City Guide Pokhara: Sightseeing, Pokhara, Nepal

Relax in peaceful Pokhara, where after a day exploring, you can stretch out in the sunshine around a huge lake. Shisha lounges, pizzerias, Internet cafes, pool bars, cheap restaurants and German bakeries are situated in the streets. After the chaotic life of Kathmandu, stopping by in Pokhara felt extremely relaxing, making it very hard to leave.

Pokhara lists endless adventures. You can go rafting on the rivers, mountain biking through the amazing nature, paragliding over the beautiful lake, renting a boat and paddling through the tranquil waters, do some ultra light flying or bungee jumping, hiking to the World Piece Pagoda or you can bring a visit to the Devi’s waterfall or one of the magnificent caves. My favorite day in Pokhara was when we caught a boat and paddled over the Fewa Lake to the other side of the lake. From there on we made an one hour hike up to the World Peace Pagoda and from up there, you will have an amazing view over Pokhara. When the weather is clear, you can even see the Himalayas around the city. There are a couple of small local cafes just along the ridge from the Peace Pagoda where you can enjoy a coffee or some food. After a visit to the Pagoda, we continued our way down on the other side of the hill. Down there, we visited the Gupteshwor Mahadev cave, Davis Falls and the Robotic Buddha Museum. ......
