Nepal - World Peace Pagoda

The World Peace Pagoda is a "buddhist stupa designed to provide a focus for people of all races and to help unite them in the search for world peace". There are several peace pagodas around the world.
On our last day, Kingsley and I hiked up to the Peace Pagoda in Pokhara.

First stop on the trip, bfast at Mike's an Organic Cafe. Sat at little table in the sunshine right on the lake. From there we took a small boat across the lake to the start of the hike.

On our way up the mountain we walked through several villages and came across a bunch of kids sprinting down the mountain - late for school. They did pause ever so briefly to wish us Namaste. Namaste is a common greeting in Nepal but the meaning of the word is actually very deep "that which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you".


Made it to the top.
