Pokhara

« Imagine a Buddhist monastery, perched atop a towering mountain.

Surrounding views are breathtaking, making it impossible to tear your eyes away. The Himalayan air is fresh and remarkably soothing.

In the shadows, you can find serene peaks where "wisdom seekers" reside. As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms into something utterly cosmic.

A peaceful silence fills the air, occasionally interrupted by the enchanting sounds of monks chanting, often accompanied by rhythmic beats, tinged with the deep notes of ceremonial instruments.

The ascent to this place is far from simple, but entirely worth it. Here, the Himalayas penetrate your soul and remain within you forever. 😌 »

« As you might have guessed, this is a Nepalese cucumber. Yes, yes, a cucumber, and here you can find it in various sizes. The prices have remained quite reasonable, and don’t let the pictures fool you; they’re not as daunting in person! 🍆✨ »

« Bright colors in your lens 😄 Nepali masks are one of the most popular souvenirs here. Honestly, I don't really want to buy such a souvenir for myself... I don’t feel too positive about them... In my opinion, it’s still better to stick with the soft woolen slippers 😂🦙🤪 »

« Pokhara. Overall, I didn't enjoy it much. I didn't feel any magical energy in the place at all. I was told that it's the last month before the monsoon season, and after the summer break and refresh, the place becomes clean and strong again. There are a lot of tourists, hippies, and free spirits... Maybe I'm just spoiled by our lakes, and after visiting them, other lakes don't compare at all. I should probably give it another try during the right season. »

« I went to quite a few places today, but nothing really impressed me or stuck in my memory. On the bright side, I ended up spending quite a bit of money. »
