Adventures in Pohkara

So we took 4 days to visit Pohkara and I can say, we had a wonderful time. I think the only thing that could have made it better is if the mountains could have been seen. We went along with Olivia (the Aussi) and Daniel (the Kiwi). Here's a little glimpse...

We took a 7 hour bus ride along the Trisuli river






Between the 4 of us, we’ve managed to master the art of cramming 4 people in the back of the smallest taxis as if it’s completely normal. 


Walmart anyone?

The first day was overcast so we decided to see if we could conquer the ZipFlyer. It’s 1800 meters long, has a 2000 foot vertical drop, reaches max speed of 120 kilometers/hour, and last for about 2 minutes. It was great! 







Jordan, Daniel, and I were really wanting to go paragliding at some point and the weather was proving to not be in our favor. However, we woke up on day 2 and there were blue skies and sunshine. The crew said they had been waiting for a day like that for over 2 weeks. We booked for the afternoon and went to see Devi Falls and the International Mountain Museum in the meantime. 





Yeti sightings...so amusing to walk past this one
Flight time: 1:00
We took off from Sarankot and landed along Pohkara Lake. I think I can say this was most likely the highlight of our time spent in Pohkara for me!

To wrap up an amazing day, we took a boat out on the lake. What an...adventure
