Pokkara
Town Accomodation Things To Do


The gateway to the Annapunas. Caught an early bus, had a chance to see some local villages on the way. There were people ploughing a field with just 2buffalos. Very poor. Arrived eight hours later expecting to see mountains but saw none. It was noonsoon season with clouds everyday - was the same for the next 5 days. Nice small town by the lakeside.

Food - Eveest Steak House (very tasty huge slabs of meat). The owner sorts you out a monster steak if you finished a trek!

Shops - copied Northface gear everywhere - Thin Fleece (200RS), Wind Stopper (800RS), Thick Fleece (500RS) , Waterproof Trousers (500RS)

Good shop - funky boss ( Lakeside 6)

Played Carrams with kids in the village, was very cool. Played football/vollyball with sock ball with some other kids. Amazing views of the lake and Pokkara. Was wasted aftewards and ill.
