141) TUESDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 1977 : 135KMS. - (40KMS before) POKHARA
A Nepalese asked to take a lift with us to a half way when we left LUMBINI in the morning. Our route from BHIRAWA onward we were charged for the toll fee at RS. 36. – .
We also had to report at several checkpoints of various towns and cities. Policemen checked
and recorded our names and passport numbers every time we passed the
checkpoints.

Some Nepalese women still look very much like Indian women as they are also Hindu and wear nose-jewelries. However, they wear saris in different ways. The Nepalese does not tie the knot in the front like pleats but the body is wrapped around with saris. For the men, it is quite obvious to wear flat caps with garish colors and designs.
Nepaleses like
Tibetans are different from Indians that they use their foreheads in holding straps of bags (different
sizes), loaded with articles or belongings while carrying them on the back, instead of using their hands to carry
them.

Today we parked for overnight on the roadside near a small village overlooking a typical Nepalese house and the peaks covered with white snow.
