Pokhara is the second most popular city of Nepal. It is a city that is popular not just among foreigners but among Nepalese as well. Every year, thousands of local tourists flock to Pokhara to enjoy the beauty of the lakes and the mountains and to participate in various adventure activities, such as paragliding, rock climbing, boating, rafting, and bungee jumping.
The city sits at the base of the grand Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fish Tail) and at the edge of the tranquil Phewa Lake. The lake is the focal point, but the mountains, the rivers, and the forests are all part of the daily experience. In the evenings, as the sun dips behind the peaks, the city takes on a gentle energy. The streets along the lakefront come alive, but in a way that feels laid-back rather than hurried. People gather in small cafés, share meals, or simply sit by the lake and watch the light change. Just spending your day taking a boat ride on the lake, a walk through the countryside, or simply watching the clouds drift over Machhapuchhre alone is worth the price of the trip but Pokhara has so much more to offer. Pokhara is more than just a place of natural beauty. There are so many activities you can do when you are in Pokhara: river rafting, bungee jumping, paragliding, visiting famous places such as Mahendra Cave and David's Fall, etc.
Pokhara’s evolution as a hub for adventurers has brought a certain modernity to the area, but it’s not the kind of modernity that encroaches the nature and culture of the place—rather, they enhance their beauty. There’s a certain simplicity to the accommodations, cafés, and shops that line the main streets—nothing too polished. It has grown steadily over the years, but it still retains a small-town feel, a calm that contrasts sharply with the more frenetic pace of Kathmandu. The streets are filled with a mix of locals going about their daily business, tourists passing through on their way to the trekking routes, and travellers who have settled in for a while, drawn to the peacefulness of the place. The city offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and modernity. It's a place you just cannot afford to miss if you are travelling in Nepal.
