POKHARA VALLEY
Pokhara, an enchanting city nestled in the tranquil
valley, 200 km west of Kathmandu situated at the
altitude of 827 m. is the starting point of Nepal’s
many most popular trekking and rafting destinations.
The valley surrounding Pokhara is home to thick
forests, gushing rivers, clear lakes and Himalayas.
The majestic Machhapuchre (Fishtail) reflects in the
serenity of Phewa Lake. Rising behind it create an
ambience of peace and magic. The valley is renowned
for the close ups offer of the seemingly nearby peaks
and magnificent views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu,
Machhapuchre, Annapurna and others. The Pokhara
valley; with subtropical climate and heavy monsoon
rainfall is lush with vegetation. There is a wide
choice of trails in the mountains around the valley,
the most famous being the Royal Trek, which once was
hiked by the Prince of Wales: Charles.
Sarangkot (1590 m) (Optional)
Sarangkot, the highest point of Pokhara Valley on the
ridge north of Phewa Tal, is by far the most popular
of the mountain viewpoints around Pokhara. The peaks
appear even closer from here than from the Peace
Pagoda, though not quite, as many of them are visible.
Sarangkot's popularity stems mainly from the fact that
it has been on the tourist map a lot longer than the
Peace Pagoda has and perhaps because it has a
substantial little village near the top that can
provide lodging - many people hike up in the
afternoon, spend the night and then catch the views
first thing the next morning. As with the hike to the
Peace Pagoda, there are various routes to the top and
at least one route further along the ridge once you
are up there. You can also cycle up, potentially
making this the first stop on a longer cycle trek.
Day Four-
Phewa Lake:
Phewa is a second largest lake in Pokhara Valley. It
is the centre and most enchanting of the three lakes
that add to the resplendence of Pokhara. Here, one can
sail or row a hired boat across to the water or visit
the island temple in its middle. The eastern shore
popularly known as lakeside or Baidam is the favorite
home base for travellers.
Barahi Temple:
The Barahi temple is the most important monument in
Pokhara Built almost in the center of Phewa Lake, this
two-storied pagoda is dedicated to the boar
manifestation of Ajima the protector’s deity
representing the female force Shakti. Devotees can be
seen, especially on Saturdays, carrying male animals
and fowl across the lake to be sacrificed to the
deity.
Day Five-
PM: Pashupatinath is one of the four most important
religious sites in Asia for Shiva devotees.
Pashupatinath, dedicated to Shiva the Destroyer, is
the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destination in Nepal.
Although the Pashupatinath Temple was only built in
the fifth century and later renovated by Malla kings,
the holy site is said to have existed from the
beginning of the millennium. A gold-plated roof, four
silver doors, and woodcarvings of the finest quality
decorate the pagoda temple of Pashupatinath. Temples
dedicated to several other Hindu and Buddhist deities
surround the temple of Pashupatinath. Nearby is the
temple of Guheshwori dedicated to Shiva's consort Sati
Devi. Behind the temple is the River Bagmati. On the
banks of Bagmati are raised platforms used as
cremation sites for Hindus. Only Hindus are allowed
inside the Pashupatinath courtyard.
Bouddhanath is the center of Tibetan culture in Nepal.
The 36 m. high stupa of Bouddhanath is one of the
largest stupa in South Asia. Licchavi rulers renovated
Bouddhanath Stupa in the eighth century. The mandala
design in Bouddhanath is a copy of the one in Gyangtse
in Tibet. The stupa is located in the area of ancient
trade route to Tibet where Tibetan merchants rested
and offered prayers for many centuries. The stupa is
said to entomb the remains of a Kasyap sage venerable
both to Buddhists and Hindus.
Day Six-
