Babu and K.P. are very nice and funny. We went boating on Phewa Lake and they seemed to enjoy it very much.
Actually, we did not talk with each other much at first. Babu seemed to be very serious. K.P. talked so little that we thought that he did not know English. But on the second day, we found that they were very funny. We were sick on the 1st day of our trekking plan and we gave up trekking after 4 hours of walking uphill. We went back to Pokhara and boating in Phewa Tal. All enjoyed the boating very much. K.P. even sang the national song for us! We all enjoyed our days in Pokhara.
It was just a pity that we did not know that we could stay in Pokhara for the rest of days which we originally planned to go trekking! We left Pokhara too early! We had not seen much of Pokhara!!! Perhaps when the travel agent meet people who have the potential of being not able to go trekking (just like us), he can suggest an alternative for them i.e sightseeing in Pokhara.
Chong personally loves Chitwan most. The weather was great. It was sunny. Riding elephants, riding on the jeep and waking in the jungle are fantastic!
Prem who looked after us are very responsible, too. It was just a pity that he did not have time to join the activities together with us.
But one night, he and his girlfriend brought Chong & Gladys to the “downtown,” small Thamel and we all chatted happily, together with Prema’s friends, too. The night was great! It was a bonus to us. We felt warmth that night!
It was very disappointing that even when we went jeep-riding, we still could not see the real crocodiles. Everyone told us that we could see the real one when we went on a jeep and went into the jungle. We paid an extra amount of money for riding on a jeep! Yet the jeep driver did not go into the crocodile breeding centre! We understood that it was just the responsibility of the Jeep driver, and not of Prem, nor the travel agent that “PERHAPS WE WERE JUST UNLUSKY!”.
The hotel, is very nice. The room facilities are fine but hot water is still a problem. The water is not cold but not warm enough for us to take a shower. If it is possible, it is better to tell the tourists this fact first.
Yes! There were no mosquitoes inside the room! But we don’t know if it is because of the cold season or if it is really the effort of the hotel to keep away the mosquitoes.
The food in the restaurant tasted good. The hotel was quite luxurious! Ah! Just one soup or one main dish was too salty!
Tharu dance was great. We joined Tharus people to dance in the last dance. It was really very enjoyable. We loved it.
Many things to talk, but no time to write ¦ Thanks “Nature Trails” for our wonderful trip!
Photos will be sent back later (perhaps after 3 weeks when we go back to Hong Kong!) .
