RESTING IN POKHARA

Pokhara, looking at the tourist area which is called Lake Side. I think this is afternoon haze
(although it could be pollution). This was taken a mile from the Buddhist temple on a day
me and a couple of English friends biked 17 miles to the head of the lake (along the far side of the lake),
down this side, and up and down a couple of mountains. To be fair, we pushed the bikes up most of the hills.

On another day, I hiked with a friend to the temple from the other direction and we came
across a troupe (herd, flock, community?) of monkeys living on the mountain. Although
it was impossible to know for certain because they blended into the forest so well, I
believe there were over a hundred of them in the group. 

His plow is made from a tree root. The wooden bit is covered with plate steel.
Except for his plaid hat, I think this scene would have looked exactly the same for generations
