Day 1: Gorkha, Bandipur, Pokhara
We woke up at 3:45 and refreshed ourselves. There were 4 people on the trip, me, my brother, my mum, and my dad. We left home at 5:50. We ate our lunch at Munglin. It was a very long trip until we reached Gorkha. It was a beautiful place with mountains, greenery, giant hills, and a peaceful river. We visited Gorakhkali temple and Gorkha Durbar. We saw many historical weapons, clothes, utensils, and paintings. It was 3 or 4 PM when we reached Bandipur. We were welcomed there warmly by the locals. They gave us Sel Roti (Fried rice Dough) to eat. We walked in Bandipur for a long time. We had decided to stay in Bandipur but since Pokhara was 2 hours away we decided to go to Pokhara and stay over there. We entered Pokhara at 7 PM. We stayed at hotel Elegant. It was a very good hotel. We went to dinner in a Lakeside Cafe called “Samaya Cafe”. The Food there was very tasty. We returned to our hotel at 9 PM and slept.
Day 2: Pokhara
“Wake up Mr. Lazy,” said my big brother exactly at 7:00 AM. My brother had woken up at 6:00 AM and was waking me up. We went to the balcony. It was a STUNNING view. Many mountain ranges. My brother prepared coffee. We went to our parent’s room and drank coffee with them. After that, we left for my grandma’s home. It was far. We reached there at 10:30 AM. My grandma had prepared some delicious food for us. We ate lunch at 11:00 AM and stayed there for 2 hours. We went to White Peace Stupa. We had to climb a lot of stairs. We reached there and clicked many pictures. We spent a lot of time there. We went to go-kart Pokhara. My brother and I raced a lot. I beat him, though it was quite difficult to beat him. My father ordered us some food and we went to BBSM (BhatBhateni Supermarket). We stayed there for an hour. After that, we went to eat the food my dad had ordered. We went to our hotel and rested for a while, after that we walked along the lakeside. We returned to our hotel tired and slept.
Day 3: Pokhara to Kathmandu
A loud alarm rang exactly at 6:00 AM. My brother had set the alarm yesterday. We both woke up and drank warm water. My brother went to the balcony of the hotel and the weather was quite cloudy. We freshened up ourselves and drank coffee. It was already 7:00 AM. After a while, my dad walked into our room and said “We will leave after 15 minutes, so be ready”. We packed our stuff and got ready. After that, we went to my other grandma’s home. She had cooked us a delicious meal, it was AMAZING!!!. We left for Kathmandu after we had lunch. It was a long 6-hour journey. My brother and I were joking the entire time. My dad refuelled our car before we reached Malekhu. When we reached Naagdhunga there was a big traffic jam because of the new tunnel project. We passed the traffic jam after a long time, it was really boring. Finally, we reached home. I was very tired but I had to go to Close Camp, so I went there. I stayed there for a while editing my drawing and making it perfect for finalization. After that, I walked home. I walked home and rested till 7:00 PM. We had our dinner after I rested. Me and my brother watched a new movie called “Encanto”, it was really good. After that, we slept, and the next day was waiting for us.
