One Day in Pokhara



Yeah, I know, I’ll say it before you say what you’re thinking, no need to fret: is one day enough for Pokhara? Yeah it is. Do you know when? When you have a tight ass schedule. Pokhara is the perfect weekend getaway place. This place is never boring. You hear me? I don’t know if it is the all the hustles and bustles, the busy streets, the serenity of the lake or the new restaurants popping up every now and then, there is just something new in Pokhara every time you visit. There is just some other vibes about this place. It always surprises me. 
So pack a bag, and head over to Pokhara. You can either grab a flight or an overnight bus trip, whichever suits your timing and your budget well.
Sarangkot 

 If you want to catch the sunrise from this place, which is just something else, you’ll have to wake up super early. But it’s worth it.
Peace Stupa

 The Peace Stupa has been named appropriately. You can either catch a ride up the hill, or walk. If you can catch good weather, you’d see a splendid view from up here. The walk up here is worth it, trust me. Enjoy a cup of tea while you’re there. 
Cycling
It is heavenly to cycle around the lake in the early morning. Take a cycle on hire and enjoy the wide roads.
Breakfast at White Rabbit
The name rings a bell does it not? Our favorite childhood candy. Fortunately, white rabbit does not only push you into reminiscence but gives you good food while you’re at it.
Boating
Boating at Fewa taal is an obligation, no matter when you go. You must have gone boating here many times but do it for the peaceful round, if for nothing else, watch birds soar across the sky, catch the sunlight on your face, just enjoy!
Local fish dish
Set amidst the Fewa taal, this local fish dish is a must have! The simple flavors of fresh fish with that achar is out of this world!
Thakali for Lunch

Grab a plate of thakali khana, and get full at Maila Didi ko Bhansa Ghar. Because thakali is the best meal to have when you’re on trip. Why even think about something else?
Drinks at Crazy Gecko

Order a couple of drinks and relax at Crazy Gecko. The place is just by the lake and crazy good for relaxing. Forget your problems and the world for a while.
Paragliding

If you have the enthusiasm, you could book a paragliding flight here. You’ll catch a splendid view of the Pokhara valley, the mountains and Fewa lake, or so I’ve been told.
Godfather’s pizzeria
Grab dinner at Godfather’s pizzeria. It is one of the best pizzas available here in Pokhara. The base is just right and the flavors burst in your mouth in all good ways. Godfather’s pizzeria is a must visit.
One of my favorite things about Pokhara, besides the wide roads, the strolls around the lake, the vibes and so many other things that it makes me feel is the view of Mt Machhapuchchhre, it feels so close from anywhere in Pokhara, so close that I can almost reach out and touch it.

Go ahead, get those vibes! Plan a trip to Pokhara at your earliest convenience!

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast.  Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
