Day 1 :

Phewa Lake :
Phewa Lake is the second-largest lake in Nepal and is the main attraction in Pokhara. It’s the most beautiful of the three lakes in the area. You can rent a boat to row or sail across the water or visit the Barahi Temple on the small island in the middle of the lake. The eastern shore, known as Lakeside, is popular among travelers, with most hotels, restaurants, and shops located there.

Barahi Temple :
Barahi Temple, located in the center of Phewa Lake, is one of the most important landmarks in Pokhara. This two-story temple is dedicated to Ajima, the goddess representing the female force Shakti, in her boar form. On Saturdays, you’ll often see devotees bringing animals across the lake to be sacrificed to the deity.

Davis Falls :
Davis Falls, also called Devi's Fall, is a well-known tourist spot in Pokhara. It’s a unique waterfall that flows into an underground tunnel and then disappears, creating a mysterious and fascinating experience. The waterfall is named after a Swiss couple who tragically died here in the 1960s. The water flow is especially strong during the monsoon season, and the surrounding garden adds to the beauty of the area. Davis Falls is a must-see when visiting Pokhara Valley.

Gupteshwor Cave :
Gupteshwor Cave is a natural limestone cave in Pokhara, known for its intricate rock formations, underground waterfalls, and peaceful meditation chambers. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the cave features a large Shiva lingam near the entrance. The highlight is the majestic waterfall inside, which creates a magical atmosphere. Gupteshwor Cave is a unique and mystical experience you shouldn’t miss when visiting Pokhara Valley.

World Peace Pagoda :
The World Peace Pagoda sits on a hilltop on the southern shore of Phewa Lake. It features four Buddha statues, each facing a different direction. The pagoda is an impressive sight, and its location offers stunning views of the Annapurna range and Pokhara city, making it a great spot to enjoy the scenery.

Day 2 :

Sarangkot, Bindabasini Temple, Old Bazaar, Museums, Seti Gandaki George and Mahendra Cave

Sarangkot :
Sarangkot is a well-known hill station in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas, including the Annapurna range and Mount Machhapuchhre. It's especially famous for its sunrise and sunset views, which draw many visitors each year. Paragliding is a popular activity here, allowing you to glide over the valley and enjoy the stunning scenery. The hill station also has several tea houses, restaurants, and souvenir shops. A visit to Sarangkot is a must for anyone touring Pokhara Valley, especially if you love adventure and nature.

Bindabasini Temple :
Bindabasini Temple is one of the oldest temples in Pokhara. The temple’s main deity, Goddess Durga, is said to have been brought from India when Pokhara was part of the Kaski Kingdom. The temple offers a peaceful atmosphere and, on clear days, a good view of the Himalayas. Since it’s located near the old bazaar, you can easily combine a visit to the temple with a stroll through the market.

Old Bazaar :
Pokhara's old bazaar is vibrant and full of diverse traders. The temples and monuments here show connections to the Newar architecture of the Kathmandu Valley. Located about four kilometers from Lakeside, the market has kept its original charm. The bazaar is a lively area filled with shops selling everything from food and clothes to cosmetics and gold, making it a great place to explore.

The old bazaar is also home to one of Pokhara's most important shrines, the Bindabasini Mandir. This white dome-shaped structure sits in a spacious, stone-paved courtyard on a shady hillock. Dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, another form of Shakti, the temple grounds are a popular spot for picnics. On Saturdays and Tuesdays, the area becomes festive as devotees gather to offer sacrifices.
