Pokhara, Tourism capital in Kaski District, Nepal
Located at 900 meters elevation, Pokhara stretches along the shores of Phewa Lake with the Annapurna mountain range forming its natural backdrop.
The city emerged as a commercial center in the mid-18th century when Newar traders from Bhaktapur settled there under the direction of the King of Kaski.
The Barahi Temple, situated on an island in Phewa Lake, represents traditional Nepali architecture and serves as a central place of worship for locals.
The Annapurna Cable Car connects visitors to observation points offering views of the Himalayan peaks and operates daily from sunrise to sunset.
Three of the world's ten highest mountains - Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and Manaslu - stand within 35 miles of the city's boundaries.
