These are the pics of my ride to the little town of Sauraha, on the northern boundary of the Chitwan National Park…
Karen and assistants, Mount Fuji Hotel... I had a great and relaxing stay there, where the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful...
Early morning fuel stop just outside Pokhara. Mr. Jaha Bhattarai, the owner (white sleeves) was a friendly guy who wanted to know all about me and the Big Fella...
GB turns Pied Piper... Kids crowd around the bike wherever I stop...!! Reminds me of Africa...
Far below me, I watched a guy bathing in the river... I shivered at the thought of the icy cold water...!!
First signpost for the mythical Kathmandu...!! A name along with Timbuktu, that had intrigued me since I was a child... (But I'm still a child, do I hear some of you say...?? Yeah, yeah... But I'm in Nepal, and most of you are out there working...!! Ha-ha...!!)
Something big must have plunged over the side here...!!
Islands in the Stream...
An oncoming bus and it's maniacal driver clearly believed that Single Track Bridge meant he could try and squeeze between the Big Fella and the railing of the bridge...!! Bugger almost killed me...!!
Cool tail lights on the Kathmandu Express...
The Big Fella cringed when I stopped here to take a photo... "Thou shalt NOT be servicing me here... Surely...!!" he said sternly...
Parking in Nepal can be a hazardous affair...!!
And you should see the size of the spiders...!!
And the condition of the bloody roads...!! My wind deflector was shaken off...!!
Sanctuary finally found...!! At the end of the main road running along the river...
Inner courtyard of the hotel... Great place to relax and watch the river running by... Thanks for the suggestion, Karen...!!
A late lunch consisted of the "River Side Special Pizza"... With extra cheese, of course...!!
I watched as tourists who had been hiking in Chitwan, were poled back across the river...
And flocks of Siberian Geese flew across the dusky sky...
Pink sunset over Chitwan National Park... Special...!!

Yummy that pizza looks delicious, I’m impressed, another decent looking meal. Nepal has beautiful scenary, relax and enjoy your time there. You need to take it all in. Can’t wait for the ellie adventure.
