Visit to the city of Pokhara, the second city of Nepal
Although Pokhara is not the first city we visit Nepal , it is undoubtedly the second largest tourist town in the country.
More natural and wilder, the inhabitants of the city of Pokhara enjoy an exceptional living environment. Located on the edge of a deep green lake, the city has the Himalayan chain as a backdrop. A city with multiple facets, Pokhara attracts more and more travellers in this surprising city.

True paradise for lovers of strong sensations, Pokhara is often the starting city for many trekkers challenging the tower of the Annapurnas and other peaks of the Himalayas. The activities are not missing in this city, and we are exhausted after long weeks in the mountains or eager for discoveries, Pokhara is ideal for any sport but also for all those who want to rest after the frenetic city that is Kathmandu.
Located in the heart of cafés-restaurants and hotels, the district Lakeside , the equivalent of Thamel in Kathmandu, welcomes yoga and meditation centers. Relaxed as never before, everyone can enjoy the many extreme sports offered by the city's agencies and tour operators. As if flying over the Himalayas was not enough, during a paragliding flight, a raptor ballet will accompany many travellers who have tried this incredible experience. Pokhara is one of the best paragliding spots in the world.

A city dazzling both by its cultural richness and by its beauty, here is how one could describe the city of Pokhara.
