AM: Drive to Pokhara

Pokhara, a Sub-Metropolitan City is the second largest city of Nepal and is situated about 200 km west of the capital Kathmandu. It serves as the headquarters of Kaski District, Gandaki Zone, and the Western Development Region. Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal. Three out of the ten highest mountains in the world — Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and Manaslu — are situated within 30 miles (linear distance) of the city, so the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas. Due to its proximity to the Annapurna mountain range, the city is also a base for trekkers undertaking the Annapurna Circuit through the ACAP region of the Annapurna ranges in the Himalayas.

 

PM: Half-day sightseeing tour of Pokhara Valley
Devi’s Fall: Locally known as Patale Chango (Hell’s Falls) also known as Devins and Davids is a lovely Waterfall about 2 km south West of Pokhara airport on the Siddhartha Highway. Legend has it that a trekker by the name of Davy was washed away by the Padi Khola and mysteriously disappeared into an underground passage beneath the fall.
Mahendra Cave: Another of nature’s wonders in Pokhara is the Mahendra Gufa. This large limestone cave is locally known as the House of Bats an apt name for it. A two-hour walk to the north of Pokhara, it is best to bring our own torch to see the stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the local winged residents.
Seti Gandaki Gorge: Another of Pokhara’s natural wonders is the Seti Gandaki River. Flowing right through the city, the boisterous river runs underground at places. Amazingly, at certain places, the river appears hardly two meters wide. However, its depth is quite beyond imagination, over 20m. Mahendra Pul, a small bridge near the old mission hospital, provides a perfect view of the river’s dreadful rush and the deep gorge made by its powerful flow.
The Old Bazar + Bindyabasini Temple:
Pokhara’s traditional bazaar is colorful and so are its ethnically diverse traders. Its temples and monuments can be seen as ties to the old Newar Architecture of the Kathmandu valley, Located about 4 km from Lakeside, the market’s original charm is still evident. This area is strewn with shops selling commodities ranging from edibles to cloth to cosmetics and gold is a pleasant and shady spot to stroll around.

The old Bazaar is also home to one of Pokhara’s most important shrines. Locally called the Bindhyabasini Mandir, this white dome-like structure dominates a spacious stone–paved courtyard built atop a shady hillock. It is dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, yet another manifestation of Shakti. The park–like grounds offer a fine picnic area, and on Saturdays, and Tuesdays when devotees flock there to offer sacrifices, it takes on a festive flavor.

AM: Sightseeing tour of Patan City, Swayambhunath Stupa and Kathmandu City

Patan city: The ancient city of Patan is known as Lalitpur, literally the city of fine arts, which is about five kilometers southeast of Kathmandu. The city is full of Hindu temples and Buddhist monuments. Besides an old royal palace, which dominates all others in grace and grandeur, it has a 16th-century Krishna Temple entirely made of stone. This shikhara-style structure with 21 pinnacles is dedicated to Lord Krishna, a savior deity in the Hindu pantheon. It is equally noted for rare stone carvings on its walls, which depict various episodes from the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Other landmarks within the Square are Tusha-hiti (water spout), Sundari Chowk, Taleju Temple, and the Keshav Narayan Chowk.

PM: Swayambhunath Stupa:
A golden spire crowning a conical wooded hill, Swayambhunath Stupa is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in Katmandu Valley. Its lofty white dome and glittering golden spires are visible from many miles and from all sides of the valley. Historical records found on a stone inscription give evidence that the stupa was already an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination by the 5th century AD.

Kathmandu City:
The seat of royalty till the last century, Kathmandu Durbar Square is a wondrous cluster of ancient temples, palaces, courtyards, and streets. Kumari, the living Goddess, the stone carved statue of ferocious Kal Bhairav, erotic carvings glorifying the artworks in the temples, the giant temple of the Goddess Taleju, and image of Shiva and Parvati peering outside through the window are just a few of the most noteworthy attractions in the area. One can’t help but admire the exceptionally attractive woodcarvings, statues, and buildings that are clustered in the area.

PM: Farewell dinner at a local Nepali restaurant with cultural program
