South of the square lies the Kumari Chowk, home to Nepal's living goddess, the Kumari, a prepubescent girl chosen as the incarnation of the Hindu goddess Talejn. The Kumari lives a cloistered life, rarely leaving the confines of the chowk. When she does, it is for important religious festivals, but her feet are not allowed to touch the ground.

Nepal combines Himalayan views (when visible), golden temples, charming villages, and jungle wildlife and is a great destination to explore. I'll be back one day again to revisit Pokhara as it had a great vibe.

Nepal should have been an unforgettable experience. However it has a serious pollution problem which made it difficult to enjoy the scenery etc. The Himalayas were not visible. The road trips were too long at 9 to 12 hours on very poor condition roads.
