Excursion of Pokhara

An enchanting Himalayan Valley. If Kathmandu is the hub of Nepal, then Pokhara is its center of adventure & is one of the most picturesque spot of Nepal. The beauty of Pokhara is enhanced by its lovely lakes, which have their source in the glacial region of the Annapurna range of the Himalayas. Situated at 200 km to the west of Kathmandu at an altitude of 827 meter from the sea level, for the mountain viewers Pokhara offers a magnificent view of Dhaulagiri, Machapuchre (fishtail), five peaks of Annapurna and others. Pokhara is the only place in the world to provide such a dramatic views in a sub-tropical setting. Machapuchre, for example, is only 28 km from Phewa Lake and not a single mountain range intervenes between the two.

Phewa Lake

Phewa Lake, the second largest lake in the Country, is the center of all attraction in Pokhara. It is the largest and most enchanting of the three lakes that add to the resplendence of Pokhara.  One can sail or row a  boat across to the water or visit the island temple in its middle.

Nepal's most popular trek begins at the lakeside town of Pokhara and takes six or seven days leading to the north-west, around the Annapurna massif. Through dramatic changes in landscape, climate and culture of the high village of Jomsom, near Mustang, trekkers often continue on to the sacred shrine of Muktinath, near the 5,415 - meter Thorang-La pass and down into the lovely valley of Manang. The route through Manang circles the Annapurna back to the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway. The Annapurna circuit takes one through terraced hills, forests and alpine pastures and through the villages of a number of different ethnic groups. To the north of Pokhara is the Annapurna Sanctuary, tucked beneath the southern slopes of the Annapurna massif. The Sanctuary is an easy trek from Pokhara and takes one through some of Nepal's most lovely rhododendron forests. There are also numerous one or two day treks out of Pokhara, where one can have views of Dhaulagiri, the Annapurna range, Manaslu and Ganesh Himal
