of people, but with the unsoiled people, culture and heritage of the terrain....
