We landed in Kathmandu and met our hosts Kiran and Nirmala. I had fun playing with their girls Sareena and Angel. They took us to visit some temples in Kathmandu. We went on a long bus ride (the bathrooms weren't great) to Chitwan National Park. We took an evening walk and I got to sneak right past a rhino while he was feeding. Going for an elephant ride early in the morning was quite an experience. Later in the day we floated right past a crocodile while we were in a dugout canoe. Our guide Bishnu took us on a jeep safari and we saw lots of animals including a python. We really liked our Chitwan Gaida Lodge. We traveled to Pokhara where we woke up really early to see an Annapurna sunrise at Sangarkot. Our guide Kaji took us on a couple of hikes in the mountains around Pokhara. It was hard climbing but the view was breathtaking. We climbed to the Peace Pagoda and took a boat ride across Fewa Lake. Before we left Nepal, I received a scarf and a handbag from our new friends in Kathmandu. I will never forget them especially Sareena and Angel. (It was a shame that I never got to meet the Abominable Snowman in Nepal.)
