66.04 Nepal, Pokhara: Sarangkot Peak View-Point, a testing but beautiful experience.
Jen reaches the destination...part of the the fabulous Annapurna Range and Machhapuchhare Mountain as background. A more complete perspective. A view from Shanti Stupa, across the lake and on a mountain, focusing on Sarangkot Peak with the big mountains behind it. You can see the highpoint, Sarangkot Tower, on the mountain top in the foreground (slightly right and much below Fishtail.) One of the ways of capturing the flavor of local hikes or treks, in our opinion, is to take oneself down to Pokhara, Nepal, and find some outstanding opportunities. They are available but not necessarily advertised as such. Besides the hiking, which in our opinion is the essence of what we do, the rest is important, vital really, but nevertheless, supplementary to our main purpose. However, life's situations create opportunities for experiences which often, if not always, provide exposure with which to relate to different cultures, environments as well as understand and deal with ourselves...
