Pokhara

Pokhara is a must-see if you're traveling to Nepal. Its spectacular scenery, adventure activities, and wide range of accommodation and dining options make it a perfect place to visit. Pokhara is said to be a laid-back version of Kathmandu's Thamel neighborhood, set on the shores of a tranquil lake. Its thriving adventure sports industry also makes it a top choice for paragliding and rafting. It also boasts the impressive Annapurna massif as a spectacular backdrop. The most prominent peak is the iconic Machhapuchhare, whose triangular shape casts a long shadow over the city. Machhapuchhare remains Nepal's only unspoiled mountain and is prohibited from climbing.
