It is bordered to the north by Tibet of the Peoples Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square Kilometers (56,827 sq mile) and a population of approximately 30.89 million [2023 AD], Nepal is the world’s 93rd largest country by land mass and the 49th most populous country.

Nepal is of roughly trapezoidal shape, 800 kilometer (500 mile) long and 200 kilometer (125 mile) wide in average. See List of territories by size for the comparative size of Nepal. Nepal is commonly divided into three physiographic areas: the Mountain, Hill, Siwalik region and Terai Regions. These ecological belts run east-west and are vertically intersected by Nepal’s major, north to south flowing river systems. The southern lowland plains or Terai bordering India are part of the northern rim of the Indo-Gangetic plains. They were formed and are fed by three major rivers: the Koshi, the Narayani, and the Karnali. This region has a subtropical to tropical climate.

Climate from June to August the monsoon time and only city to city based tour we recommend. The post-monsoon period from September to November is considered best time in Nepal. It will be clean air and excellent mountain views can be seen. Days are warm and sunny, although nights become increasingly cool. Winter time from December to February is dry and clear with temperatures dropping below freezing especially at high altitudes places, although in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini it can still sometimes reach a pleasant 25C. Spring (March to May) is warmer and considered second high season for tour is a particularly beautiful time to visit as the rhododendrons and the orchids are in flower.

Pokhara (123 Sq. Km) is the one of the most beautiful city and second largest tourist destinations in Nepal. It is popular as “City of Lakes”. Pokhara is connected with all the major cities of Nepal with land transport. Regular flights also available from Kathmandu, Bharatpur(Chitwan) , Bhairahawa(Lumbini) & Nepalgunj. Pokhara is famous for sightseeing and mountain views. Phewa Lake, Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake are some of the major attractions. The mind blowing views of Annapurna range to the north of Pokhara including Annapurna I and VI, Annapurna South and Machhapuchhare gives you an amazing feeling. When the sun rises, you can see the reflection of the mountains in the lake, truly a photographer’s paradise.The place is an ideal place to visit for the travelers. It is also very much popular for the adventure activities. Most of the popular trekking in Annapurna region begins from here.

Most of the tourist visit Pokhara not only for sightseeing purpose but also for the other available optional activities like bungee Jumping, Paragliding, Zip Flyer, Hot Air Balloon, ltralight flight, heli flights to Mountains, Sky diving etc. Pokhara was part of a once vibrant caravan route extending between India and Tibet.

The most spectacular sight in Pokhara is the sight of Annapurna range. See the following image which shows eight important mountains of the Annapurna range.
This range stretching from west to east includes Dhaulagiri, South Annapurna, Annapurna 1, Hiunchuli, Fish-tail (Machapuchare), Annapurna 3, Annapurna 4, and Annapurna 2. In Pokhara, the holy unclimbed mountain Macchapucchre (or also known as Fishtail Mountain), located in the middle of the Annapurna range, can be seen standing right in front of our nose.

Everyone in Pokhara wakes up early to greet the mountains during sunrise. The reflection of sunlight from a mountain is always a breathtaking site. You will never forget the sight of the fishtail mountain standing right before your eyes saying “Good Morning”

The village offers the spectacular close view of Annapurna and the view during sunset and sunrise is fantastic. The trekking also offers the scenic foothills along with charming villagers.
