Those that are guides or do things with tourists usually speak good English. Tourism is the town's main industry, though only the lakeside road is set up as a tourist center. The rest of the town is fairly typical. You can see in the third picture from the end that the town is pretty large. Most of the people speak some English.

There are lots of adventures that start from here. About half of the tourists that come here go on multiday treks from here, the most popular being about two weeks long into the Annapura mountains.

If not, what language? This town looks very set-up for tourist. Is that their main industry? This looks like a very beautiful unspoiled area. With good weather you should have a great mountain hike!

What a gorgeous sunset. Do the locals travel by boat or just own small boats for fishing, or do you know? Based on the sign in town, it looks like there are plenty of tourist options for adventure. The air bus and safari sound interesting. Have a great time tomorrow on your hike. Love Mom Looks beautiful! What a gorgeous sunset.
