    Summary

    Description After a night in Kathmandu, our next stop towards Upper Mustang is Pokhara, just an half-hour flight from Katmandu with gorgeous views on the Himalayas all along (sit on the right of the aircraft). Pokhara is the second largest city of Nepal but, unlike the capital Kathmandu, it is quite loosely built up and still has much green space. The tourist district is along the north shore of Phewa lake. The Annapurna range on the north is only about 28 km away from the lake, and the lake is famous for the reflection of mount Machhapuchhre and other mountain peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges on its surface. I still remember spending all the day there, back in the early eighties, just enjoying the fantastic view and feeling I was flying in the sky with the eagles after having picked the "magic mushroom omelet" on the breakfast menu Well this time has gone, but Pokhara is still one of the most enchanting place in the world and the new way to fly with the eagles is to have a tandem paraglider flight, a very popular activity these days.
