This is the Seti Gorge, something like the Grand Canyon of Pokhara. The hotel is built at the edge of the gorge, which probably means it will end up in the gorge sometime in the near future. But while the hotel is still in its original position, the gorge makes a very dramatic backdrop. Our side of the gorge was pretty much a cliff, so there wasn't much exploring to be done, but we could watch the goings on at the village across the gorge. The other side was less steep, and you can see a temple built into the side of the gorge with paths leading to it. We could watch the villagers make their way slowly down the path past the temple, usually leading their livestock to the river below for a drink. The whole process took about three hours, after which I assume the animals were thirsty again so they'd have to return.
