Pokhara — saat ve hava durumu

Görülecek yerler ve tarihi mekânlar

• Phewa Lake with the Taal Barahi temple on its small island is Pokhara's main place to relax — rent a boat and watch the Annapurna reflected in the water.
• The World Peace Pagoda on Anadu Hill above the lake is a white Buddhist stupa with a full panorama of the city and the Himalayas.
• Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and Mahendra Cave are limestone caves with a Shiva shrine and an underground river next to the Devi's Fall.
• Sarangkot is a ridge village above the town, the classic spot to watch the sunrise over Annapurna and Machhapuchhre (the Fishtail).
