Lounging by the lakeside

The most laid-back activity on our list, enjoy your vacation and watch your stresses melting away as you lounge by the lake. You can take walks, bike rides, shop and even compose poetry with the lake as your muse. Try to capture the perfect reflection of the Annapurna range on the lake, on a camera.

Aarati

In every evening, you can watch Aarati which is a Hindu ceremony in which lights are lit and offered up to gods. The small space that overlooks the Barahi Temple sees hundreds of people—devotees, passers-by, tourists. Small benches are also available to sit if you reach early.

According to Hindu rituals, aarati is performed in remembrance of deities and to realize their greatness. The flame that the priests rotate in a circular fashion has a pious implication. The aarati platter has lighted wicks, which the devotees reach out and press gently against their forehead. The glowing lights are meant to chase away the darkness and welcome happiness and prosperity. While performing the ritual, one should not let their mind wander and must remain focused on visualizing god. It is also seen as a medium to express gratitude and forgiveness.

Breakfast at hotel

After breakfast full day sightseeing tour of Pokhara consists of: White Stupa, David’s fall, Gupteswor Cave,

Davi’s Fall

David’s falls is an amazing waterfall in Pokhara which is nearly 500 feet long and runs 100 feet below ground level. It is also known as Patale Chhango which means the underwater world. According to local old people, on 31st July 1961, a Swiss couple Davi went swimming but the woman drowned in a pit. Since that day the place is known as Davi’s falls. The source of the waterfall is Phewa Lake and the fall itself is named after Swiss lady who was swept away by the fall in 1961. The fall cuts through the rocks to create complex caves and tunnels on its path.

Ghupteshwaor Cave: The cave was allegedly discovered in the 16th century by some local men who stumbled upon it when clearing some grass. Within the dark cave they discovered many shrines and statues dedicated to Shiva and other Hindu deities. These included Mahadev and Parvati, Nageswor and Saraswati. Towards the read of the cave the men discover that a waterfall ran through it. Further inspection revealed to them that the water fall came from Patale Chhango.

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, one of the longest caves in Nepal is nearly 3km long. There are some walls dripping water inside the cave and about 40m in, we can see the statue of Lord Shiva. Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is near David’s falls.

The museum, managed by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, was established with the theme “Man, Mountain and Mountain activities around the world”.

Provides information on mountaineering, the world’s mountain system, mountain cultures, environments, prominent people in mountain history, mountain geography, ecology, exhibition of mountaineering history and implied methods.

The dome-shaped pagoda is an impressive sight, and its hilltop location commands a great view. It is a great vantage point which offers spectacular views of the Annapurna. Near the Peace Pagoda are Pumdi and Bumdi, two villages above Phewa Lake’s southern rim for exceptional views of the mountains.  They have the old style oval-shaped, red clay houses.
