Pokhara, Nepal in 1978 was a small market town

by Lyndon sharp "I was in Pokhara, Nepal in 1978 (population then was only 36,000) and it was already clearly Nepal’s fastest-growing centre - there were brand new roads to Indian border towns of Bhairahawa and Sunauli and to Kathmandu - but was still just a small market town. My friend and I stayed in the upper room of this beautiful “hotel” - with the most fantastic night-time view of the Annapurnas. Lake Phewa was stunningly beautiful at sunset - these photos don’t even catch a little of the magnificence of the veiws. You would listen at night and hear nothing but the owls screeching in the distance."
