Pokhra Valley Travel Guide

---

Pokhara, an enchanting city nestled in the tranquil valley (827m), is the starting point for many of Nepal's most popular trekking and rafting destinations. It is one of the most picturesque spots of Nepal.


The beauty of the valley is enhanced by its lovely lakes Phewa, Begnas and Rupa which have their source in the glacial region of the Annapurna ranges of the Himalaya. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the fish-tail summit of Machchhapuchhre (6,977m) rising behind it create an ambience of peace and magic.


The valley surrounding Pokhara is home to thick forests, gushing rivers, clear lakes and the world famous views of the Himalaya .


Situated 200 Km west of Kathmandu, Pokhara is connected by air as well as by road from Kathmandu and Bhairawa, a border town near India. Pokhara offers magnificent views of Dhaulgiri, Manaslu, Machchha puchhre, five peaks of Annapurna and others.
