One of the joys of this trip was the place names, which always seemed to put a smile on my face.
Surely you jest! Everyone within many miles of this place has a view of the Himalayas. But I don’t recall any other place using the name.I wonder how good the view is hereIf you can’t get to heaven from here, at least you can view it.This name is pretty creative, but what does it mean?“Mona Lisa” was a popular hotel name.You won’t realize this from my photos, but the most commonly cited godess seemed to be Laxmi.How many locals know what Florida is? This was not the only place named after Florida.If you’re looking to see a snow leopard, you’ve come to the right country but perhaps not the right spot within it.What better place for a trekker to stay? BTW, I liked the pattern in the stone walls.The Bob Marley Hotel is next to the huge Buddha in Lower Pisang. There is another one in Muktinath. I suspect the two are unrelated.I wonder what that white mountain might be in the background.Not another Mona Lisa.This entire trek was in the Annapurna region. I would think many more hotels would be named for it. But what do I know?Marco Polo must have slept here. Other hotels carry his name as well.This was not the only place with “boomerang” in it’s name. Remember: Nepal is much closer to Australia than it is to the US. Come to think of it, I forgot to pack my boomerang, so perhaps the Hiker’s Gues0t House might be more suitable.North Pole? I must be lost.Let me see. What exactly is the name of this hotel?In addition to a guaranteed supurb view, this is “probably the best hotel in town.”You didn’t expect Nepal to have a Hilton Hotel?In addition to the hotel name, the sign below it contains many interesting features, starting with the Westren Toilet.What do you think? Should we stop here?Wow! That sounds interesting. We’ve got to stop there.This hotel mst have hired excelient sign makersYet another Nice View
