Destination Pokhara, Nepal
Five things to do
1. Admire: Surrounded by magnificent views of the Himalayas, this city of lakes has long been a popular tourism destination in Nepal. The Seti Gandaki (White River), flows through and under the city, along gorges and canyons. One of the main attractions is Davi’s Falls, which forms an underground tunnel. The shores and restaurants around Phewa Lake, in the heart of the city, are the perfect spot to relax. On a small island in Phewa Lake is the Tal Barahi temple, considered sacred by Hindus. The World Peace Pagoda (Shanti Stupa), one of the largest stupas (Buddhist structures), represents the heart and soul of Pokhara – peace and serenity.
A day’s trek away is the heritage village of Ghandruk. It provides breathtaking views of the Machapuchare and Himchuli mountains. Mahendra Gufa and Chameri (Bat) Gufa are among the largest limestone caves in Nepal.
