One More Picture- Prayer Flags and Peaks

Today we have one more day in Pokhara and then we go to southern Nepal for a safari. We hope to see some rhinos and tigers if we are lucky. Here is a picture we missed in yesterday's post although it was one of my favorite moments in the trek high atop a ridge overlooking the peaks. We learned that each of the colors of the prayer flags stand for a different element: fire, water, earth, air, and ether (kind of like the planeteers). They have an image of the wind god to carry the prayers to the corners of the earth.
