No-one seemed to know where the bus station was, except the taxi driver, whose services I, in line with my backpacker lifestyle, stubbornly did not want to use. So I set off on a long walk, asking people on the way wherever possible. I did find the bus station eventually, but was not so pleased to hear that the next bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge was one and a half hours later. Not that one and a half hour mattered so much in the scheme of my one year holiday, but I was very keen to do a fair bit of hiking in the Gorge today, since they predicted rain for the next day. Eventually, I got to the Gorge by 4pm, did a strenuous 2-hour walk and ended up having a great evening talking to an interesting guy from Singapore. Next day, the weather gods were sending some clouds but spared me in the end: no rain while I was hiking! Tiger Leaping Gorge was undoubtedly beautiful, but no comparison to my previous hiking adventure in Nepal. On the upside, it was great being able to stay in a mountain guesthouse with delicious food and electrical blankets on the beds - a luxury unknown in Nepal!
