After all these days in the mountains, we spend some days in Pokhara, at the edge of lake. The snowcapped mountains are not far away, but it is a return to civilization. 
We are booming festival Dasain, the largest Hindu festival of the year in Nepal. We celebrate Durga and the triumph of good over evil. Families get together, temples teeming with a colorful crowd, and highlight of the show, we sacrifice to the gods chickens, goats and buffaloes. Goats are descended from the mountain these days, the outskirts of cities take on the appearance of cattle fairs, one crosses goats in the back of cars, on motorbikes or drawn on a leash, and in the temples, the blood flows freely ...
In Kathmandu, we do not miss a visit to the famous pagoda of Tibetan Baudha, Narrative yet some "Aum mani padme um" in the crowd llama and pilgrims press. 
The city was emptied of its inhabitants during this festival, the windows are closed, it's raining ... It seems the whole city has made in the image of our moral sense, a bit dull ... it's already starting ...
