Pokhara, the tourism and adventure capital of Nepal, sits on the banks of the serene Phewa Lake and in the shadow of the majestic Annapurna massif and the iconic Machapuchare (Fishtail) peak.

Sunrise in Sarangkot without Crowds
Instead of staying on the main platform of Sarangkot, continue walking 10 minutes further towards the ruins of the ancient fort (Kaski Kot) to enjoy the sunrise in total solitude.
Relaxing Afternoon at Lake Begnas
Take a local taxi to Lake Begnas at midday, rent a boat to cross to the small family restaurants on the other side of the lake, and enjoy a leisurely lunch with views of the mountain reflections.
The Traditional Greeting
Bring your palms together at chest level and bow your head slightly saying 'Namaste'; It is the most respectful and appreciated way to say hello and thank you.
Spin the Prayer Wheels
In Buddhist stupas and monasteries (such as the Shanti Stupa or Tibetan settlements), always walk and turn the prayer wheels clockwise.
Drinking Water Consumption
Don't drink tap water. Use sealed bottled water or refill your canteen with purifying filters at Lakeside's 'Safe Water' points.
Massages for Post-Trekking Recovery
Take advantage of Lakeside's many Ayurvedic massage and reflexology centers to relieve muscle overload after descending the Annapurna trails.
Certified Paragliding Companies
Pokhara is one of the best destinations in the world for tandem paragliding; Make sure you hire the activity through agencies authorized by the CAAN (Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal).
Caution When Swimming in Phewa Lake
Swimming is not recommended in the areas near Lakeside due to the constant boat traffic and the presence of currents or mud on the bottom; opt for Lake Begnas for safe swimming.
