‘Nepal – A perfect holiday destination’
This post is authored by Tomosha Bhattacharjee.
Nepal, a popular tourist resort has natural and artistic backdrop. Nestled in the majestic Himalayas it is overwhelmingly beautiful. One can reach Nepal from India either by air or by train. We- a group of four decided to take the latter. One has to get down at Raxaul and then take any form of conveyance to reach Birganj a dusty border town in Nepal.
A night’s rest in Birganj and then we started for the first leg of our tour – a trip to pokhara. If you journey by local bus a seven hours trip will invariably lengthen to nine or ten hours.
By the time we reach Pokhara we are sapped of energy. A night’s rest is a must. The next morning we went for local sight seeing. Pokhara is no longer the small idyllic spot that is supposedly a tourist’s paradise. It is quite a busy town. A number of hotels have sprung up along the lake side. A stroll down the lake side is pleasant in the evening. Boat ride in Pokhara lake is a popular tourist activity. Our sight seeing itinerary included a view of the sun rise, Bindubasini temple, Davis falls, Mohendra cave etc. The walk through the cave was indeed a novel experience. In the evening we bought some curios from the shops that lined the lake side.
