70.25 Nepal: Twin Towers above Kristi with emphasis on the flora and steps.

  This hike was another vist to the towers at the peak, another tough but rewarding day. We have included a video pasted at the end which shows the magnificent coloring enjoyed during this early, spring period. A number of photographs show Jenni in the climbing stages, many steps, as well as the beautiful flora scenes. Heck, what's not to like (love) and enjoy. It was a cloudy day and so the fabulous Himalayas took the day to rest from continuous showing off. No matter how often we view the range, one cannot tire of them. 

The twin towers in the distance as seen from the halfway stage.
Jen hangs on at the final climb, admittedly, a rather dangerous position.
A classic position while climbing the steps.
We found this stunning. We've seen these trees over the region.
Someone is not that happy following a typical stiff climb.
The previous week we hiked to Buddha Park, to the left of the hotel (white building) and past it, at the horizon. On the right, looking through the branches, is Shiva Temple, a midpoint.
A view from near the peak of the river below.
Could not resist another showing.
As well as part of the City of Pokhara.
A little more color near the peak...mustard seeds. This is a very high-positioned terrace which cover a sizeable portion of the land.
Below is a video of some of the highlights, including Jen's partial path to the peak. It was a wonderful experience, yet again, as we changed direction and did a loop, somewhat different from the previous occasion. To watch the video, follow instructions and ensure you press the 'full screen button', the square icon. Unfortunately, I 'lost' the music so it will be a quiet 2 minutes.

 

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
