We took a photo of these young children on a homemade swing. After the photo I asked Connor to look for a small toy to give them. Pretty soon he had a group of about six children all gathered around his backpack saying ‘sweet, sweet.’ Fortunately we had some sweets to give them.
We passed a grandfather holding his little granddaughter and then he put her into a traditional basket bassinet that was attached to a beam so it could swing. 
We had really wanted a donkey bell as a momento but hadn’t gotten one along the way. Near the end we managed to find a pack of donkeys that were used for trekking. They all had bells so we looked around for the nicest one we could find. After finding it, we sent Rajan to find the herdsman and he came back so we could make an offer. After some back and forth, we managed to take the bell right off the donkey for 600 rupees (80 rupees per $). 
After packing up the van we drove back to Pohkara for a final lunch with our crew. Above is the traditional dal baht.
While waiting for our flight back to Kathmandu, we met a local Nepalese man who does search and rescue on Mount Rainier. It was fascinating to hear about his adventures.
