The Pokhara valley is one of
the picturesque spots of Nepal. Few places in the world might have a splendid variety of
natural beauty crammed into one small area like the valley of Pokhara, the headquarters of
Western Development Region. It is known as "Dream Land". It is a Rara
combination of the long arrays of snowclad peaks, crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers
with deep gorges and picturesque villages inhabited by simple and friendly ethic people.
The most dominant ethic group is the "Gurungs". The Gurungs are one of
the main component of Gorkha Soldiers- the Gorkha is known as "the brave"
worldwide.
The
beauty of the valley is enhances by its lovely lakes Phewa. Begnas and Rupa, which have
their source in the glacier region of the Mt. Annapurna Range of the Himalayas. Pokhara is
situated at the lap of the panoramic Annapurna Himal and 200 Kilometers west of Kathmandu,
at an altitude of 900m. from the sea level. All major cities including Gorkha within the
Kingdom have regular to and from bus services and connect by air as well. RNAC and other
private airlines operate 2-3 regular flight, between KTM-PKR-KTM. The flight taking only
35 minutes proceeds all along the western Himalayan range which comes to view through the
right hand windows of the plane.
For mountain viewers Pokhara offers
the magnificent views of Mt. Dawalagiri, Himalchuli, Machhapuchhre, five peaks of
Annapurna and others.
Pokhara is first and foremost a
convenient point for mountain-oriented sight-seeing. Mt.Annapurna, literally meaning
"the Goddess of Abundant Harvest", lies at a horizontal distance of 40 km. From
the valley of Pokhara which is at an elevation of just 900m. The moment you step into nay
part of Pokhara including the airport, the first thing that takes you to immediate delight
is the gorgeous view of the gigantic mountains. Pokhara offers an excellent opportunity
for sight-seeing.
Pokhara is one of the few places in
the world to provide such a dramatic views in a sub-tropical setting. Mt. Machhapurchhre
for example, is only 28 km. From Hotel on Phewa Lake, and not a single mountain range
intervenes between the two. Pokharas numerous lakes known as "Tal" in
Nepal offer fishing, boating, and swimming. Luxury and comfortable accommodations are
available in Pokhara
We have licensed English, French and
German speaking guides for the convinces of tourists. We specialized in handing the sight
seeing programmes. Pokhara offers an excellent opportunity for sight seeing. Pony trekking
facilities is also available in Pokhara.
Sprawling over the north-east side
of legendary Phewa lake, west of the airport and the down town area of Mahendra Pul, there
are several hotels, lodges and restaurants catering to tourists of various tastes and
standards.
A little beyond the south peak in
the background lies Annapurna-I (8,091 m). The most imposing pyramidal peak in almost
central foreground is Mt. Machhapuchhre. Slightly east and back of this peak lies
Annapurna-III which almost looks like the back of a camel.
Between Annapurna-III and the next
mountain with characteristic rocky right flank which is Annapurna-II (7937 m) lies
Annapurna-IV.
Separated from the main massif of
the Annapurnas, one mighty mountain appears on the right; Lamjung Himal (6983 m). Finally
in the east Manaslu and Himalchuli can be spotted.
The change of color over the massif
from purple to pink to red during the moment of sunrise can easily lift your heart.
Pokhara is a city of fine lakes with
crystalline water.
Phewa Tal
Phewa Tal in the
immediate vicinity of the city is Phewa Tal with an island temple dedicated to Goddess
Barahi in the middle. With its serene water reflecting the Annapurna range and a nicely
preserved forest on the adjoining southern slope, this legendary second largest lake of
the kingdom remains a major source of attraction for the visiting tourists. It can be
explored in canoes locally known as doongas which are available on rent at several points
on the lake. This lake can also be enjoyed by swimming and fishing.
Begnas
& Rupa Tal
These twin lakes
lie in the north-east to Pokhara valley about 15 km away from the airport. The road to
Begnas follows Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway as far as Sisuwa near the police check post and
branches off the road towards north. It is possible to take a bus ride to the damside of
Begnas from the city.
Begnas and Rupa lakes are less
frequented by people than Phewa. Their setting are calmer and more sylvanic. The small
hill called Pachbaiya which separates the two lakes can be reached in 30 minutes on the
foot from the Begnas bus stop. From a convenient point on this hill you can overlook the
twin lakes on either side. A terrific view of the long arrays of mountains is another
attraction of this hill. These two lakes provide opportunity for fishing, canoeing, sun
bathing and bird watching.
River Gorges
The Seti River
carves a deep course throughout the city area of Pokhara from Bagar. The deep gorge can be
viewed from any bridge over the Seti River: K.I. Singh Bridge at Bager, Mahendra bridge at
downtown and Prithvi Highway bridge near the bus part. Looking down these bridges you can
see the white turbulent flow of the Seti through an incredibly narrow cannon about 46 m.
below.
Day Hikes
All nearby hills
such as Sarangkot, Kahun Danda, Phoksing Danda of Pokhara are equally good for day hikes.
