In the Nature’s Lap:Discovering Pokhara, Nepal’s Natural Haven
Tucked away in the western part of Nepal, Pokhara is a picturesque lakeside city situated approximately 200 kilometers west of the national capital, Kathmandu. Pokhara, also known as the "swiss lake of Nepal", is nature’s lap, where crystal-clear waters, lush green hills and pristine surroundings come together to create an haven of serenity and tranquility. In recent years, Pokhara has blossomed into a popular tourist destination, attractive not only to nature lovers, adventurists and spiritual seekers but to those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustling city life.
Boating on Phewa Tal: The Heart of Pokhara
Phewa Lake, a stunning turquoise lake bordered by the majestic Himalayan mountains, is the crowning gem of Pokhara. A simple boat ride on Phewa, aptly called "Mirror Lake" due to its reflective perfection, allows visitors to marvel at its surrounding natural beauty. As day gives way to dusk, the boater can witness the sunset casting the whole valley in a warm golden haze. During the full moon cycle, a boat ride on Phewa offers a magical experience, gliding across the water as nightfall descends, with row boats and lights creating ripples on the surface.
Viewpoint of Sarangkot: A Panoramic Gem
Perching at an altitude of 1500 meters, Sarangkot lookout is one of Pokhara’s best-kept secrets. By late afternoon, this vantage point rewards visitors with breathtaking views of an amalgamation of towering Himalays and shimmering lakes. Paragliding enthusiasts can partake in an exhilarating trip with panoramic views of the city and the high mountain peaks.
