Old Pokhara Town

Old Pokhara is a rustic and charming place, which is exactly what the first travellers found when Pokhara first appeared on the hippie trail many decades ago.Pokhara looks very different from the Nepali towns further to the west, with painted houses and little porches. This particular house is a small watch shop. The whole place is filled with such small family owned shops. Not a single fancy, Western brand outlets here. Not that there is anything wrong with Western consumerism as such, but still nice to see that there are place that it hasn't gotten to yet, even so close to a tourist hotspot.
