B.A.U.

Too bad there are limitations...

It's business as usual after the lurching rafting trip down the Trishuli river. The annoying sore throat and muscles stand present as if to keep reminding that it was not a dream.

The bus ride from and to Trishuli was not smooth enough to my liking. The bus stopped for break and breakfast, which turned out to be a extortively rated menu items listed thus:

The bus was not comfortable either.

However, the down-the-river experience was quite awesome. The guide allowed us to jump into the river, which I did numerous times, and even swam dangerously away from the boat. And I lost plastic-wrapped 2000 bucks which I had forgotten to take out of my pocket.

Had it not been for the famish and fatigue which set in after 2 hours, I would have wanted to go all the way to the Indian ocean.
