Pokhara<\/h3>\n

Pokhara\u2019s tranquil beauty has been the subject of inspiration for many travel writers. Its pristine air, spectacular backdrop of snowy peaks, blue lakes and surrounding greenery make it \u2018the jewel in the Himalaya\u2019, a place of remarkable natural disposition. With the magnificent Annapurna range forming the backdrop and the serenity of the\u00a0Cluster of 9 Lakes<\/a>\u00a0with three major ones – Phewa, Rupa and Begnas \u2013 Pokhara is a great destination for a weekend getaway as well as a long relaxing holiday. Pokhara Valley, gateway to the Annapurna region where many a trekker finds his Shangri-la, sits high on the list of \u2018must visit\u2019 places in Nepal.<\/p>\n

Pokhara once lay on the important trade route between India and Tibet. To this day, mule trains set up camps on the city outskirts, bringing goods from remote Himalayan regions including Mustang. Gurungs and Magars, who have earned world-wide fame as fierce Gurkha warriors, are predominant here. Thakalis, indigenous of the Thak Khola region of\u00a0Mustang<\/a>, are known for their entrepreneurship and run tea houses along the trek routes in the\u00a0Annapurna region<\/a>. The Pokhara is best known for the stunning view of the Annapurna range. It is perhaps one of the few places on earth from where mountains above 6,000 m can be seen unobstructed from an altitude of 800 m within the distance of 28 km.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
