Extension 4th Days:
Sightseeing at Pokhara Valley:
Phewa lake - the second largest lake in the
kingdom, roughly measuring 1.5 km by 4 km, is the center
of all attractions in Pokhara. The enchanting lake is an
idyllic playground. Brightly painted wooden boats and
sailboats can be rented on reasonable cost around
lakeside. The lake is neither deep (roughly 47 meters at
most) nor particularly clean, but the water is warm and
swimming is pleasant if you don't think about the
probable pollution. The eastern shoreline of the lake,
popularly known as Lakeside or Baidam, consists of
seemingly endless strip of lodges, restaurants,
bookshops and souvenir shops. One of the fascinating
parts of lakeside is the splendid view of the mountains,
especially when the still water reflects the peaks,
creating a double image.
Seti Gandaki - Flowing right through the city,
the boisterous river runs completely underground at
places. Amazingly, at certain points the river appears
hardly two meters wide. But its depth is quite beyond
imagination - over 20 meters! Mahendra Pul, a small
bridge near the old Mission Hospital, provides a perfect
view of the river's dreadful rush and the deep gorge
made by its powerful flow.
Devi's Fall - Locally known as Patale Chhango
(Hell's Fall), Devi's fall (also known as Devin's or
David's) is an awesome waterfall lying about 2 km
south-west of Pokhara airport on the highway to Tansen.
An interesting modern legend says that a foreigner named
David was skinny-dipping in the Pardi Khola (river) when
the floodgates of the dam were opened, sweeping him into
an underground passage beneath the fall, never to be
seen again.
Gupteswar Gupha - Gupteswar Gupha, a sacred cave,
lies 2 km from Pokhara airport on the Siddhartha Highway
leading southwest from the city. The entrance is right
across from Devi's Fall and the cave is almost 3 km
long. It has some big hall-size rooms and some passages
where you have to crawl on all fours. This cave holds
special value for Hindus since a phallic symbol of Lord
Shiva is preserved here in the condition it was
discovered. An entrance fee of Rs. 5 is charged and
taking pictures inside the cave is prohibited.
