Tansen and journey too Pokara

Tansen was really nice. The 1 day and 2 nights we spent there we only saw 3 other Westerners. It’s a lovely medieval market town and you can see some buildings are like our tudor architecture but with tin roofs and other modern additions.
It’s hard to believe this place was the scene of one of the major battles of the civil war just 5 years ago.
We Hiked across the big hill behind the town which had some awesome views and the occasional random temple.
Then we got the bus to Pokara. The roads somehow cling on to the sides of the mountains as the bus constantly swings left too right, thowing you a few feet in the air every few seconds, always with sheer drop on one side. The seat wasn’t attached to the bus so it was a case of wedging yourself in and hoping for the best. The second half of the journey was particularly scary and the first half I had a nepali guy next to me throwing up out the window. Still we got here ok and found a guest house and got rooms for £1.50 a night. The town looks nice but really touristy.
Will write more in my next entry.

Loads of old buildings like this
