At a Glance

    Pokhara is a paradise for everyone, as one can see its heavenly surroundings with beautiful snow-capped mountains, and a magnificent lake of crystal clear pure Himalayan water. Pokhara is situated 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu, at an altitude of 827 meters from sea level. This is one of the picturesque spots in Nepal. It is linked both by Air and by road from Kathmandu and the Indian border Sunauli. Pokhara offers magnificent views of the mountains namely-- Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, Manaslu, and the five peaks of Annapurna among others. This is one of the few places that provide such a dramatic view in a sub-tropical setting. The nearest snow-capped mountain - Fishtail is less than 30 kilometers from Pokhara. The lakes around the valley offer tourists various activities like fishing, boating, and swimming. Therefore, the tour in Pokhara is to have fond in life. Pokhara is the second-largest valley after Kathmandu in Nepal. You can have a scenic mountain flight or drive approximately 5 to 6 hours to get to this valley. It is famous for its lakes and views of the magnificent Himalayan peaks, like many temples and stupas. We recommend a tour to Pokhara for those who would like to break away as they go boating in the calm and serene waters of the Phewa Lake, or take day hikes in nearby hills and, if time permits, short treks into the Himalayas.

    Phewa Lake: The city is situated on the shores of Phewa Lake, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. You can take a boat ride on the lake or simply relax by its shores.

    Sarangkot: A popular spot for sunrise and sunset views, Sarangkot provides panoramic vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. It's also a popular spot for paragliding.

    Devi's Fall: This is a unique waterfall where the water disappears into an underground tunnel. It is also known as Patale Chango.

    Gupteshwor Cave: Located near Devi's Fall, this cave has a sacred underground waterfall and numerous shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities.

    Bindhyabasini Temple: Situated on a small hill, this Hindu temple offers panoramic views of the city and the mountains. It's a sacred place dedicated to the goddess Bindhyabasini.

    World Peace Pagoda: A Buddhist stupa situated on a hill overlooking Phewa Lake, offering not only spiritual vibes but also spectacular views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

    Tal Barahi Temple: Located on an island in Phewa Lake, this two-story pagoda-style temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Barahi.

    Museums and Galleries: Explore the International Mountain Museum to learn about the culture, history, and geology of the Himalayas. The Gurkha Museum is also worth a visit to understand the history of the Gurkha soldiers.

    Adventure Activities: Pokhara is a hub for adventure seekers. You can engage in activities like paragliding, zip-lining, trekking, and mountain biking. The Annapurna region offers various trekking options, from short hikes to longer treks like the Annapurna Circuit.

    Local Cuisine: Don't forget to try the local Nepali cuisine. You can find a variety of dishes, including momo (dumplings), dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), and various local delicacies
