| The
natural beauty of Pokhara in mid-west Nepal is
simply bewitching. Forming the backdrop are the
spectacular Annapurna mountains with the
magnificent fish-tailed Machhapuchhre dominating
the scene. |
 Adding
to Pokhara's enchantment are the 3 serene lakes
of Phewa, Rupa and Begnas. Other places of
interest are: the World Peace Pagoda atop a hill
that provides stunning views of the surroundings,
the Seti Gorge below which spreads Green Canyon,
and Devi's Fall, an awe-inspiring waterfall that
disappears into an underground passage. |
| This
charming town situated around 941 m, is a
tropical valley with soil richly fertile for
rice, tangerines and poinsettias. Pokhara is also
the second biggest tourist destination in Nepal
after Kathmandu, the capital city. It is the
trailhead for trekkers and mountaineers to the
Annapurna region, Jomsom, Mukti Nath, Manang,
Mustang and the Annapurna Sanctuary. |
