Kathmandu to Pokhara to Tansen


To summarize, no ride at Canada's Wonderland can compare to the feeling of being a passenger on the road up the hills from Pokhara to Tansen! There wasn't a straight stretch longer than 100 meters. Perfect for fast motorcycling, but only without all the cars, bikes and pedestrians on the very narrow two lane road. Only cement blocks between you and an 800 or so foot drop. We stopped to take pictures of some local monkeys hanging out on the side of the road! The tree is very faint in the picture. but, if you can save and zoom in and you will see a tree full of monkeys!
The sound of jeep car and bike horns are a part of nature here. People just don't move over! Let's just say (for the work folks) there were a lot of "near misses"!

We will be taking this ride again on the 8th at 6 a.m.! Please think of us then!!

I give kudos to the driver, he was an amazing driver!
