Pokhara .. From here begins the adventure to the Himalayas

Weather of Arabia - It is the second largest city in Nepal , but it is called the capital of adventure, because it is the starting point for adventurous travelers on their journeys through most of the hiking and discovery trails in the Annapurna region in the middle of the Himalayas and the highest mountain ranges.

How to reach Pokhara?

Pokhara is about 200 km from Kathmandu, you can travel by tourist buses at 7 in the morning or via night buses but the journey will be very strenuous, and it is better to use buses during the day because you will pass through a road full of many backwaters and wonderful views of the hills and the Nepalese rural lifestyle .

For more comfortable travel and the possibility of stopping at these sights, there are many travel agents in Thamel district in the capital city of Kathmandu that provide transfer services to Pokhara by private car and the price depends on the trip and not on the number of people. There are also airlines that operate regular flights between the two cities, through which you will get a bird's eye view of the Nepalese countryside and the panoramic mountains.

What after reaching Pokhara?

It is a fairly small town and can be easily discovered on foot, or by renting motorbikes from the many shops on the lake front to reach the village of Sarangkot on the western side, which has very charming views of its hills on the Annapurna Mountains. Or to the Shanti Stupa of Universal Peace Pagoda on the Annadu Hill, with another amazing view as well.

Pokhara is full of crystal lakes and imaginary waterfalls, the most important of which is Fewa Lake west of Pokhara, which is one of the most beautiful sites in Nepal. The Pangas, Rupa and Debang lakes are outside the city and away from the crowds with some basic hotels. As for the Devi Falls, its waters carved a vertical tunnel that today has become a majestic destination that fills with visitors every day.

As already mentioned, Pokhara is the gateway for trekking to Annapurna, so hiking trips through the many suggested trails are the most important activities you can do, not to mention boating in one of the flat lakes or kayaking in the white waters of the falls.
