Eid in Nepal - Day 3

 

Morning from Pokhara, Rise & Shine with a bright sky :) Lets start our day by touring around Pokhara town by our own. I feel so happy and fresh in the morning, with a bright sky & see a lot of Annapurna Mountain tips surrounding Pokhara... make feel so tiny yet so big in this vast world. I wish 1 day I would have the guts to trekking on Annapurna. Lol:P

2nd day breakfast at Hotel Stupa

We stay at Hotel Stupa, provide by our travel agent.. Great staying here^^

Small peaceful Pokhara town

For those who intrested in hiking, extreme activities, kayaking.. etc.. There is a lot of activities you can do in Pokhara & travel agency is all over the place :) The Pokhara town is divide by 2 parts. Tourist city & Old city. Tourist part is where all the tourist attraction at while the Old Town is normal worker city, which you usely don't go. All I can said, the place remind me of Taiping, as the Tourist part is beside Phewa Lake. The place was beautiful, quite, calm & yeahhh its a good place if you looking for calmness in yourself with a lot of friendly people.

Shawl shoping, the owner is nice.. but this shop is expensieve! 

This nepalese staff also used to work in Malaysia :)

 

Cow is everywhere, they just walk around aimlessly & shit all place.

Phewa Lake, Yes you can rent the boat by hours.

At 10.30am our tour guide, took us to our own booking hotel to check in at Vardan Resort N Apartment. And tadaaa... i see my relative also just arrives at the same time :) I`m so happy i wont be stuck with my mum & sis only anymore!! The hotel is nearby the lake & town which happen to most all of the hotel here.. but the design here is very wonderful & pretty. The staff is sweet & the receptionist love to read books & chat with you about world issue. Overall I will rate this place, 5 stars given it hospitality to our big family!

Standing on top of the Ananda hill, Shanti Stupa / World Peace Pagoda adds more beauty to Pokhara Valley. It is a perfect holiday place providing a clear view of the Himalayan range, Phewa Lake and Pokhara city. The hilltop provides a splendid view of sunrise and sunset. TripAdvisor has ranked Shanti Stupa as top second attraction in Pokhara. The pagoda is 7 kilometers from Mahendrapool, the major business spot in Pokhara. There are several ways to reach the peace pagoda. There are hiking trails, cycling tracks and the blacked topped road to the Stupa.There are many trails for hiking. One of the popular and adventurous hiking trails is by crossing the Fewa Lake by a local boat and climb uphill through the local villages that takes about an hour to reach the hilltop. The partial black-topped road from Chorepatan to the Stupa takes about 25 minutes, which can be reached by taxi or private cars.

Eid in NEPAL - Day 1

Are you guys excited to go to Nepal? Yeayyyy.. me too. Our flight is at noon, but look at all the sleepy face hehehe. We took an early morning bus from our hometown which took 4~5 hours drive to KLIA2 and arrived around 6am in the morning. Very tired mah.... TT__TT

Sleepy, early rise in the morning at KLIA2

World Best Low Cost Airlines, AirAsia "Now, everyone can fly~~~" is our flight choice to Kathmandu, Nepal. This is my 1st time in KLIA2. The place was huge... no more last minute arrive at the airport, since we need to walk for 30 - 50 minutes to our departure gate from entrance gates. T0T really far..huhuhuhu. 

The plane ride was comfortable & a bit bumpy when hit the cloud, the food is good. When we enter Nepal airspace, you can see beautiful mountain, hill & river view so magnificent from the window. It took 6 hours to arrive from Malaysia. 

Bonus: There is a handsome korean male flight attendant <3 <3 <3

Landed!! Nepal, im HERE^^

Mountain view from airport, Kathmandu is surrounded by it.

As soon as we landed, its photo time!!^0^

We were greet by our tour guide & driver from HolidayNepal.com at the airport & took us to our own choice of hotel. Shangri-La Boutique Hotel nearby Thamel Street (famous shopping district). The place was quite, peaceful, nice & cosy. No elevator, luckily our room is at groud floor T0T. The staff were helpful, available to speak english fluently & even chinese too.

Our sweet hotel, near Thamel Street

After we finish check in, our guide took us to Patan Durbar Square which is situated at the centre of Lalitpur City. Patan Durbar Square is one of the 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu. Check wikipedia for more information... My cousin is a photographer & he said Nepal is like a heaven to them with a lot of exotic, unique & scenic scene to capture.

Our sweet tour guide, Mr. Prakash

with my mum, enjoy the beautiful World Heritage

Then we move to our next location which is Swayambhunath Temple or known as Monkey Temple is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple.

Wishing well, make a wish.. throw syiling to bowl then your wish will come true.

Highlight of the visit!! Monkey swimming pool \ ^0^ / There is a lot of tons monkey there, please be careful & dont give them anything. Here is Monkey pool, where the monkey play, swimming, dive leisurely. Its very fun & entertaining to watch them^^

You can go check on my instagram, @nody_meow for insta vid of their playful swimming. Serious! Freakin, adorable cutie <3

From entrance, we need to climb for main temple

The main temple, my sis keep saying she watched documentary about this place at National Geographic. 

#np Rain - Rain, is falling down! LOL

On top of the hill, the view of Kathmandu was breathtaking, sadly the moment we arrived.. rain started to poured down. So no more pic & this is the end of our day 1 tour. During our trip, its the raining season in Nepal, July to August. My driver recommend  to visit Nepal for best season in March & November.

During our drive in Kathmandu city, below photo left a deep impression for us. A bunch of tangled cable & still people can lived comfortably with it. Please noted, that Nepal at night always blackout. No electricity, people usually used their own generators at night. Dont worry, mostly hotel has their own generators too... make sure you charge your phone, camera asap when electricity is available, bring your own plug extension if you have a lot of electronic device to charge.
