New Years eve turned out to be pretty amazing in Pokhara; starting with a little bit of local dancing which then followed by some more up to date dancing by Myles "the moves" Wood who was originally the quiet one of our group.
The turn of the year was in a local bar frequented by many Europeans where a small group of English were singing the usual end of year of song.
Once sober we moved onto Bandipur which is a forgotten village in the hills, unfortunately, it still remains undiscovered as ecoli was a new guest in my room for the following 12 hours....mmmm happy new year!!!
Lucky enough there was a visiting Doctor from Kathmandu who quickly handed out tablets like sweeties. It quickly made you realise how isolated we were in the mountains and how lucky we are in the developed world. After Bandipur, we moved onto river rafting for three days; camping on the beaches overnight and where a toilet tent was erected and inspected on every occasion by Myles and myself.
Rafting was pretty good even in the dry season, the rapids were not fierce but the scenario was amazing as we slowly moved down the Seti River towards the Chitwan Jungle.
Only the Elephant rides and jungle visit to go now and then back to Kathmandu for our end of trip meal.
