The Descent

A sudden bout of lethargy seemed to hit me as we descended down the trail to the southern shores of Phewa Lake, but I kept on going, past Lychee Garden Resort, and down to the boat houses that were located on the shores of the lake. The boat trip across the lake cost NPR500/3 for the three of us and NPR10 for each (mandatory) life jacket.

Boating on Phewa Lake

The lethargy grew steadily over time and was followed by an almost complete loss of appetite. I was only able to force down half of my dinner (buff fried rice and lassie, NPR270), before the cold chills struck. I began to burn up fairly soon after, so I hurried back to the room (double room per night, NPR1277) for paracetamol before drifting off to sleep.
