Days 13 and 14 - Pokhara, Nepal
Our 6 hour drive from the Tharu Community to Pikhara turned into 12 hours due to landslides, broken down vehicles and really poor roads due to recent flooding. In the evening we visited the Sisterhood of Survivors - an organisation run by survivors of human trafficking. They taught us how to make momos and served a traditional Nepalese meal before providing a presentation on stats of human trafficking and what their organisation is doing to combat it.
The next day we arose at 4.30 to catch the sunrise at the Annapurna Himalayas but disappointingly there was too much cloud cover. We will come back here in a few days so hope to have better luck then.
Then off to the World Peace Pagoda which was constructed by Buddhist monks and is high on the hill so has amazing views. Tomorrow we head to Kathmandu.
