Kathmandu, the city of temples and Pokhara, the city of lakes, have the highlights that will have a lasting impact on you. The latter is a paradise for you because it meets your expectations naturally. Everything therein matches to your expectations, and these are the hidden delights of Pokhara actually. Definitely, you would love to capture all the forms of unique city life, and old historical monuments that echo the rich ideas of the ancient Nepalese architectures at least sometimes in your life. Each of these is completely different from what you have unearthed in your previous tour outside Nepal and from the kind of inspiration that you have got from previous natural beauties in other parts of the world. AFTER ALL, NEPAL IS UNIQUE. For example, the towering mountains that are eye-catching and mind-blowing stretch in front of you. Oversized and secluded, they look unique because they are nestled between the hills and your hotel.
In the midst of the attractions, Pokhara is a great city of be in. It is not only a city to stroll but also the perfect city which has the backdrop of the Annapurna Ranges, and which is followed by must see travel places like Bindabasini temple, world peace stupa, and mountain museum. All you have to be is ready to enjoy their glories, and you got to be in action.
It has always been the best decision to visit Sarangkot, a viewpoint, as well as highlight, which has an altitude of 1600 m, and it has always received an endorsement because it offers a panoramic view of mountains, such as Dhaulagiri (8167m), Machhapuchhare (6997m), Annapurna II (7937m) and Lamjung (6983m), and it also shows the place that houses the beautiful Pokhara Valley. Much say about is the outstanding view of sunrise and sunset that you see from Sarangkot, which is once in a life time experience.
