Nepal 4.0 -Back to Katmandu-

This time Suresh was on time… dang… dang… dang… because
He was expecting our "courtesy", bloody idiot!!!
We just gave him 500rupee, wakakaka for his *punctuality*!
Actually we don’t need him to be there that morning, we just need to check out and that's it!

On the way back to Kathmandu, The Legendary Himalayan Range reveals itself to us for the first time.
Magnificent! Stunned!
Magnificent! Everyone was amazed!
Magnificent! I felt like the Himalaya was teasing me to stay for another day! Technically saying, it’s the top of the world we were looking at! We stopped at a cable car station that will take us to the Holy Temple of Manakamana known as the Wish Fulfilling Temple. The cable car journey is 2.8km over the Trishuli River. Before the cable car was build, locals walk 3hours to the temple and our driver estimated that it will take us 3days to reach there. Wakakaka!!!

We got a lotta cable car in msia but it was the first time I see a chicken riding a cable car! From that fellow expression, I'm sure the chicken was for curry!

Unusual to see such a calm chicken cable-carring le! The cable car runs between Cheres, near the road to Pokhara, and Manakamana, making it possible to do the three-hour trek in 15 minutes.

Hotel Black & White??? For what purpose?

This is the Manakamana Temple, I didnt make any wishes by rolling these wheels. I'm not that supersitious lol! Situated at an altitude of 4,200 ft/1,300 m, the temple itself is not especially impressive, but Bagwati's ability to fulfil the wishes of her visitors makes this a popular destination.



I'm getting really bored with Templessssssss
the all looks the same,
sounds the same
but not sameeeeeeeee!

Flowers bouquet are for the temple devotee to make wishes!

These are Nepali Apples! Taste very good...

Their food are exactly the same as Indian food!

Nepali can only cut their hair after 5years old, little samson! This is a Boy le!

This Trishuli is the river that almost took my life, a mighty river indeed. The Trishuli is the most popular river for rafting. The Trishuli has been so popular because of its accessibility of road along its major part.

After the cable car stop, we went to a restaurant the road side recommended. The driver manages to buy petrol from the black market for 150rupee per litre, as most of Nepal petrol kiosk has dried up. We dun wanna run outta petrol in the mid of journey as that would be very depressing.

The thing about most restaurants in Nepal is that they serve food from all corner of the world; Nepal, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, French, English and Indian but no Malay LOL! Same like Steven's corner lo!

After lunch, we met a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long queue along the mountainous road. Sei lo!
I dun wanna spend my night here le. The queue was due to one truck gear box broke and a bus runs outta fuel! With two BIG vehicles immobilize next to each other in a super thin road, nothing we can do.

I feel relieve as there were three united Nation Prado with us, at least we were not the only foreigner in this queue. Nearly an hour later, the bus was able to refuel and we on our way to Kathmandu again. the road was still badly congested after we left because vehicles from both side has entangled like snakesssss both side also wanna cross ended up in chaos.

We reach Katmandu himalayan hotel around 4pm, at night I didn’t go out because I got stomachache, fever and cold. Believe I ate somehting dirty from lunch, I believe This Nepal Rice Putin is the culprit!Four of them went ot Tamil so I stayed home to watch Sarah Palin!
