Pokhara the third largest city in Nepal, is a popular base for trekkers to Himalayan Mountain ranges as three of the highest mountains in the world (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manshu), are within 30 miles of the city. It is the most famous tourist destination in the nation locating just 200km west of its Capital Kathmandu.
The inspiring landscape and mountain scenery.
Pokhara is populated with 265 thousand inhabitants who live harmoniously in the valleys with surrounded mountains.
Terraced farm fields in the valley.
The pretty young lady opens a little shop along the track, not only offers supply of water and snacks to trekkers but also gives convenience to trekkers upon nature calls.
A simple home but a happy life.
The valley became lively with a tint of yellow complimented from rapeseed flowers.
Seniors need a helping hand from juniors when coming to steep and sharp corners like this, along the trail.
World Peace Pagoda was our destination.
A diversity of beautiful landscape.
The stunning view of mountain ranges.
World Peace Pagoda stands ahead above the staircase and beyond the building structures.
