Besides the panoramic views of the Annapurna Range and Machhapuchhre peak, there are countless places to see at Pokhara, all of which are equally fascinating. This is why we decided to help you out by listing all the glorious places you shouldn’t miss to see on your trip to Pokhara for the WordCamp.
Davis Falls
Also known as Patale Chhango, this waterfall marks the point where the Pardi Khola stream vanishes underground. When the stream is at full bore after monsoon rains, the sound of the water plunging over the falls is deafening. The falls are about 2 km southwest of the airport on the road to Butwal, just before the Tashi Ling Tibetan camp.
Sarangkot
Sarangkot is famous for the view of the sunrise and the mountains. It offers breathtaking views of the entire valley, Hemja Village, Fewa Lake, Taal Brahi temple and many more.
There’s also a ruined fort at Kaskikot (1788m), a one-hour walk west of Sarangkot along the ridge road, with similarly jaw-dropping views.
International Mountain Museum
This expansive museum is devoted to the mountains of Nepal, the mountaineers who climbed them and the people who call them home. Eight of the world’s tallest mountains are located in Nepal. The international mountain museum has photographic details as well as information of the people who have conquered these mountains.
