Seti Gorge (K I Singh Bridge): It is a mysterious wonder of Pokhara. Originated from the Machhapuchhre glacier, Seti (which means white in Nepali) River runs through the main city area. Amazingly, at certain points the river appears hardly two meters wide. But its depth is quite beyond imagination – in about 40 meters depth. The river provides a perfect view of its dreadful rush before it disappears at Bagar into a deep gorge. The gorge is visible from the bridges in the city, K.I. Singh Bridge, northwest end of the city, Mahendra pool, Ramghat, and Prithvi Chowk areas. K I Singh Bridge is the proper view point of this wonderful and interesting river gorge. Looking down these bridges one can see the white turbulent flow of the Seti through an incredibly narrow canyon about 46 m. below.
