Sumérgete en la rica historia y cultura de Pokhara a través de sus museos y monumentos.
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.

Meeting point of Himalayan cultures: Gurung, Magar and Newar ethnic groups coexist with traditional settlements of Tibetan refugees.

The festival of lights that honors animals (dogs, crows, cows) and the goddess Lakshmi with candles and night chants.
A massive and joyful explosion of colored powders and water in the streets of Lakeside to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Originally inhabited by the Gurung and Magar ethnic groups in the surrounding hills and by the Newar community in the valley, Pokhara was a crucial crossing point on the trans-Himalayan trade routes linking India to Tibet.
In the 18th century it became part of the unified kingdom of Nepal under the Shah dynasty. In the 1950s, the arrival of Tibetan refugees and the opening of the first roads transformed the valley, boosting textile crafts and local trade.
Since the 1970s, with the arrival of the hippie movement and the rise of mountaineering on the Annapurna Circuit, Pokhara evolved to become the epicenter of ecotourism, extreme sports and wellness in the Himalayas.

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.
