Pashupatinath:
Just a small walk takes you to the temple of Lord Shiva-Pasupatinath
with a two tiered golden roof and silver doors. This structure is famous
for its superb Newari architecture, situated near the banks of the
sacred Bagmati River. Entrance to the temple precinct is permitted to
the �Hindus Only�, however visitors can clearly see the temple from the
eastern bank of the Bagmati River. Pashupati, literally, �Lord of the
Animals� is the patron deity of Nepal and believed to have been
unearthed by an obscure herdsman while one of his cattle was showering
the earth with milk. Across the sacred river, above the array of
decorated monuments, is the �Slasmantak or Mrigasthali Ban (forest)�
where legends has it that Lord Siva dwelled in a form of an antelope to
evade the hordes of demigods.
Bouddhanth:
This colossal and ancient Stupa, one of Nepal�s most unique monuments and
said to be the world's biggest, attracts Nepalese pilgrimage of Tibetan
stock from as far as Dolpo and Mugu as well as Tibet, Ladhak in India
and Bhutan. Baudhanath Stupa, with all seeing eyes of primordial Adi
Buddha on all the four sides of the stupa, is said to hold the remains
of Kasyapa - the Buddha of the previous time.The Stupa is 100 meters in
diameter and was built on an octagonal base. Inset into the base are
prayer wheels established by the Lichchivi King Mana Deva in the fifth
century. The stupa rises to 36 meters above the base including the
spire, �all seeing eyes� and the pinnacle represents the stages of
enlightenment, symbol of royalty, compassion, knowing and nirvana. There
are many myths about the origins of the stupa. We'll have lunch here

Devi's Falls (Patale Chhango) :
Pokhara is the only city in Nepal
which is famous for water falls. As we drive by the river sides below
the hills we can see several beautiful and dashing water falls flowing
downhill and finally flowing to the rivers. The highway to Baglung
consist of several water falls. The city itself has a beautiful
waterfall within itself and it is known as Davis Fall (In Nepali: Patale
chango):
This is a
breath taking view of Davis Fall in Chorrepatan. Chorrepatan is famous
for this water fall and there is also a cave just two minutes walk from
this fall. The water flowing in this fall comes from Fewa lake and the
fall is worth visiting during the rainy seasons as it possesses its
maximum velocity.
Pokhara is
famous for mountains. But this is not only the thing that has made
Pokhara popular. Davis fall is also one of the main tourist attraction
center here in Pokhara. Davis fall is open every day of the week for the
visitors. The ticket cost is very cheap and it is worth visiting.
This snap also
features Davis Fall during the Winter season. During winter there is a
mass decrease in the water volume of the Fewa Lake hence the Dam is
closed to maintain the water volume within the Fewa Lake. This causes
the Davis Fall in maximum decrement in its water volume. The
corresponding snap features the rock formation made by the high velocity
of the water flowing within it.
This snap
features the Davis fall during the rainy season. The excess water in
Fewa lake needs to be drained hence the dam is open during summer and
this makes Davis fall much more vigrous. Davis fall is worth visiting
during the rainy and summer seasons. This high velocity of water has
created different type of rock formation as shown in the above snap.
Day 06 : Day at leisure at Pokhara.

Pokhara is the finest natural city of the
world. It is Nepal's tourism capital and the
second largest tourist destination too. Pokhara
is famous for its natural beauty and close view
of Himalays. The world highest peaks like
Annapurna 1st. Dhaulagiri and Manaslu can be
seen very close. These peaks can also be viewed
from a luxury hotel room. About 30% of the total
arrivals of tourist visit Pokhara. Pokhara is
also said a lake city of Nepal. There are more
than seven beautiful lakes all are linked by a
trekking trail.
It is a beautiful waterfall formed from
the outlet of Fewa Lake. Why it is named Davi's
fall might be the matter of interest. Trekkers
named Devin and David one day had their bath
down to the Fewa dam but unknowingly the doors
of the dam opened to reduce the water level.
Both the trekkers did not notice the signal to
run away and sadly they were washed way and one
of them mysteriously disappeared down into the
underground passage beneath the fall. Since then
the fall was
named Davi's fall. It is worth visiting site of
Pokhara.
Sarangkot is a small hill on the north west side
of Pokhara. It is the best place for sunrise and
Mountain View like Machhapuchre (Fishtail),
Annapurna range, and Dhaulagiri range, Lamjung
Himal, Manaslu and the Ganesh Himal. Tourists
reach there early in the morning to view the
rolling sunrise and the dazzling mighty snow
peaks in the morning tender sun.
Fewa Lake is the finest lake of Nepal. It
is 41/2km long and 200m to 1km width. Boating on
the lake is an exciting and most interesting
moment. In the middle there is an island where
Barahi temple is located. Every day thousands of
visitors visit the temple. Surrounded by the
green forest and lakeside city, Fewa lake
reflects the beautiful images of Machhachapuchre.
Begnas
lake is located 13km east of Pokhara city. This
lake is in a round shape and is surrounded by
green hills. On the north beautiful Annapuran
fourth Himal is overlooking the lake. While
boating on the lake the images of the mountain
is seen into the lake. There is regular buses
and taxis service to Beganas lake and cycling
also is also popular.
Seti River is originated from the beautiful
mountain the Machhapuchre Himal.
The water is milky white and cool. The river
before entering into the Pokhara city has been
disappeared into a narrow natural tunnel and has
appeared in some places. It is another natural
wonder of Pokhara. Its width is hardly 2 meters
and the depth is more than 20 meters but you can
not see the bottom of the river. Mahendra Pul
(bridge) is the right pace to view the dreadful
rush of the river through a narrow gorge.
South of the Pokhara valley there is a beautiful
cave. The cave has different branches but the
end has not yet been met. The main part of the
cave is some 20m down. The bottom is wide and
spacious. There is an image of Lord Shiv. One of
the branch of the cave goes towards the Devi's
fall and after a 20 meters easy walk one can
reach near the fall. It is a very wonderful
moment to stand just below the fall inside the
cave. Gupteshor Mahadev cave is a religious site
for the Hindus. Many Hindu devotees visit the
cave in different occasions.
It is
located on the north of Pokhara valley some 10km
from the city center. This is the most popular
cave of Nepal It is also unexplored. There has
been made necessary arrangement for the visitor
with service of the guides. Nearby the cave
there is another cave named Chamere cave or the
bat cave where hundreds of bats are live. Both
caves are worth visiting.
It is one of finest piece of sight seeing
destination in Pokhara. Located on a small
hilltop, world peace stupa is the best place to
view the Himalaya range just in front of your
eye. Overlooking the Fewa Lake the stupa site is
well managed. The access is easy and both
options trekking for one hour and driving are
available to reach the stupa.
On the
northeast side of Pokhara valley, Kahu Dada is
another viewpoint center of Pokhara. There is a
tower to view the mountain range and the valley.
It is the best option for a day hike. It takes
about 2 hours gentle walk to reach the hilltop
through villages and bushes.
Among
of the entire sight seeing destinations in
Pokhara IMO is the newly opened destination.
Located on the south east of Pokhara city IMO is
only one mountain museum in the world of its
kind where mountaineering history including the
climbing information and climbers' details are
preserved and displayed. For the interested one
an artificial wall of mount Manaslu has also
been constructed. The meseum has preserved the
climbing records and equipments of all the

Located right in the city center, Bindabasini is
the popular pilgrimage site of Hindus. On a
small hill the temple is beautifully locates and
maintained. It is the best site of Pokhara to
experience the Nepalese religious belief.
In the fiftieth decade many Tibetan refuge had
inflexed into Nepal. They are settled in
different part of the country. In Pokhara there
are four Tibetan refuge camps. All these camps
today are like the Tibetan villages where they
are maintaining Tibetan culture, tradition and
lifestyle. To experience the Tibetan culture at
