The boat then took us to the other side of the lake, and we hiked up to the Peace Pagoda where there was a view of Annapurna range and Pokhara city. Miton and I became competitive by this point in terms of who could take the better photo. Thankfully we are sharing them all, so everyone wins. The Peace Pagoda was amazing to see since Buddha was born in Nepal. At this point we had done quite a bit of hiking, but we wanted more. We hiked down the other side of the “hill” to see Davis Falls. The water levels were quite low at this point, so it wasn’t that exciting. We had a choice at this point. We could either take the bus back home or hike all the way back up to the Peace Pagoda and down to our boat waiting at the bottom. We selected the hike. It felt so good to push myself to do all this hiking in one day. I never felt so alive! The boat took us around for about an hour, and then we went out for a traditional Nepali dinner to unwind. Miton and I took about 600 photos combined by the end of the trip to Pokhara, and most of the photos were taken this day.
P.S. According to Miton's calculations, we hiked a total of over 2000 ft uphill and 2000 ft downhill in one day.
