Wonderful mountain views and many steps up, up, up and down, down, down. Opportunities to see more of the life of Nepali people in other places and plenty of food for thought about development, tourism and the impact of it all. My nine days trekking to Khopra Ridge (out of Pokhara) with VSO volunteer friends was truly a great experience. Pity I couldn't go the extra 1100 metres up to the lake for the day, but hey I was happy to accept my limits!
