Friendly
people, great lakeside restaurants, breath-taking scenery and an endless list
of adrenaline activities make traveling to Pokhara a trip to remember and
simply the best stop in Nepal.
Phewa Lake as
a place to go boating, fishing and general bathing in the beautiful Pokhara
sunlight, but I haven't mentioned the copious amount of other appealing
activities on offer in Pokhara.
Firstly,
Pokhara is the place to be if you want to go paragliding. Atop of a monumental
mountain overlooking the city, there are many different companies all providing
the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go paragliding over the perfect scenery.
Lake Phewa, the languid town to the side and the backdrop of mesmerizing
mountains just makes for the perfect aerial glide.
Another
unmissable activity in my eyes would be to hire a motorbike/scooter and drive around
the whole city, in particular up the mountain to get the scintillating views
over the city and to the famous nearby town of Sarangkot that also overlooks
the lake.
The scenery
throughout Nepal is quite simply unrivaled around the globe and it is in
Pokhara, the starting base for tours of the Annapurna Circuit, where you get to
witness some of the finest landscapes and scenery in the world.
At ground
level Lake Phewa always manages to look so absorbing, whether it's in the
intense sunlight, the incredibly romantic sunset or the mysterious hours of
dusk, it's beauty is pure and captivating.
Then from
Sarangkot and the drive up the mountain, or from the position of the
paraglider, the views will make you speechless, like they did me.
The views
will undoubtedly prepare you for the rest of Nepal, a country I couldn't put
more emphasiz on for people to go and visit and bare witness to the majestic
beauty that it contains.
