Pokhara, which could have been a haven of peace after 3 weeks spent in the mountains, turned out to be an unpleasant culture shock, a real tourist town where the behaviour of the foreigners was a real contrast to the culture of the country.

Once past Bamboo, the trail gently gains height, taking you from 2,350 to 2,500 metres of altitude. The landscape is still very wooded at this point, and along the way you pass through hordes of rhododendrons in which a number of different orchid species can be seen; and, as you've no doubt already gathered … bamboo. With a bit of luck you'll also get to see monkeys, shrieking and leaping from branch to branch.
 Next, once past Dovan, the trail again climbs a little further: the next stop, Himalaya, lies at an altitude of 2,900 metres. You'll pass some beautiful and very high waterfalls along the way, as well as a little temple dedicated to the god Baraha. There can also be a risk of avalanches from this point forward. If you do the trek in the snow, ask the guides which are the safest paths to take. Dovan is yet another wonderful place for you to include on <a href="/nepal/">your itinerary for your trip to Nepal</a>.
