Pokhara Tour 2 Days |
Pokhara valley occupies the
central location in Nepal and is dominated by the peaks
of Annapurna range. Its unique setting may be judged
from the fact that the town of Pokhara (91 3 metres), is
only fifty kilometres from Annapurna 1 (8,091 metres),
clearly seen from the valley. There is a decline of six
thousand metres in altitude within a short distance of
only twenty-nine kilometres; thus the region provides a
dramatic contrast in landscape. The northern horizon is
defined by a seventy kilometres long wall of snow and
ice with numerous peaks. The prominent peaks from east
to west are Annapurna South (7,21 9 metres), Fang (7,647
metres), Annapurna 1 (8,091 metres), Rock Noir (7,454
metres), Glacier Dome (7,193 metres), Gangapurna (7,455
metres), Annapurna Ill (7,555 metres), Machhapuchhre
(6,997 metres), Annapurna IV (7,525 metres), Annapurna
11 (7,937 metres) and Lamjung Himal (6,983 metres). In
addition to these, Dhaulagiri 1 to the north-west and
Manaslu-Himalchuli peaks to the north-east are also
visible
Pokhara valley abounds in lakes. Phewa, Rupa and
Begnas are the most famous ones while Khaste, Dipang and
Mardi are some other smaller lakes situated further
away. Sporting activities like canoeing and swimming are
conducted on Phewa Lake, together with angling of carp
fish. On a small island is a temple dedicated to Varahi,
and in contrast to the gaiety of holiday makers,
devotees go about their worship undisturbed by the
goings-on in the water as well as occasional barbeques
on the banks of the lake. Apart from the lakes, the
floor of the valley is made up of a layer of gravel, cut
into intricate terraces and deep canyons by various
tributaries of the Seti river. |
