Bhakunde

Two weeks in Nepal

Rieko took me on a walk up the hillside to a small mountain village called Bhakune where we stayed a night. The next morning we walked up to a viewtower and had a look out over the beautiful view of the himalayas. If you're curious you can read my diary from the trip to Bhakunde and the day after.

The girl in the middle handed Rieko a goat kid and sat down next to her with her own.

Baglung can be seen down by the river with the spread out houses of Bhakunde in the foreground

I walked off in the late afternoon to take a look at the view. This is the road leading futher in to the mountains from Bhakunde.

Rain falls on the mountains. I would soon get soaked myself.

On the top of a nearby hill stood a half finished viewtower. This is a photo of the staircase that I nervously climbed to take a look at the surroundings.

I took the best photo of the day with my phone right after waking up

The view the next morning of the mountains across the valley took me completely by surprise. It had been cloudy the day before so I had no idea that they were there at all.
