RE: Exploring Old Pokhara, A City in the Foothills of the Himalayas

in Worldmappinlast month

jlinaresp called them "magical streets", I agree with him. I don't know what would I feel while visiting there physically, but this photo visit does have taken me to another world - most probably, to star wars world.

My thoughts about this post - Amazing photographs and worth reading information.

Thanks! 😊 You know what I feel? People often say Nepal is a soft version of India. And I agree when it comes to Kathmandu (the capital). But when I was exploring the old streets of Pokhara, I felt "Nepal is a soft version of Tibet". I've never been to Tibet, though... So it was an exotic experience - vibes of adventure, of a new flavor of Asia.

I have never been to Tibet as well but I am familiar with the culture and you are right to say, "Nepal is a soft version of Tibet". Even in India and Pakistan there are some places which are soft version of Tibet.

Yup, in the mountains. Here, in Nepal, there are many peoples related to Tibetans, as well as many cultural features, including Tibetan momos as a part of everyday life and culture. Generally, Nepal was always the gateway to Tibet, so no surprise there are many parallels.

Agreed.

What would be your next destination?
