Divine Swayambhunath Temple, Nepal

Stupa

The UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ) has designated almost 51 World heritage sites in South Asia. Swayambhunath is one of them in Nepal.

Swayambhunath is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in Kathmandu valley. It is a most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site and Tibetan Buddhism.

The temple has two access points , a long stairway with 365 steps on east side and another car road around the hill from southwest side with almost 65 steps. We took the route of 65 steps as it was impossible for us to climb 365 steps with kids and pressing time.

Spectacular Mount Machhapuchhre in Nepal

Majestic view of Machhapuchchhre peak

Machhapuchhre peak

Pokhara is an international tourist destination with views of whole Annapurna range of Himalyas, especially Machhapuchchhre – The “Fish-Tail” Mountain. On a clear day, one can actually see reflection of these ranges in Feva lake.

Most of the hotels provide breathtaking views of the Feva lake and mountain ranges from the roof top itself. The Machhapuchchhre peak is about 25 kms from north of Pokhara.

Fish Tail's steep pointed profile makes it striking, although it is at the height of 6,993 m. Due to its double summit resembling the tail of a fish, its name is Fish Tail.

Ambiance

As we saw from the car, this cafe looked awesome with square wooden panes and greenery hovering it. There were wooden benches and a nice seating arrangement. Crowd appeared to have a gala time there. Romantic couples were making the place happening. Beautifully decorated with plants, lights, wooden benches, and vintage British furniture, Diggin Cafe is a perfect place for spending time with loved ones.

We already knew that the experience is going to be nice. As we reached the open air restaurant, number of couples were having a nice time.

Food

Coffee Brownie and Banana
Strawberry shake

We secured a table and ordered Banana strawberry shake and coffee brownie smoothie. Both were awsome in taste. Then, we ordered Diggin's Signature Ravioli Pasta. This was homemade Ravioli ( like momos) stuffed with mixture of spinach, broccoli , ricotta cheese cooked in arrablata sauce. What a taste it was. All the spices and cheese were optimal. Both of us liked it. Although my husband is not very fond of Pasta but he loved this one.We also complimented the chef- Mr. Narinder Singh on Pasta.
