To Pokhra
My ride in Himalayas started, as I crossed the limits of Butwal. Time was around 0930hrs. Road beyond Butwal is ok. Nothing much to click.
Butwal to Pokhra is Via PALPA - another tourist attraction
the serenity of few houses attracted me a lot
bridge
a temple
Cleanliness is next to godliness: I think Nepalese villagers understand this better than Indians
Waaling : one of the towns on the way
Reached Pokhra in 5 hours from Butwal.
Searched for a hotel near Phewa Lake . Lake side road is just like Mall road in any Indian hill station. This is the most happening place in the town. More foreigners than Nepalese. I was also one of them (Foreigners ;)) so planned to stay at lake side. Got a room at Kiwi guesthouse for Rs 300.

BEWARE - People ‘addicted’ to Veg and Indian food, Nepal is not for you, unless you have deep pockets and can shell Rs 200 or more for an ordinary Indian (Marwari) thali. Though I am Vegetarian but survived on ‘daal-bhaat’ as I am not addicted to Rotis.
‘Beverages’
I guess you are in paradise
