| Pokhara Valley Map |
Pokhara Valley (800m.) lies
200 kms. west of Kathmandu, enriched
with gorgeous lakes and surrounded by picturesque mountains Annapurna Himalaya
range .
Pokhara has always been a
favorite among tourists visiting Nepal, to get away from the hustle and bustle
of the capital to a peaceful setting, to relax by the lake side or take a
hiking trip around the valley, with routes available to suit everyone's needs,
ability and preferences.
The valley is about 35
minutes abroad a plane or about 7 hours drive on a luxury bus. The city itself
is divided into two zones - the lakeside and the bazaar area. The lakeside lies
around the Phewa Tal, where most of the hotels, restaurants and tourist stores
are concentrated. It is a place to relax before and after a long trek around
the Annapurna range. One can just rent a boat and spend the whole day in the
lake, sunbathing.
As the jumping grounds for
trekking, the stores around the lake carries all the necessary equipment needed
for such trips, plus it is a good place to buy souvenirs to take back home.
Pokhara also has the immigration office, one of the two in the country from
where trekking permits can be obtained and visas extend.
Pokhara has some interesting
sites with religious significance like Varahi temple in the middle of the lake
and Binde Basini Temple in the city, atop a small hill. Like the Tibetan refuse
camp in Kathmandu, Pokhara has its share of settlements, where Tibetan arts and
handmade carpets can be shopped. Another one of Pokhara's attraction is the
David's Fall. The best way to see the valley is pedaling on a rental cycle.
