"Mis"adventures in Pokhara

There were a lot of "almosts" on our weekend trip to Pokhara. We "almost" went to the World Peace Pagoda.  We "almost" saw the Himalayas at sunrise.  We "almost" hiked down the mountain to the lake. Part of our group "almost" went zip lining.  We "almost" missed our flight back to Kathmandu.  All of these "almost's" were due to the rain in Pokhara.  The rainy season started early this year, cramping our plans a bit.  The group loved Pokhara despite all of this, and we did manage to successfully do a few things on our tour agenda.  We did visit the International Mountain Museum.  We saw a waterfall and cave in the city.  We boated at the lake and did a lot of shopping.  And, of course, we ate good food.  We even took in a cultural performance during dinner.  Here are a few pics from the weekend.
