Dear Ann,

               I'm entirely pleased to know that you are going to visit London with your parents during your holidays. You will be enjoying it, won't you? I have been informed your plan since your hearty letter arrived here. I am  intending to share my happiness with you because I am going to visit Pokhara, one of the beauty spots of the country, during my holidays. Let me write how I am going to enjoy it, will you ?

                 During my holidays, I am planning to enjoy the natural beauties and wonders of pokhara with my parents and small brother. Pokhara is not only a place of natural heritages but also the headquarters of western development region of the country. We have already bought the plane tickets to go to pokhara. We wil be staying there for a week.

                  As we reach there, we will go to the central part of the city where there is a bridge called 'mahendra pool' over the seti river. We will enjoy the river watching it because it is said to be one of the wonders of pokhara. Then we will go to 'hotel thakali' where we will be staying at for a week. Next day, we will go to bindyabasini temple early in the morning. I hope we will be blessed blessed there. Then we are going to see mahendra Cave which is said to be extremely strange. We will take some photographs there. After having breakfast, we will go to chamere cave which is very close to mahendra cave. People say that chamere cave is not safe to go into.

     

              On the following days, we will enjoy boating on phewa lake and watching the natural beauty of machhapuchhre mountain from there as well. Similarly, we are intending to visit devis falls, mahadev cave, bagnas lake, rupa lake and other places of interest as well. After a week, we will travel back to Kathmandu by bus. We will be ble to enjoy the places on the way to Kathmandu while traveling by bus.

      

                                     Looking forward to getting your next letter very soon.

                                                                                                                                         Yours,

                                                                                                                                       Radhika

Dear Emily,

   

             Thank you for writing to me. I am very happy as I've come to know your plan to visit my native town. I heartily invite you to come to my house. I'm eager to welcome you. I'll mention some direction for how to reach my residence.

    

                 As you reach at the bus park , you will see a big film hall named Ganesh Chalchitra Mandir in front of you. As you pass the film hall, turn on your right and go head until you reach at a roundabout. Then take the second turning on your left and continue your steps foe a while; you will meet a junction. Then turn right and go ahead passing some shops on our right. After a while, you will see pasang roundadout. Go round it and take the second turning on your left. Pass a big temple on your right and keep-on going until you reach Advanced Boarding school on your left. Just beside the school, there is a yello coloured building. I will be on the first floor of it.

  

               I'll include a rough map of the route which you have to follow to get to my house.

                            

                                      Looking forward to meeting you as soon as possible.

                                                                                                                             With best regards,

                                                                                                                                     Anamika
