s:
Sagangkot (1600m), a hill on the western side of Pokhara is famous for the panoramic Himalayan views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu range and the expansive view of the city of Pokhara and the Phewa Lake. Sarangkot is also a popular spot for hiking, paragliding, ziplining and landscape photography. It’s a heaven for Orophile and Aurophile and the best time to be here is during sunrise or sunset.
Pumdikot and the World Peace Pagoda in Pokhara are religious (Hindu and Buddhist), cultural and historical man-made landmarks that sit on the hilltop at 1500 and 1100 meters, respectively, overlooking the Phewa Lake and the Pokhara Valley. These hilltops also offer a wide-angle panorama of the Himalayas that range from Dhaulagiri and its sister peaks on the left, Annapurna and Machhaapuchhre in the middle and Manaslu and Hiunchuli off to the right. Apart from the stunning vistas of Pokhara and the surrounding areas, visiting these places offers spiritual experience and connection to Buddhism and Hinduism.
The caves: Gupteshwor, Mahendra and the Bat cave in Pokhara, are the natural landmarks that add unique character to this beautiful city. Apart from the incredible experience of rock formation, stalactites, stalagmites and underground streams, the spiritual and adventurous atmosphere that these caves offer add a deep layer to your visit.
Devi’s Fall and the Seti Gorge are the two very mysterious and intriguing natural wonders that are located just a short distance from Pokhara. Devi’s Fall, originating from the Phewa Lake dam cascades down into a deep rocky gorge and vanishes into an underground tunnel creating a mysterious and fascinating scene, while the gorge carved by Seti River and surrounded by steep cliffs create a dramatic and impressive landscape offering peaceful natural environment and impressive geological formation for the visitors to enjoy.
