30 minutes from Kathmandu...not much of a welcome sign, but here's what you get landing in Pokhara
Been here for a few days now just relaxing in this lakeside community…..Pokhara is the largest city in the western region of Nepal with approximately 350,000 inhabitants and is situated about 200 km west of the capital Kathmandu. It is the second most populous city in Nepal. Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal with three out of the ten highest mountains in the world: Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Manaslu or Lamjung himal are situated within 50 miles of the city so that the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas. Due to its proximity to the Annapurna mountain range the city is also a base for trekkers undertaking the Annapurna Circuit which has been known to be much more beautiful than the Everest Base Camp trek….Even though it is Nepal’s second largest city, there is nowhere near the hustle and bustle (and smog) that you would find in Kathmandu. It seems much more relaxed and peaceful here (which is great after a long hard trek)… I am staying in the lakeside area of Pokhara which is the main touristy area with all the restaurants, hotels and trek shops lining the main drag along the lake….I really haven’t been doing too much during my stay here…I have seen some of the sights but the main attraction here is trekking in the Annapurna’s and I am done with trekking for now!!!
Main street, Pokhara Lakeside...restaurants, hotels, trek shops...just like Kathmandu!!!

Boats are available for rent to take on the lake....I think I could of got a pretty good deal on one of these...
