It's been a few weeks since I was actually there, but thought I'd post some pretty pictures from my short visit to Pokhora.
One thing my friend mentioned, was that it rains more in Pokhora than it does in Kathmandu. And it was probably wasn't the best time to visit Pokhora, right in the middle of the monsoon. A few friends recommended paragliding there, but I think that's more a dry season activity.
It rained everyday we there, but one afternoon the clouds parted to give a few stunning views of Lake Fewa.
We also managed to rent a row boat and go on the lake for a swim.
Now, you don't want to swim along the lake's shores because of pollution, but in the middle of the lake, the water's pretty clean. Most locals will be able tell you where the paani is raamro for swimming.
For expats, Pokhora's a nice relaxing getaway from Kathmandu. I suppose if I was in Kathmandu long enough, I'd like to get away now and then. Although, compared to other places I've been in South Asia, Kathmandu still feel pretty relaxing to me!

I love to visit here someday and do paragliding.
