Comments: | Pokhara is Nepal's third largest city and because of its unique geographic location it's quite a mystical place in already (for the westerners) very mystical country. :) Regardless of fact that during the history Pokhara was important trading place on the route between India and Tibet, the first road to Pokhara was built in 1968. Until then Pokhara was accessible only by foot. In the late 60's when road was finally built, Pokhara was very quickly discovered by hippies who found the perfect place for practicing their life philosophy. :) Settled at the altitude of just over 1000m Pokhara has to thank its popularity to the beautiful lake Phewa Tal, very pleasant climate (15-20 C during winter and 30-35 C during summer) and to the beautiful Himalayan peaks visible from the city. In no other place mountains rise so quickly from the 1000 to 8000 m high. Puddling the legs in the lake with banana trees all around, watching at the beautiful 8000m peaks reflection in the water obviously create opportunity to think about various philosophical questions... :) For the less spiritual and more adventureus people there are still beautiful views and many many great trekking routes to plan in this very very nice place on Earth. |
