Trekking is absolutely amazing, especially in the majestic settings of Pokhara. An array of short routes with undemanding ups and downs branches off along the trails inside the valley making it suitable for the trekkers of all kinds: from the busiest bees to the grey dads. Even if you are afraid of high altitudes, Pokhara keeps you in a safe position to rumble around in the Himalayan backdrop.
A city of lakes, a city of mountains or a city of temples and gumbas: whatever you say spell out for Pokhara. With the mountains fencing the valley and rivers streaming along the deep flabbergasting gorges, Pokhara has pleased almost every holidaymakers’ trip. The valley is enriched by the royal history of Kingdom of Kaski and encapsulates wide range of cultural amenities. Above all, Fewa lake with its pristine dormant water sustains the Pokhara in a peaceful environment.
