The city of Pokhara is renowned for its setting rather than its historical or cultural endowments. Its quiet lakeside location and proximity to the mountains mean it is an ideal place for recovering from (or gearing up for) a trek, taking leisurely strolls or simply putting your nose in a good book. And as if to make everything perfect, Pokhara has some of the country's best accommodation and restaurants as well. There's a batch of Tibetan
settlements, a hilltop monastery and the pretty Devi Falls nearby. Day walks can be taken
to Sarangkot (1592m), the limestone caves at Mahendra Gufa or Rupa and Begnas Tals lakes.
More exertion (but not much more) will be required to tackle the three to four-day
Annapurna Skyline Trek. Pokhara There are daily flights between Pokhara and Kathmandu. The
bus trip between the two towns takes about eight hours.
