Pokhara is the second largest city in Nepal after Kathmandu. It is also the second most popular city. And it is definitely the touristic center of Nepal. So much so that even Nepalese people come here for vacation.
The city is built on a valley. This valley, called Pokhara Valley, also gives the city its name. In the middle of the city, the world's most peaceful lake, Phewa, stretches along. This huge lake in the middle of the valley and the city's average altitude is between 750-900 meters. There are such peaks around this city, which is not even 1000 meters above sea level, that when you look at the mountains from anywhere in the city, you feel tiny. I think it is a very refined pleasure to suddenly see Himalayan peaks exceeding 7000 meters in front of you at an altitude of 900 meters. As you can see, the altitude transitions are very harsh in this region.
For some travelers, Pokhara is a natural wonder where you can trek to Machhapuchhare and Annapurna peaks or watch other peaks from the “Sarangkot” peak; for some travelers, it is a holiday resort known for steak, beer, billiards, bars, massage on Lake Side Road. Lake Side Road is the main street of the city.
The historical temples of mystical Kathmandu,
The city, which you will find quite different and calm after its palaces, dusty and incense-scented colorful streets, crowded avenues, and heavy traffic, promises you peace. Since our hotel was on the main street of Phat Kath, it was very easy for us to get to our trips. We didn't really tour much, I can say we ate, drank and chatted.
We stayed at Hostel Phat Kath. A hostel suitable for the hippy lifestyle.
