Pokhara
The city
of Pokara is renowned for its setting rather than its historical or
cultural endowments. Its quiet lakeside location and proximity to
the mountains mean it is an ideal place for recovering from (or
gearing up for) a trek, taking leisurely strolls or simply putting
your nose in a good book. And wouldn't you know it, Pokhara has some
of the country's best accommodation and restaurants as well. There's
a batch of Tibetan settlements, a hilltop monastery
and the pretty Devi Falls nearby. Day walks can be taken to
Sarangkot (1592m), the limestone caves at Mahendra Gufa or Rupa and
Begnas Tals lakes. More exertion (but not much more) is required to
tackle the three to four-day Annapurna Skyline Trek.
There are daily flights between
Pokhara and Kathmandu. For Himalayan views sit on the right-hand
side if you're heading to Pokhara and the left if heading to
Kathmandu. The bus trip between the two towns takes about eight
hours.
