We got back to Pokhara in time for a street festival, and the usual congested streets are blocked off to cars. This will continue through New Year's. There seems to be only one place that has music and performances, fortunately close to our hotel. Restaurants have put out seating in the street, and there's some crafts sellers, but mostly the usual stores and vendors. There was a parade led by an elephant and people in costume.
Sangarkot was beautiful, and we enjoyed visiting villages. The sunrise view of the Annapurnas was spectacular. We spent our last night reading by candlelight in front of a kerosene heater. Nepal's great, but the 10 hour a day power outages are hard to take. Right now we're in a cybercafe with a generator, but there were few generators in Sangarkot. Our hotel used candles. Here in Pokhara our hotel has a backup generator. Still, Sherpa Resort was comfortable, and we enjoyed our mountain views.
