The journey begins with the amazing sightseeing of the Pokhara Valley. From the mystical caves to the mysterious waterfalls and marvelous Paragliding the activities that you can do in Pokhara is at abundance. Boating, shopping, and views of the Himalayas are common in the city. The place is more inclined towards nature even if you can find the modern facilities and structures.
