City: Pokhara

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. Much more relaxed and green than Kathmandu, the city is the world's base camp for hikers, lovers of aerial sports such as paragliding and travelers in search of nature and spirituality.
