Md Iqbal Hasan:“Last year I visited - Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal, is a breathtaking destination that perfectly blends natural beauty and tranquility. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the stunning landscape. Boating on the lake, especially at sunrise or sunset, is a mesmerizing experience. The Tal Barahi Temple, located on an island in the lake, adds a spiritual charm. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Phewa Lake is a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers”

宇宙之母母:“I hiked up in the summer rainy season. It was sunny in the morning and I saw the snow-capped mountains. It rained on the way back in the afternoon. The scenery was beautiful. It is worth a visit. Hiking [from the foot of Phewa Lake to the top of the mountain (snow mountain viewing platform) at an average speed of about 3 hours] Bus (90 Nepalese rupees/trip) to the town (you can transfer to the Fawa Lake bus for 25 Nepalese rupees/trip) Cable car (8 US dollars/one way, 12 US dollars/round trip) Taxi. No matter which way you travel, it is worth a visit. Getting up early and hiking up to watch the sunrise on the snow-capped mountains will give you a different experience. Different altitudes have different scenery. There is a quiet and beautiful, isolated and independent beauty. Especially the scattered villages and rural scenery all the way up to the central part, it feels like the plateau version of Tao Yuanming's paradise. If you have enough time, you can also choose to stay in the mountains for one or two nights. Watch the sunrise and sunset, the rolling clouds, the snow-capped mountains and lakes, the villages, the terraces, and the mountain views. You can also feel the life of the indigenous people of the plateau.”
M23***52:“Built in 2000 at the turn of the century, the Peace Tower was funded by Buddhists from Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Japan. The tower is 115 feet tall and 344 feet wide, divided into two floors. The tower is white and round, pagoda-style. On the four walls of the second floor of the Peace Tower, the golden statues of Buddha Sakyamuni in four stages are molded. The tower is a great viewing spot. The vast Lake Fewa, the dense houses under the mountain, and the snowy mountain view in the distance are fully reflected.”

1. Devis Falls is a small waterfall in Nepal, located in the urban area of Pokhara. It is also known as Davis Falls and Devil Falls. It is formed by melting ice and snow. In 1961, a Swiss couple went hiking and the girl fell into the waterfall. The boy also jumped into the waterfall to save his girlfriend. Unfortunately, they were both swallowed by the water and fell into the underground cave under the waterfall. The waterfall got its name. The waterfall is small and exquisite. It only forms a waterfall in the rainy season. It is hidden in the bustling city, like a secret garden, with towering ancient trees and lush greenery.

However, it is still a bit scary to think that there are still two bodies in the underground cave. The waterfall viewing area is divided into two directions: the side and the front. It is blocked by blue iron railings. The mobile phone must be extended from the gap between the railings to take pictures. The underground cave can be photographed from the side.

Shajaanmuazshaheem:“The lakeside in Pokhara offers unparalleled serenity. As dawn breaks, the tranquil waters of Phewa Lake reflect the Annapurna Range, creating a masterpiece of nature. Strolling along the peaceful shore, the gentle hum of boats and melodious bird songs provide a soothing soundtrack. The experience is a rejuvenating escape, perfectly blending natural beauty with a calming atmosphere. Pure bliss.”

E29***19:“The pizza and pasta are delicious, and the price-performance ratio is acceptable. We came here because we saw that the environment was good, and we were satisfied with the result.”
蝥箭:“I was looking for food in the comments and saw this restaurant. The name was very attractive, so I went to try it. The environment is very good, which is considered high-end in Pokhara. The service is very good, friendly and patient, and the key is that there is a picture menu. The steak I ordered was hard to bite. Although people say that there is no good steak here, it was really hard to bite.”
蝥箭:“FRESH ELEMENT. Before arriving in Pokhara, I boasted to my friends that the steak here is the best I have ever eaten in Nepal. A girl who didn't eat medium rare originally fell in love with this medium rare steak after eating it.
We arrived at the restaurant at around 4pm. It was very cool with the help of air conditioning and electric fans.
The medium rare steak was several levels lower than the boasted one. Did they change the chef?
The environment and service are equally excellent. I will try something else next time.”
米八生:“When in Pokhara, you can try to start your day with a cup of coffee and good music, so come to AM/PM organic café. This cafe may be a little more expensive than other places, but the coffee and snacks here are really delicious. They don’t have many dishes, but they are all exquisite. The atmosphere here is very good, and the manager David and the staff here are very kind. This is the best cafe in Pokhara! When you are tired of being in nature, you can come to these beautiful and comfortable places to enjoy their warm hospitality.”
红妆人Nefelibata:“Some of the private rooms upstairs are decorated with movie themes, which is very atmospheric. This time I went to the restaurant, it was already full of atmosphere and the dishes were all classic. A good place for holiday gatherings! The decoration of the knife and fork meets chopsticks is a retro industrial style.”
e13***35:“I really like the salad in this restaurant. Not only are the ingredients very fresh, but the portions are also very filling. The potatoes in this restaurant are also very delicious and the price is very reasonable.”
小丽:“Personal taste. The steak is the kind that has been beaten and marinated for a long time. It has tendons and is not easy to cut. Most of the vegetables are burnt and cannot be eaten. In short, the taste is good. The taste is not ideal. The price is cheap.”
