70.13 Nepal: Methlang: Another trip including a tough workout, wonderful sights, some breakfast out, a few climbs...are we having fun yet?

Enroute we absorb this scene of Fewa Lake.
A little climbing to keep the legs stretched.
Carrying on a little further per opening photograph and target reached. Now let's find our way down.

Meantime, Jen taking care of her back reluctantly takes the low road but arrives at the same place. At rear, is village of Sarangkot atop the peak viewed from yet another angle/position.
Let's view the lake and backdrop from a different position. On a distant peak across the lake sits Lord Shiva at his temple, a frequent hike (for us, not him).
This occasion we'll reach for the sky via the unusual clouds and hopefully get our hands on Machapuchare Peak.
We continue upwards and discover another surmountable hill. The challenge is presented.
From there we attain a different perspective of Machapuchare Peak. They're all spectacular.
I'm stuck on the hill; so Jen takes advantage of my absence and goes after the local 'macho hero'. He certainly has bigger b...reasts than I do.
Trying some very low-level flying on the way down. Meantime, we are exposed. While we intimate we are hikers, the truth is revealed that we 'hike' by scooter.
We arrive at the entrance to our regular breakfast spot in Methlang, a wonderful place where our friend Roshni works. (Strange that one has to climb steeply to reach the entrance.)
From the verandah, just one of many perspectives.
Back in the jungle, we look to the tower at the top of Kahun Danda across the way, as well as part of Pokhara.
Here is another position, across the way from his main temple, where Lord Shiva sits. Take a close look at the next photograph below. 

  Poor light notwithstanding, across the way in Pumdikot, on the peak is the main statue of Lord Shiva at the temple. In the foreground (above photo) is a profile view of the lord.
From Shiva Temple in Pumdikot, we view the position of the 'lower Shiva' to the left of the white building on the right side of the mountain below (across the lake).
Love this 'window-shot' of Jen.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

It's really a 'dog's life' living in this part of the world. The question to be asked is whether it is alive. If affirmative, how much longer can it 

remain breathing?

I wonder what gadget the young woman is holding. 

One last question that puzzles us. How can one relax, never mind sleep, 

in such a precarious position? For the record, the dog has been living this 

way for at least 4 years. When it rains, it sleeps on the sidewalk.

...and finally, I thought I'd lost Jen when I remembered what caught her fancy the other day on the outskirts of the jungle. (This is a solitary hotel surrounded by jungle. In fact, we have watched its construction over the last 3 years.)
