Pokhara is 200km west of Kathmandu Valley . It can be expressed as the adventure capital of Nepal . Most of the adventure treks and rafting trips lead or start from here. It is a serene valley with beautiful landscapes and has a tropical feel to it. The fantastic view of Machhapuchre ( Fish Tail Mountain ) 6,977m is mesmerizing and looks on the valley as its guardian, this mountain rising behind it creates an ambience of peace and magic. On a clear day the mountains seem very close from the valley. The Annapurna range holds the tourist in awe and makes Pokhara the most sought after destination after Kathmandu . The serenity of the lake cannot be expressed in words and leaves the tourist spellbound.
